1970 Honda CB

Clear

Up for auction is an amazing, original 1970 CB 750 painted in stock factory candy gold.!! Absolutely everything on this motorcycle is factory original except for left mirror and a new battery! It even has an original honda logo fob on the key ring! This beauty has only 4,691 original miles. WOW! Original Bridgestone Japanese made tires. California blue and yellow plate with 1973 tags on it... It hasn't seen the road since 1973! Slightly faded headlight bucket and some small dents on the top of the ears. The gas tank has 2 very small dimples...almost invisible unless you look at the tank at an angle. No major dents! The inside of the tank needs to be flushed. Original petcock has been rebuilt. I got the bike running on my "I.V". set up..... I did not want to dirty up the petcock and the carbs. The gas cap is original and shiny but is pitted. It has the thumb latch as it should. The bike has HM 300 original exhaust in great condition. No major rust, no holes...excellent chrome. The left underside has some small dents you can see in the pics...from loading on a trailer i think..or tipping over on the left side. The right side is smooth and dent free. Baffles were removed by previous owner. I have them and they will come with the bike. The bike has the black killswitch, single cut front fender, and the original ducktail seat! Unfortunately the owners dog tore this amazing seat! It is tragic. I'm including an aftermarket KO seat with the sale. I highly recommend having the original seat fixed by a qualified upholsterer. It is still very cushy and the seat is in amazing shape...really nice trim... Worth saving! The side covers are complete with good-looking emblems and screens are intact. They are not cracked but they are showing their age. Air box is original and in good shape as well. 2 small cracks on the underside but still, very sturdy. Carbs were removed, cleaned and synched. Speedo and Tach are in great shape and in working order. All lights light up... the turn signal jewel is falling in a bit. The tach has a crack across the face but is fully functional. The rear fender was destroyed by a sissy bar that was put on by the previous owner but hey, it was the 70's and that's what they did! At least its not a chopper! :) Brand-new OEM rear fenders can be purchased online for approx. $300. The right side fin next to cylinder #4 is broken. You can see in the pic its about 3/4 of an inch in size. The previous owner smacked the fin with his ratchet when he broke the #4 plug free. :( I don't know a good Heli-arc welder. I'm including a spare head that you can use if you know someone who can repair it. I want to be sure i mention as many "imperfections" as I can. This Honda is in fantastic condition for its age. It's not perfect, I like the patina it has. You can restore it or let it be the way it is. As you can see the rims and spokes are in great condition! The frame paint is good...it shows some age here and there. The handlebar is bent on the left from tipping over...see pics. I have included a OEM set of bars with the sale. The bike starts right up on the first kick or the touch of the starter button. Idles and revs great...shifts smoothly through all 5 gears....sounds pretty mean without the baffles! Front brake resevoir was drained and i did not rebled it. I did not replace the fork seals, or bled the front brake. They may need to be rebuilt. Might as well do it when the fork gators are put on. There is a lot to talk about on this bike so I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU LIKE!! I MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN A FEW THINGS. I HAVE A LOT OF PICS SO ASK FOR ANYTHING! The bike has a clear California title in my name. So here's a recap....The following items will be included with the sale of the bike. Some are already on the bike now...See pics! New replacement KO seat. New crash bars from 1971 New OEM left switch and OEM right switch with black kill switch New OEM handlebars New OEM foot pegs New OEM rear tank rubber mount. New OEM front fork gators Original tool kit These parts will make this beauty look brand new again! I require a $500 deposit through PayPal but please DO NOT PAY THE FULL AMOUNT WITH PAYPAL.
