I went through the bike front to back and cleaned, fixed, repaired and made improvements as necessary to put it back on the road. I am a retired Aircraft Mechanic and have been working on CB750's for over 35 years. It is now a very clean, (Certified) mechanically excellent motorcycle. It is period correct but NOT a show bike. All of the Dunstall bodywork still has the original red gelcoat finish that is in very nice shape and shows well, especially considering it is almost 40 years old. The bike runs excellent and everything works as original, it pulls strong to redline and does not burn oil. It shifts cleanly through all gears and is ready to ride. I have done a number of 100+ mile trips without any mechanical issues. In the interest of full honesty here are the bikes negatives: It does not idle as smoothly as a stock CB750 due to the carbs and cam (yes, the carbs are synchronised!) The left electrical side cover has a crack (has been epoxied on the inside) The Dual Dunstall seat that is included has minor cracking and minor upholstery issues (see pics) The right rearset aluminum footpeg plate was cracked and rewelded. The right front cylinder barrels at the base have 2 small broken fins (see pics) The windscreen on the bike was cut down by approx 3 inches to trim away some damage but looks perfect and works very well. In addition the smaller solo seat installed was originally intended for a Suzuki 250 with minor modifications to fit this bike.
