CB750K7 Completed ( pictures )
« on: January 25, 2009, 07:05:13 AM »
Hi guys,
just a quick line to thank you all for the invaluable ifo I got from reading you postings, I know I could have not completed this bike without it.Went out on it today and parked it up for 10mins to shop and a crowd was gathered round it on my return, with the time old question , " is it new "

Thanks for all the praise boy's, cost me £1500 spent £2,500 on the resto, it's probably worth £2,500, what a good businessman I turned out to be, but it's priceless to me always wanted one and I think this is probably one of, if not the best in the world at the moment, she runs smooth as silk and loads of power, the tank on it at the moment is not the one I'll show it with, it's got very small dots in the lacquer, so I'm having another one resprayed, and will fit it when it's finished, I only wish painters would do as good a job as they say they can, when you employ them, they all talk the talk but some can't walk the walk ;)
I might see some of you Brits at the shows over the next months come over and say hello
regards and thanks again

I'd say very seldom, if ever, could we expect the result of our labors on these bikes to exceed in value that which we've spent on them. Breaking even would be a huge success. (financially).

I don't know of any bikes that would, maybe an Indian or such. But as you say the value to us is priceless.

Looks fantastic Mike. BUT, where are the before pictures? We need pictures! Can you post a list of what work you did, what parts you replaced, where you got parts, etc? Always good reading for us veterans or newbies alike. It's called motivational therapy.

Beautiful...always liked the 77.  Probably because I bought a new one in 1977 and it was my first 750K.  Nice job...now what's next!!!  ;D

Fantastic Job!
I have a black 750K7 too. I am going to print that out and hang it in my shop for inspiration.
