Currently I own a 1982 CB 650. Before I got it (6 months ago), I had never worked on any type of vehicles and know very little about engines. It was pretty beat up but ran. I had my mechanic do the carbs but did the rest myself. I cleaned it up or replaced a lot of rusted parts. I bought a manual and researched online any issues that it had. Since I got it, I've been looking for a CB750 in my price range (0$). I've located a 1978 cb750K for $400, but here's the catch. The bike has been completely disassembled. The previous owner took it apart to restore it but never completed the job. Although the (new low mileage) engine and frame are together, the rest is in boxes. I've gotten some pictures and it seems like its in decent condition with some rust but nothing major. The pipes were rusted through and were removed and disposed of long ago. My questions are these...
Am I out of my mind (just in regard to the bike)?
Is there anything I should be aware/wary of when looking through the pieces?
To pick it up, I'll have to drive over 150 miles to get it. Is $400 too much for the effort?
I realize these are questions based more on opinion and personal expectations, but I certainly could use some feedback. I appreciate any comments.
