Barn find CB 750
« on: July 18, 2011, 04:38:24 AM »
Pretty nice and doesn't need much work.

Has been standing still for more then 10 years and couldn't run or anything. Electrical system was messed up, acording to the former owner. They put on a battery the wrong way (didn't think that's possible).

After new spark plugs and some sandpaper on the fuse box, she spins like a cat.

CB 750 K6 1975

So far I found out, that the exhausts have some holes in them. Fixed it temporary with chemical metal and som alumnium, but I'm looking for 2 exhausts (bottum ones).

If anyone has 2 or 4 exhausts, please let me know.b

Nice bike.  How are the spokes on that rear wheel?  Also, are you doing the bearings?

Good find!
