Hi update
I have located a couple NOS and used parts for the bike
got the tip off from John
found 2 NICE used Fork covers and some NOS side cover emblems
waiting on tank emblems to show soon NOS found on Kijiji and eBay
just like charisma or even better

Shoulder surgery vent well and no use of the arm for 8 weeks and then all the rehab
advised it can take up to 8 months before it's fully functional
that cuts my riding season short

Nice looking parts....

Good Luck on your shoulder, rotator cuff?

I've had each shoulder done......twice....not fun but will be better off in the long run.

Finely back at the project CB750F
My shoulder is getting back to some what normal function

Been stock piling parts and more bikes
bought 2 more CB750F the one is a bike in a box deal and it came with $800+ in new Honda NOS parts.Cant complain about that deal for $450.00 CAN

The second bike I just got it yesterday and it was a good deal $850 CAN
the bike has a BEAUTIFUL stock pipe with no rust .can't get any better
engine turns over will do a prime on the oil pressure be fore I attempt to start it up           last registration was in 2007 and 20000 miles on the clock
has a stupid fairing on it and missing the fork covers  >:(
the rest looks like a good deal .Rims are in good shape and the seat pan looks like it can be salvaged with a bit of repair if needed 

changed out the fork covers with the new NOS parts from Cameron motorsport in Ontario
thanks to John for the tip and the NOS emblems

Have a great time. Sounds like a great event. Our own Ganaraska 250 event didn’t happen this year. After 12 events, the organizing Team lost steam and the team tries were hitting smaller…… that one seems to be growing!
