1974 HONDA CB750, MFG DATE 5/73. I BOUGHT BIKE FROM ORIGINAL OWNER IN 2000 & I PUT MAYBE 20 MILES ON IT SINCE, CALIFORNIA BIKE SINCE NEW. TITLE IS IN MY NAME & HAS BEEN ON NON OP SINCE I BOUGHT. HAS BEEN SITTING IN GARAGE WITH MY OTHER BIKES THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RIDE SINCE ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO DUE TO MEDICAL CONDITION (NO BALANCE). I GOTTA LET IT GO, LET SOMEONE ENJOY A GREAT BIKE. JUST SERVICED BIKE, CLEANED CARBS, WHICH LOOK EXCELLENT INSIDE, CHECKED SYNC, TIMED, ADJ VALVES & OIL & FILTER CHANGE, NEW FORK SEALS & BATTERY. BEEN A BIKE MECHANIC SINCE THE 70s & WORKED IN SHOPS IN THE EARLY 80s. IT IS BASICLY A STOCK BIKE THAT HASN'T BEEN MOLESTED OR HACKED UP LIKE MOST. ONLY THING CHANGED ARE A PERIOD CORRECT KERKER EXHAUST, K&N AIR FILTER, 8809 KONI SHOCKS, I BELIEVE FROM THE EARLY 80s, & A RECOVERED SEAT THAT I DID (NOT A GREAT JOB) WITH LOWER FOAM ON ORIGINAL PAN. HAS TOOL KIT & OWNERS MANUAL. SAME DUNLOP TIRES SINCE I BOUGHT WHICH WERE FAIRLY NEW AT THE TIME. REAR LOOKS GREAT, FRONT HAS SOME HAIRLINE CRACKING ON SIDES. WAS GOING TO PAINT BUT TANK WAS SO CLEAN & STRAIGHT I JUST POLISHED BARE METAL, NEEDS TO BE SEALED, PAINTED OR POLISHED EVERY FEW DAYS. SIDE COVERS ARE PRIMED & HAD NO CRACKS OR BREAKS. THE ONLY PITTING ON BIKE IS THE FORK CAPS (SEE PIC) & VERY LIGHT SPOTS OF PITTING ON FRONT FENDER, HAVE TO LOOK REAL CLOSE TO NOTICE & ONE VERY SMALL DING ON TOP, HARD TO SEE. SOME SURFACE RUST ON UNDERSIDE OF EXHAUST. ENGINE PAINT COULD USE SOME TOUCH UP & CHAIN GUARD HAS SOME BATTERY ACID SPOTS. BIKE HAS HAD NO TOUCHUP PAINT. REAR FENDER, HAND RAIL, BARS & HEADLIGHT RIM CHROME IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN POLISHED. SPEEDO & TACH FACES ARE FADED. PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS BIKE JUSTICE, YOU GOTTA SEE IT. COME BY & SEE BIKE ANYTIME. I TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES, SOME IN THE SHADE & SOME IN THE SUN. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT A VIDEO CLIP ON SO YOU CAN HEAR. ALMOST FORGOT, BIKE RUNS EXCELLENT, VERY SMOOTH & FAST. I'M SURE I FORGOT SOME DETAILS BUT ASK QUESTIONS.
