1976 CB750 Barn Find.
« on: May 16, 2014, 02:34:19 AM »
So here I go again. I am almost finished with the refinishing of my Big Dog Prosport and an looking at doing something with this CB750.



It is pretty rough but it does run. I have pulled the carbs off and had them cleaned. Not sure yet what I will turn it into. I may just clean it up and sell it.

Get it running reliably and safely. Then ride the bejesus out of it until you figure out whether to sell it or rebuild it.
