It will be interesting to see what these bring- they are a bit rougher than the last couple of creampuffs that were sold.

jim,

Thanks, Wayne

I will contact my ins. co. and question them about appraisals.
My dealings with ins. claims have not always been great, if you know what I mean.
No offense meant to any insurance agents on here.

General Discussion / Insurance ?
« on: May 23, 2010, 08:41:39 am »
Does anyone have any advice on getting the proper insurance coverage in case of theft , fire etc. ?
I can imagine a company not wanting to pay full  value , because that old bike can't be worth much.
Should a person document some recent sales as proof of value?

                                                                                             thanks, Jim

I finally got the throttle cable that I had motion-pro custom make installed and the carbs rebuilt, but hate to put gas in and gum it up again. The air box was busted up so I got one on E-bay off a '71 cheap, yes I know it's not correct as the top is grooved, but fits and is in good condition. This bike is pretty much original except for the exhaust and I've been reading about getting the lotus root made, but find it hard to justify the $$$ I think the pipes might be worth more than the bike?

I also need the right hand mirror if anyone has extra.

This is good.

You guys are a great sourse of info. makes it much easier to keep these bikes running or preserved. I had about given up on getting a small cable. Don't ask what happened to the original cable- think slides stuck in carbs. I guess education comes with a price.
later, jimwho

Thanks for the welcome guys,

I did get a cable from Honda, but it was too big for the carb tops . So I will try to get the smaller size somewhere.

Hi I read about this site in the AMA mag. I've got a CB750 that my brother bought in 1970-2nd owner. He was in Viet Nam so I rode it more than he did. The frame no. is 1001742 motor no.CB750E 1001627 . Anyhow I still have it and it needs a throttle cable and bowl gaskets. Where is a good place to get parts because no luck from Honda ?
The bike is all original except for a 4 into 2 header. I have ridden it every year but last year when the cable broke.
