Does look good from the photos, is it a reasonable price tag?

Lovely looking restoration.  The coils are aftermarket and are a bit shorter then the originals, I had to make a spacer for mine to make them fit (see photo).
The price asked is unlikely to get the seller his money back on what it cost in parts and services to restore , my own resto is up at 6k and my time is 'free'. I will post some photos of the completed bike as soon as I've managed to balance the carbs, they are proving to be a nightmare to tune properly >:(

Very nice to see the engine/carburettor detail with the tank off, a credit to the engine builder. Not sure about the loom 'sorted'?

Very nice but not sure the seat isn't pattern by the buckle on it and  no '377' marking on the pan,  that I can see anyway . I think for that kind of money I would also want non-scripted DID rims, sprocket  guard fitted  and proper Showa shocks plus of course metal plug caps. He doesn't say if exhaust system is genuine or not either, which you would expect it to be for that kind of money. But hey-ho I might be out of touch with prices ... James is always telling me I am. Having said that I notice Frank has reduced his Genuine UK early CB750K0 to a price I think is much nearer the mark but still slightly overpriced  (it was £20k for ages). £7k is still a hell of a reduction though.
