For those interested, I picked up a K2 Cb750 (1972) a few months ago for $250 and a parts bike and about 6-7 boxes of parts for $260. And decided to do a semi restore, meaning tear it all the way down except the running engine, powdercoat, clean and polish a little but for as little cost as possible and make a nice clean daily rider. I found 6 sandcast parts in my parts boxes i bought which paid for the parts and the bike. Im currently re-doing my tank paint and stripe job, it has a tach and speedo on it now. and i have to pull the engine as i have a small oil leak. But will be back up and running in no time. Before pic  After pic:  Tearing it down with my Master Mechanic/Daughter  frame  powder coat  Wheel tear down and relace new spokes, new bearings    Goin back together   Ahh new tires   Gotta love wiring   thanks for looking, not sure if ill sell it or not, im leaning on keeping it a season. |

Hi there, Chris Kampe in Greencastle did this paint job on my 73 CB750 with authentic Honda paint. The black stripe is painted on with silver trim paint. He did an excellent job and I would like to recommend him for any painting....Dan  |

I've got a crusty 4 into 1 that was on my 74 if you want it. Its solid but the chrome has flaked off. I'm sure it could be re-coated.
I'm tired of tripping over it.

Had to pull the engine out for an oil leak. Head gasket. I suppose i should do all the gaskets while the engine is out :/
On the plus side , i have 3 more 1974 cb750's ready for restore. Will have a busy summer/fall. Maybe even a winter project!!
