Vehicle Description

RELISTED WITH LOWER PRICE - WANT TO SELL BEFORE WINTER

Hello... Up for auction is a fantastic bike that i will probably regret selling. As you can see from the description, its a 1973 Honda CB 750 Four Cylinder (K3). I bought the bike about a year and a half ago from the 3rd owner. The guy i bought it from knew both of the other 2 previous owners and was able to tell me the background.

Original owner bought it from Honda and immediately replaced the stock seat with a King/Queen seat and added a windshield. Lucky for me, the guy kept the original seat in plastic and the guy i bought it from put the original seat back on. He also made a couple other changes like adding the oil pressure guage on the side of the engine and replacing the original rusted exhaust with straight pipes. (sounds fantastic)

When i took ownership, i started customizing and getting it up to date mechanically. Below is a list of all the work that i have had done in the last year:

First the big one... had a Honda mechanic replace all the gaskets in the upper half of the engine. Head gasket, valve cover gasket, etc...
Carbs have been cleaned, rebuilt and synched
Valves have been timed
Gas tank has been lined
New OEM petcock fuel valve
Clutch has been rebuilt with OEM Honda parts, OEM clutch cable is new also
Brakes have been serviced and checked out
Original air box replaced with pod filter, carbs were re-jetted at this time with 120's, i also have the original air box with a new K&N filter
Rear fender has been removed and replaced with a fender eliminator kit and LED rear light. Looks great on the bike. Turn signals were flush mounted and look better this way
New EMGO rear shocks have been added to replace the originals that were pretty useless. I still have them though
Low (super) bars have been added to give it more of the cafe racer look. Note- these are not "clubman" bars because i found them to be uncomfortable
Added a headlight visor to front light
Original chain has been replaced with an o-ring chain
New battery added last summer

Some additional details about the bike:

Original paint on the gas tank (pretty sure side covers are repro)
I have the original tool kit and original manual from Honda
I also have 3 additional manuals, including the official Honda service manual which is amazing
Tires have plenty of tread on them
Electric ignition and kick start both work great
All lights, guages and electronics function perfectly

This is your chance to own a vintage bike that is already in riding condition. I want to be clear that its 36 years old and it has some dings or surface rust in places, but nothing too serious. If you want any clarification on anything, just ask.

Buyer is responsible for a $100 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of the auction ending. Buyer is also responsible for pick up or delivery arrangements. I will not deliver, unless you live in the Northern KY or Cincinnati area. If you are close to that area, maybe we can meet half way. Just ask before bidding. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Please wait

Questions and answers about this item


	Q: great restore!! Two questions about the pod filters: * did you have to alter the carbs? * did it provide noticable power increase? A: yes... carbs had to be re-jetted and synched based on the increased air flow from the pod filters. I would have to say that i do notice more "get-up-and-go" since switching to the pod filters.

	Q: Do you still have all the orginal parts ? such as the rear fender and ts stems A: Hi, thanks for asking. I still have many of the original parts and they would be included with the auction. I do not have the rear fender and i am not sure what you mean by TS stems, but i do have: - rear tail light -... Continue reading	Nov 02, 2009
