Latest CB750 purchase
« on: April 14, 2013, 06:35:20 PM »
latest purchase.    Finally found a decent cb750 to ride till I get my mint 750 built.
Not a steal at 1400. but lots of potential and no work needed.  Perfect summer beater bike.
only thing i need to do is change the carb spring, its so tight it wears you out.

Nice and no way a beater bike.   Very good deal at $1400. Looks like original paint? Mileage??

Wow if that is your idea of a beater I would love to see mint condition.

Around here that bike would be $3k minimum. Nice find!
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

thanks guys,  yeah not really a beater but beater price i guess.   carb spring is super stiff so ill swap that out,  oil change and tune.   runs really well with a slight hesitation at low rpm.
