Topic: 1977 CB750K engine

[Leganto]

Is 150 bucks a good deal for a 1977 CB750K engine with no carbs? The guy says it runs with no smoking.

Of course...if I had the engine I would have to find a rolling chassis that it would fit on. Is it worth messing with at all?

I definitely want to add a 750 to my collection..but I am just not sure this is the way to do it.

thanks for any advice,
Jeremy

A spare engine is good to have,especially if you have a bike already in need.You are looking to get into the 750 market.You may be better off waiting for a complete machine in known running condition for your starter experience. Unless you know the guy or the history of that spare engine there is risk involved

if you can spare the money but i wouldnt count on it... is the kickstart hooked up ... you could at least make sure it turns..... if you really want it offer him 100 bucks

i dont think you will end up finding a frame easy i would keep my eyes peeled for a whole bike... you have to find the carbs, electronics, wheels, and at 100 a peice thing could add up quickly
