CB 750 engines
« on: September 08, 2014, 01:09:05 PM »
Any tips for price of 2 750 engines,yes i know how good are they.
one has run the cam the other is allegedly very good.
no bent/broken fins etc
set of carbs and carb carrier etc.
Thought after the fun of doing the last project thought about a long term project
and these could be a start. (if i can get them cheap enough)

I bought a spare for £150 last year, I was promised its good but haven't rum or inspected it yet, for a proven running low mileage example £500?.

Always try to knock the seller down a bit, but it sounds a good price, be even better if you could get them for £250!>:D>:D

Just need a rolling chassis now.
Found this one at Netley Marsh on Saturday.
Although only on the road for 6 years stood outside for years ,even the mudguards and starter motor
cover have rusted through. Called him today he still has it just need to wait and see if i get it.
What do you think its value is?

If it's as bad as you say for rust, barely above it's weight as scrap metal!  :o

Frame (v5) is sound, seat was kept under the bed so ok
so probably wheel hubs ,yokes, horn,tank has bad internal rust so may or maybe not salvageable.
oil tank stands ok,engine is scrap hence the 2 earlier in this thread.
 He said someone had offered £1000 i told him to bite his hand off,as of today it hadn't materialized.
