Bearing that in mind, imagine you want to build a cheap chopper, have a CB750 hardtail frame bought cheap (probably from someone on here ;D) and you need an engine, wheel hubs, brakes + M/C, a few bits n' pieces like engine brackets/bolts, solenoid, yokes, coils, maybe even salvage the exhaust downpipes.........

It starts to look like £100 worth of bits all of a sudden.

I saw a CB750 chop at the NABD rally a couple of years ago, the only Honda part was the engine. Closer inspection revealed that is was a sandcast! I couldn’t help but wonder if the owner new, and if not how much he’d take for it. Sadly he was never around, probably sick and tired of being pestered by chancers like me.

So this bike is the perfect purchase, its at £11, get the engine running, sell the sandcast engine and he's £££ up.

Heres another one to think about, if the seller had removed the engine, powerwashed it off and put it on ebay for £50 start price he'd have got that easy, and folk probably bid it up more. I don't see a horrendously corroded poor old bike, I see potential in parts.

And how easy would it be to take the engine out - just tap the frame near the engine mounts with a hammer and it would fall to the floor!
