Trying it on with this one
K2-K6:
It's been dropped and smashed the alternator cover too.
There's a significant repair along bottom of cover that looks welded/painted silver.

Has a 750K1 air box.
wrong colour.
Looks like garden hose as oil pipes.
Don't know why it has a bolt in the middle of the caliper.
Wrong exhaust clamps that look as they should be on a old english bike.
Needs a lot of parts that are no longer available and if you find them they will not be cheap, which would be the biggest challenge.
To sum up: Would need a shed load of money spent on it and someone who has a ton of experience with a early UK CB750's so, it needs to be cheap to start with ;)

Cheers Trigger, I'll look out for something a bit simpler! Will be interesting to see if it reaches the guide price of 4 to 6K. I was thinking of bidding up to 3.7K whilst not really expecting to win.

You will need a ton of money to even think of getting one of these up to scratch. To refurbish the clocks can set you back £900 these days, £250 for a alternator cover and if it has the very common chain damaged to the crank case it, can be a costly repair. And parts for these have more than doubled in the last couple of years.
I would like to see it about the £2K mark as, i know you can easy spend £8K restoring one of these and wait for upto 5 years for the correct parts to appear, if they ever do ;)

I will lay odds the bolt in caliper is because somebody never heard of greas to get a piston out and drilled and tapped to use a bolt

That’s a nice 350, needs a tidy but quite fancy. 😜
