It's been a while that I have visited this forum, and I now see what an awsome result of the restoration job you've done! This is probably the best CB750 restoration I have ever seen!
Thanks for sharing all the details.

Hi Marcel,
Nice job on the bike. Well done
Is that an electric car in the last photo?

Thank you!

That is an electric BMW i3, indeed. The opposite of the K0, but I love both!

I ordered the license plate this weekend, but it takes too long, I can't wait. So I printed one from my computer, glued it on a card board and did the first short roadtrip since 1985. It's so exciting to drive this bike! My smile was bigger than my head. So smooth! It's incredible that this bike has a mileage of only 5,000 miles. I love this bike!

My VIN is 104008**

Is your K0 originally from Holland/Germany? I thought that these turn lights are delivered in Holland and Germany only

The Dutch type-approval authority, RDW, approved this bike without any remark, for a Dutch title. The people there loved this bike, too! When a bike comes from outside the EU, the test is much more than just a paper work examination. All technical parts were tested. They test it according the rules from the date of first use, in this case 1970.
I am now waiting for the paper work in order to make a license plate. I will get a vintage title. In 1970, the bikes had a blue license plate.

I used this spring hook. I had to wear a thick glove to protect my fingers. It's not a easy job though

Marcel, great to hear on vinegar and wonderful pictures.  I've heard a number of good reports on vinegar on the AMCA and CAIMAG discussion boards. 

your pictures of the results are very appreciated.

also heard molasses works well.  never tried vinegar or molasses.  but SEEING your experience will get me to try vinegar.

i have been using a product called "Metal Rescue," not an acid product, which works very well but is $25/gallon.  Vinegar is inexpensive !!

after using rust remover, i put 50 8mm bolts in my tanks, rotate then in clothes dryer for 50 minutes and beautiful raw steel is exposed.

Great report and pics using fiber optic scope ?

I paid .52 euros per liter, so that's cheap indeed.
I recommend to cover the outside of the tank (if it'has a good paint) with plastic. Vinegar can damage the paint.

How did you get a picture inside the tank ? Neat!

With my iPhone 5S  ;D
The flash light is located just next to the lens, so you can put the phone in the filler hole and take the pics.

I have removed the rust with vinegar.
First, I cleaned the tank with water based degreaser and nuts, moved it for a few minutes.
Second, I filled the tank full with vinegar for 24 hrs.
Third, I cleaned the tank again with water based degreaser and nuts, moved it for a few minutes.

The result is perfect.

Adjusted the ignition, synced the carbs:

And did the first ride after 28 years! Just a short ride in the street as this bike still has its US title and not a Dutch title and is not insured.
