1970 HONDA CB750 K0, DATE OF MFG 12/69, FRAME # 1017330, ENGINE #1017361 THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BEEN DOING RESTORATION WORK ON THIS ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AGO AND ONLY RODE IT A SHORT TIME BEFORE HE BECAME ILL AND HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE, I AQUIRED IT RECENTLY. THE ENGINE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT AND NEW SEALS, HAS NO LEAKS. PAINTED,NEW MAIN WIRING HARNESS, FRONT AND REAR BRAKES, REBUILT FRONT MASTER CYLINDER,(CLEAN CLEAR BRAKE FLUID) FILTERS, PLUGS AND POINTS, CARBS REBUILT( I BELIEVE THESE ARE LATE 70 OR 71 PUSH-PULL CARBS) AND HAS NEW DUNLOP ELITE II TIRES FRONT & REAR( THE SMALL RUBBER MOULDING TIBS ARE STILL VISIBLE) I ADDED GAS TO THE TANK AND IT FIRED-UP AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF CRANKING, RAN WELL AND DROVE IT A SEVERAL BLOCKS, RODE NICE AND SHIFTED THROUGH ALL THE GEARS NICELY, NO SMOKE OR NOISE, BUT THINK I SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE CARB BOWLS AS IT STARTED TO SPUTTER, DIED WHEN STOPPED, POWERED RIGHT-UP WHEN CHOKING A LITTLE, BUT NEEDED TO BE CHOKED, SO MAY NEED A LITTLE CARB WORK. IF I HAVE TIME I WILL DRAIN THE FLOAT BOWLS SEE IF IT CORRECTS THAT, BESIDES IT'S LIKELY THE YOU WILL WANT TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE ORIGINAL TYPE SINGLE CABLE CARBS. LIKE MOST PERFORMANCE BIKES IT HAD BEEN ON IT'S SIDE SOMETIME IN IT'S LIFE EVIDENT BY THE CRACKED TACH LENS(BOTH GAUGES WORK GREAT AND THE DIAL FACES ARE EXCELLENT) ALSO THE RIGHT UPPER EXHAUST PIPE WAS REPLACED WITH A HM341 AND HAS HAD A COUPLE SMALL HOLES REPAIRED, THE OTHERS ARE ORIGINAL HM300 AND ARE VERY NICE AND NO RUST, BUT ARE MISSING THE BAFFLES. THE FRONT FENDER HAS BEEN CUT DOWN. THERE IS NO SIGN OF ANY FRAME DAMAGE OR WELDS, NICE AND STRAIGHT. ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP ALTHOUGH NOT A SANDCAST, IT IS A LATE 69 BUILD WITH MANY EARLY PARTS LIKE THE WRINKLED TANK AND WRINKLE PAN DUCKBILL SEAT, SEVERAL OF THE OTHER PARTS HAVE ROUGH SURFACE CASTING AND MAYBE SANDCAST SUCH AS THE CYLINDERHEAD. THIS IS A VERY NICE EARLY EXAMPLE, RIDE OR RESTORE. PICK-UP LOCATION WALKERTON INDIANA 46574, ABOUT 90 MINUTES EAST OF CHICAGO OR 2 HRS.
