CB750K4 New project
Rob62:
So here she is, my new winter project complete with strange trumpet style exhausts which sound quite good but will be getting replaced, big wide USA style bars, engine bars in decent nick may keep them, pattern seat looks brand new with metal base. In remarkable condition for her age 44! One or two bits missing / non std but not too much. Wont be doing a nut & bolt resto, just a clean up and repair, i like a bit of original patina and she will be a tidy rider like my other bikes, not a show winner. Gonna keep me busy for a while i think.... Overall I'm quite happy 😊
Dodgy non standar rear shocks will be getting replaced
Rear mudguard and light assembly almost perfect
Couple of dents in front mudguard which i may be able to smooth out, chrome is sound
One or two marks in the paint...may go for a respray and change of colour ?
Hardly any wear on the front disk, no ridges....
Hornets nest under the rear light assembly,,, fortunately the occupants were long gone.

Love the hornets, you may find them in your headlight bowl ;)

Nice find ...That Asahi Denso filler cap is worth a lot of money. The plastic lens always yellows but there is a clock glass on eBay that costs peanuts and fits perfectly bonded in with semi-flex ultra clear epoxy. Mine sold within 1 hour on Ebay for £100 to a guy in Japan. I found two dried up Idaho wasps inside the crankcases of my '69 CB350.

Found a gold and diamond ring in the bottom of a CB550F1 air box that came from the states. Strange what you find on and in old bikes.
