Finally scored a barn find!
« on: Today at 05:46:14 PM »
Picked up this 750 recently. Hasn’t been on the road since the early 80’s! It starts but needs a little love. Paint and chrome is crazy good for its age. Came with a windjammer.

The catch- no title.  Was looking at the bonded title route, but thought I’d check the forum first- anyone got a framed title for sale? I’d love to get this bike on the road again and not just part it out.

Can't really help, but, it's too nice to part out.

Why not go the bonded title route?  I know it takes time to convert to a real title, something like 2 years here in NC (I may be wrong on that).

What's your state law on converting a bonded title to a regular title?

Yep, with a 'Jammer aboard it looks like the thousands of them that were touring at about that time.
It's not even broken in yet!

I haven’t posted in years, glad to see you’re still spreading the
Knowledge Hondaman :). Were the jammers a dealer option?

 A lot of the windjammers were dealer installed.

 It looks like that might have been a mouse free barn. The little rippers do untold damage to seats wiring and chrome. Unspeakable things if they can get into the engine.

Nice find! That one is definitely worth pursuing a title.
Looks like the bonded title process is pretty straight forward in your state.
