So here is my Vermont winter project. I wish I had started this posting sooner, but never really got a around to it. Back in October I bought a 1972 CB750 and decided to post my progression throughout the rebuild. I don't really have the time or money for a full restore. And I've tried to keep this project to a financial minimum, but exceeded the bank account just a little

!
Long story short my first bike was a 1977 CB550 that I sold before moving up here in June and regretted it ever since. One of those I'm moving, somebody wants to buy it, and the price was right sort of things.

We pack up everything, the 2 dogs, the cat, truck on tow dolly (dogs in truck), 16' moving truck and drive 31 hours straight to Vermont. Of course we get up here and my neighbors have hondas. I instantly want to get a another one.
I search craigslist on a daily basis for weeks. Nothing really comes up. Dont want to go smaller than a 550. There was a nice CB500, didn't get it, and still wish i had. So I put up a posting on CL that Im looking, and get a call from a guy in Franklin, VT (right up near Canada) with a 1972 CB750 for sale, with a 75 750 parts bike (seized engine), and a third set of carbs for $800. Why the hell not!
There are a few things wrong with it:
Front fork seals need replacement
Tachometer is missing a needle
Has a king queen seat
Bad looking Kreeme job
Left fork ear has been broken and welded
Missing a left side cover
PO says that the starter isn't hooked up
Thats it! Minimal rust for anything in Vermont. For those who dont know it Vermont has a large appetite for eating cars and the sort.
He swears to me that it runs and I grab it. So far everything that he has said has been spot on.

Get it home, unload the bike, and look at my new found treasure/project/headache/fun.

First things first: New gas, buy a battery, and see if she'll start!
