Hey Guys.
« on: November 16, 2020, 10:41:04 AM »
How's it going all? My name is Jeremy, just wanted to plant some some roots down here as I step into the world of SOHC Honda. Have been messing around with the early V4 Magnas and VTX1300 the last few years.
I recently picked up an original owner 75 750f that was parked in a shed since 1985. It has 12000 miles, its the sapphire blue. Inside of the tank is actually rust free, blew my mind. The seat actually cleaned up like new with no rips and is still soft and supple also. The rest of the bike is pretty bad

I already have it completely torn down and waiting on various parts. I will need to send the head to someone for valve guides and seats cut but things are coming together. I may start a topic in the project section to show progress. Cant wait to see her come back to life!
