Project Board / finally finished
« on: August 05, 2019, 01:54:02 AM »
well after 6 years on and off i think the cb750f2 is finally finished, originally i just did enough to get the bike back on the road and a reasonable tart up but now i think i have a bike i can be proud of.
engine - all gaskets, o rings, cam chain and guides all replaced, carbs cleaned and balanced, frame powder coated along with many other parts, new front mudguard and handlebars. just waiting on the back rack to come back from being rechromed. thanks to all who have given advice and helped out with parts over the years. i'll get some more detailed pics up shortly.

CB750 / whats it worth
« on: February 21, 2014, 12:55:30 AM »
i have a 1977f1 23k on clock all the mechanics , electrics, forks rechromed, brakes have all been done passed an MOT in december unridden since then, it also has new battery, new rear suspension and about £300 of spares to fit including new tyres,inertubes , wheel tape, mirrors, levers and rubbers+++++.
on the minus side all bright work needs doing and the wheels, tank has rust spots, frame and engine need a coat of paint( paint included in spares).
i have been told by my doctor i shouldnt ride as my back wont hold weight so am wanting to sell or part ex for a trike but have no idea of the current market value. there is a photo posted but could add more.

half way through restoration and i'm trying to find a 4 into 1 tailpipe the one i have is very bad nick and a new one would really lift it, it might be a modified system as all i can find is 4:2 for the 77 f1 also after front mudgaurd and handlebars.
