THE CB750 IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATEST MOTORCYCLES MADE . VOTED MOTORCYCLE OF THE CENTURY BY MOTORCYCLIST MAGAZINE SEPT 2012.I HAVE OWNED CB750S SINCE THE 70'S.I WORKED AT HONDA CYCLE DEALER AS A LEAD MECHANIC IN 70'S.NOW I ENJOY FINDING,RESTORING AND RIDING THESE WONDERFUL MOTORCYCLES. I FOUND THIS 750 2 YEARS AGO.IT WAS AN ORIGINAL MACHINE WITH ONLY 6915 MILES.IT WAS STORED UNUSED IN A WOODEN SHED FOR 15 YEARS . I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE FROM THE DAY I BROUGHT HER HOME CHECK OUT THE HIGH HANDLEBARS AND SISSY BAR. BEFORE I BEGIN A RESTORATION I LIKE TO SEE HOW THE BIKE RUNS . I REBUILT THE CARBS INSTALLED FRESH GAS AND OIL IT STARTED ON THE 3RD KICK (I WAS NOT SURPRISED ITS A CB750) AFTER RUNNING AWHILE IT HAD AN OIL LEAK AT THE HEAD GASKET O RING AREA.SATISFIED I PROCEDED WITH THE RESTORATION.I REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET AND ALL TOP END SEALS.I WAS AMAZED HOW CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE WAS. I POLISHED AND CLEAR COATED THE ENGINE COVERS THEN REPAINTED THE ENGINE.THE FRAME WAS CLEANED INSPECTED AND REPAINTED . DUE TO SURFACE RUST FROM SITTING I REPLACED THE RIMS AND SPOKES WITH NEW .I POLISHED AND CLEAR COATED THE HUBS .NEW TIRES AND TUBES INSTALLED.THE FRONT FORKS WHERE CLEANED AND POLISHED NEW SEALS INSTALLED. STEERING NECK ROLLER BEARINGS INSTALLED .FRONT DISC BRAKE SYSTEM OVERHAULED THE MASTER CYLINDER REBUILT. CALIPER PISTON AND SEAL REPLACED.

THE ORIGINAL EXHAUST IS SOLID WITH NO DENTS .T0 MAKE THE BIKE A SHOW PIECE YOU WOULD NEED TO RECHROME THE EXHAUST THE CHROME HAS DULLED ON SOME INNER SPOTS DUE TO AGE AND MINOR SURFACE RUST WHICH HAS BEEN REMOVED.
