Trying to be precise as possible both bikes need work to be road worthy, only major issues is wiring harness. Feel free to ask questions. I took the fairing with the headlight of one bike to assist in telling them apart have everything for both bikes. The one with no headlight was running last month Wiring harness is still in tact but has burnt spots on it from a short, the other has had ALL FLUIDS DRAINED from shipping and has not even been attempted to start in about 2 years, I have been unable to upload photos will try again or email me with your email address and I'll send pics. Here is a video on you tube http://youtu.be/hfCXjLJok9o of bike running just last month. I have 2 1977 Hondamatics for restoration or parts, One I have a video of running in the beginning of May before the wiring Harness got melted from someone trying to jump it off, the other I was told was running it also has wiring harness issues don't know anything else about it. I have a total of 3 Great and fun bikes to just ride, Keeping only one so these to have to go. Have titles for both. In 1976, Honda introduced the CB750A to the United States, the A suffix implying "automatic." Although the two-speed transmission included a torque converter typical of an automatic transmission, the transmission did not automatically change gears for the rider. Each gear was selected by a foot-controlled hydraulic valve/selector (similar in operation as a manual transmission motorcycle).The foot selector controlled the application of high pressure oil to a single clutch pack (one clutch for each gear), causing the selected clutch (and gear) to engage. The selected gear would remain selected until changed by the rider, or the kickstand was lowered (which shifted the transmission to neutral). The CB750A was sold in the North American market only. The name Hondamatic was shared with Honda cars of the 1970s, but the motorcycle transmission was not fully automatic. The design of the transmission is similar in concept to the transmission in Honda's N360AT,a kei car sold in Japan from 1967 to 1972. The CB750A used the same engine as the CB750, but detuned with lower 7.7:1 compression and smaller carburetors producing a lower output, 47.0 hp (35.0 kW). The same oil was used for both the engine and transmission, and the engine was changed to a wet sump instead of dry sump type. A lockout safety device prevented the transmission from moving out of neutral if the side stand was down. There was no tachometer but the instruments did include a fuel gauge and gear indicator. For 1977 the gearing was revised, and the exhaust changed to a four into two with a silencer on either side.
