Simon46 1978 CB750K American project
Seabeowner:
I've done two 550 imports that were sort of running and sort of complete. One had 20k and one 30k and had a life of riley in the thin air of the USA. I spent about 1.2 times what the bikes cost me just to get them satisfactory and on the road.
You've got the tank and I presume the side panels, so maybe not much to search for from the look of it.
Good luck Simon

Tank is in dixon radiator repairs at the moment. Hopefully it comes out intact. Budget on this is 500. 170 already spent. My dt 175mx build took 2200 out my pocket. My 87 XT600 stands at 200 quid. Both on road. No stranger to basket cases!

Cracks in rubber.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a front brake hose. Is non period braided a no no? Switch is in handlebar so one piece hose from master to slave.
Also need tyres front and back. What would you recommend?

It's your bike, and unless you're planning a museum quality restoration, which with your budget I'm assuming not, by all means use modern braided brake hoses. If you're worried they may look too modern, you can buy them with black (or about 10 other colours!) plastic sheathing over the top of the braiding, so it would look like standard hose until you got close up to it.
