Vehicle Detail
This is a 1973 Honda cb750 that has been completely taken apart and rebuilt as a cafe racer. The matching numbers engine has a little under 20,000 miles on it, less than 500 after rebuilding the head. I put in new clutch plates, and rebuilt the head using new valves and springs. New plugs and wires, valves have been adjusted, driven and re-adjusted for fine tuning. New filter and oil. The engine casings have been polished, new stainless allen bolts, Dyna electronic ignition and coils, and new gaskets when put back together. The stock carburetors have been rebuilt with new kits. The main jets have been replaced with 120s to compensate the air pods and Kerker exhaust. Carbs are clean, synced and polished for a fast and clean start every time. The gas tank was painted by one of the finest painters here in Los Angeles, many coats of clear. No bondo, no orange peel. Clean inside and out. A beautiful tank with new Honda pet cock and clear fuel lines and new filters. The seat was hand built. Polished aluminum cowl that hides the brand new Yuasa dry cell battery, rectifier, and starter solenoid. The seat is hinged like a trunk for easy access to electronics. The front part of the seat is hinged as well for easy access to oil reservoir, wiring and fuse. The steel, oil reservoir was hand-built with stainless steel hoses. It tucks under the seat pan nicely, but provides plenty of oil for cooling - a nice complement to the bike's design. The wheels were taken apart and rebuilt using new spokes and powder coated rims. The polished hub in the rear has new brake shoes. I inspected the bearings, re-packed them with grease after cleaning everything. New raised letter tires and tubes. Front brake consists of rebuilt caliper and master cylinder. New brake line, brake pads new fluid. New X-ring heavy duty chain, and new oem sprockets. New brass bushings installed into the powder coated swing arm. New Progressive rear shocks. Custom, hand built aluminum rear sets and linkage that work perfectly, shifting gears, and rear brake. Comfortable. Custom wiring using the original color-coded Honda Wires. I used the original wires after carefully inspecting every inch of them to make sure nothing is broken or cut, replacing only what was needed. The headlight is from a1968 Harley Sportster - it is an Italian-designed light with polished aluminum visor and light switch and an amber, jewel indicator light. With a clear spotlight sealed beam lens. The tail light is a sleek, polished brass piece mounted to the frame, with easy access to open if the bulb ever burns out. Polished aluminum fork stabilizer mounted to increase handling. I know there is a lot of details I have left out, so feel free to contact me with questions. I build Honda CB750s '69-'78 SOHC. I know these bikes inside and out and think they are some of the best bikes ever built. I am one of the better cafe racer builders in Southern Calfornia, if you care to, look me up on Facebook under La Ca Fe' Motorcycles to see other builds I am doing, and look out for a webstie that is coming soon. This bike has been throughly gone through, inspected, and road tested on the freeways here in Los Angeles. This is an exceptional build that is a turn-key driver and needs nothing but a new owner to enjoy for years to come. It is fast, agile, and handles extremely well. It growls, screams, and barks like some mad jungle beast that a blast it is to drive! I recently drove it up the coast to Malibu and took the canyons through the Santa Monica Mountains back to Downtown L.A. This bike runs fantastic and has not been abused in any way. The cb750 is easy to work on and only requires the basic maintenance to keep on the road. Title and current registration is in my name so you will have no paperwork surprises. Bid with confidence because this vintage cafe racer is a great one! Paypal is required or cash upon pick up. If you need to pay with a cashier's check, it will need to clear my bank before I will release the motorcycle. VERY IMPORTANT, if you have zero feedback, or a history of negative feedback, I will have to delete your bid unless you contact me convincing me not to. A $1,000. deposit is needed within two days after winning bid, and payment in full will be expected seven days after winning bid.
