Well its all together and running great, decided to keep it all original and ride it as is. What i had to do to get it to this point, rebuild the carbs, all new rubber everywhere, throttle cable, re-foamed the seat, k&n air filter and battery. and that's about it i put about $1800 into it so with the original $500 cost of the bike $2300 total...think i came out OK on this one....Jim  

looking into having my rims rechromed, getting prices of $300.00 per rim, seams like alot or have chroming prices gone up that much since i last had items chromed maybe 15 years ago. maybe just better off buying new rims? does this price seam correct.   thanks Jim

after buying you basic aftermarket paper mesh air filter on e-bay only to find that's its to high to fit into my stock airbox, leaving around a 1/4" gap, so much so that the bolts won't even start. i measured the height and came up with 2.975 so i ordered the K&N which stated that it was 2.750 high a difference of .225 so i received it yesterday and it fits fine with just a slight gap, so bottom line any filter higher than 2.750 will not fit into a 69-70 airbox....i also turned up 2 stand offs and tapped them for 6mm and installed them onto the  airbox bolts now i can fully tighten up the bolts without putting unwanted pressure on the plastic...jim

Hello all, first i have to say i found your site very useful as to finding what i bought.   My story goes, as a young boy ( age 8 ) my neighbor bought a new motorcycle and i walk by it almost every day in the nice weather in the early 1970's always stopping to stare at this  big red motorcycle.  Fast forward 40 years and i run into my neighbor at a block party and ask what he ever did with the old Honda, he states that he still has it but has not ridden it for over 25 years. I ask if he would ever think of selling it and to my surprise he said yes, so we take a short walk over to his garage and there it sits in the rear all covered up with junk. It looked a bit rough not the brand new machine i remember but all there. long story short i offer him $500.00 (he later tells me he would have took $300) next thing me and my friend are pushing it around the block and into my garage. now to find out more about what i just bought and did i pay too much, my friend said i was nuts. it turns out not to be a sand cast but an original bone stock 1970 CB750 with 17,000 miles, engine # 1015703 and the frame tag reads 1015444  12/69 some of the early parts include a double cut front fender a no # stamped exhaust and 4 dimple wrinkle tank. I own other old bikes but this is my first Honda so i am sure you will me hearing from me again....thanks Jim
