Okay, that bike is just ugly. Paint colors can be changed but it would be major surgery to take the ugly out.

"The rear fender is too scary close to the tire"
Good luck changing the tire... not much of a problem with being close but it should at least match the wheel radius and be centred.
Add a few dozen random size and location "lightening" holes and it would be perfect (ly awful)

AS horrible as they look Eric, I'd take them. I paid $1500 (around $1200) plus $600 ($470 USD) shipping for this pile a couple of months ago. No switches, electrics, carbs, airbox etc. Frame had "rust repairs" welded (badly) all over it, and pistons were rusted seized into the bores so bad I had to bash them out. I'd take those two in a flash!

I can only imagine how many bikes you would have in your barn Terry if you lived over here in the rust belt.

Ha ha, yes mate, I think the “one mans trash is another man’s treasure” couldn’t be more apt in our situation where your worst bikes are our good bikes, due to your population and the availability of bikes there compared to Oz. If I lived near you and Sean, I reckon we’d have a ball picking all those orphans that just need a little love!

Also looking like the owner only makes left turn with the muffler on that thing.

Holy crap that's a huge "muffler".

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #2464 on:** June 17, 2021, 05:50:30 pm »

I looked at it and thought if he's made a cold airbox for it, that ram air tube would probably work well, but then I saw that there was no airbox, so just wankery, by the looks of it. The muffler could also double for a side stand......

They're Industrial Strength ! That's going to need a Heavy Duty belt guard on it to.That 'crash bar'? on it looks like it was removed from a closed-down mill:staircase handle. Oops

Now I see that 'bar' is the exhaust? pipe

I'm not sure, they're made in India though so at least the parts are completely worn out/had a long and useful life.

"Make your friend thirsty with envy with this bar cart" Okay, I'm not feeling it, so I'll throw it out there, Who would feel envious if they came to my place and saw that pile of sh1t sitting in my lounge room? Anyone? Nah, didn't think so.

And of course if I chopped a CB750 in half to build a "bar cart", my friends would probably have me committed..........

Alan F. · « **Reply #2472 on:** June 21, 2021, 05:37:06 am »

I do remember someone had a small table or bench top sitting on the seat area of a 750 frame, frame was a roller and was up on its centerstand. It looked ok and was a good use of space in a crowded shop.

I might have to revisit that idea to save some space if my shop winds up in a storage locker.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #2473 on:** June 21, 2021, 05:42:35 am »

Oh that's right, I forgot that you're moving, and not real happy about it. Well good luck mate, I had around 5 complete CB750's when I bought this house, and I had to put them, my 1 ton lathe, mill/drill and all my other workshop equipment into storage for several months when I bought this place, before I had the driveway all the way thru, and the new garage built, so I can remember how boring it was with no garage and no bikes for a few months, lets hope that you fare better.
