The price asked is unlikely to get the seller his money back on what it cost in parts and services to restore , my own resto is up at 6k and my time is 'free'. I will post some photos of the completed bike as soon as I've managed to balance the carbs, they are proving to be a nightmare to tune properly >:(

Why would you miss the black caps off the air screws when you have gone to that much trouble :o

I think for that kind of money I would also want non-scripted DID rims, sprocket guard fitted and proper Showa shocks plus of course metal plug caps. He doesn't say if exhaust system is genuine or not either, which you would expect it to be for that kind of money. But hey-ho I might be out of touch with prices ... James is always telling me I am. Having said that I notice Frank has reduced his Genuine UK early CB750K0 to a price I think is much nearer the mark but still slightly overpriced (it was Â£20k for ages). Â£7k is still a hell of a reduction though.
