getting new bike tonight
« on: June 25, 2012, 12:09:01 PM »
new to me at least.  a 1975 cb750 real clean it's blue and white starts and runs needs some tinkering though. original po had put a breadbox on it and the rubbers on them are shot chrome is very nice pipes have some rust clean title front brakes need work the lever wont move it's stuck seat is in excellent shape. i pick it up at 7:30 tonight this is going to be the longest afternoon ever as soon as it gets home i'll post some pics.

The best option out there; it runs but needs tinkering  ;D

thanks guys the tinkering part is very minimal.i do have some pods to slap on there and take off the old rotted breadbox rubbers.and on another note I'm stopping to look at a 72 cb450 the guy wants 125.00 for it. no title but here in Kansas it's easy to get a antique title for it.so it looks like the shop might be full tonight
