I have a 73 CB750 that has been my ongoing cafe racer project. Titled as a 74, but I decoded the VIN and it's a 73 (reconstructed title, so probably just a goof with the DMV). I rewired and thinned out the electrical for a more minimalist setup, newer style DOHC model regulator/rectifier and no electrical on bars (just starter and key switches under tank and hi/lo switch on back of headlight, no signals or horn). 4 into one custom exhaust, rebuilt and rejetted carbs with pods, new bars, grips, clutch lever and cable, tail light, bar end mirrors, new custom seat (built to remove easily with a single 12mm nut on underside), cleaned out tank, new fuel valve, rebuilt caliper, new front brakes, headlight brackets, fork dust seals, master cyl, brake lines, front wheel bearings. Custom mesh cover over electrical. Front forks have been rebuilt with new oil seals and lowered internally (the correct way). As stated above, it has been down before. The motor has a few cooling fins snapped off. It looked to me like the kick-starter hit them since it was set up wrong (you can partially see them in the right side image of the bike). Mileage unknown, has an aftermarket compact speedo on it. I'd guess mileage is in the 25K area but these things run to 100K with regular maintenance. Carbs could probably be tuned better (as always), but it's running super strong right now and is a blast to ride. I just got it to daily drivable shape. Clear MT title in hand. It's still an ongoing project but it is now in daily drivable shape. Things it needs (in my opinion): Tank paint (I was gonna flat black it) and a small dent repaired if you want. Paint is fine now, but that's just what I was going to do. Wheels need to be polished or blacked out (currently rust on rims and spokes but I was able to polish a section of each wheel easily). Tires (have good tread, but are old and harder) Just started to drip some oil near kickstand. Possibly countershaft seal, but auto chain oiler is more likely. Both are fairly simple fixes. It is not a fast leak, a few drips after each ride. It's such a fun bike and project, but I have a hot rod project now and am trying to clear the garage. Thanks for looking. Although this bike is in good running condition with no issues known other than the ones I have mentioned, it is 42 years old and is modified. Due to the nature of pre-owned vehicles, this vehicle is sold as is without warranty. Inspections are welcome by appointment.
