Just noticed. The bike has Red Turn Signals (winkers) on the rear. I have read about them but first I have seen them I think.

Some states DOT required red lenses.

Also ther is a tire decal under the seat and there is a head neck label.

Not in the VIN registry either.  Lots of time left on this one and a lot of bids.  Too bad this one didn't come along before the last one I bought.  This one is better and would have been tempting.  It looks like it wouldn't take too much to have a nice one.  And its only a few hours from me.  Oh well, I've already got too much invested in the ones I have.   Anyone want to venture a guess on selling price.  I'll go high 20's.

I'm thinking mid 20's Mark. I don't think it will break 25 K.

The steering head label is standard fitment on US machines. The tyre label is unusual. Very nice example and would be the perfect bike to clean up and leave as is.

Mark, with your previous good call, not sure I want to go there but oh well. Hmmmmm! Say $18k

We need to get a pool going........ !  it's just so difficult to predict ebay results, no way of knowing the number and quality of bidders........

Did I miss it at first or did they just add the Buy Now at 17,500.00 ?

[markb]

They must have added it, I didn't see it either. Looks like I got a little carried away on my guess.   Compared to the last one, lower number so into the left-hand horn frame, 2-hole airbox, more early bids, I thought it would go more.  After taking a closer look at the pictures though it's not nearly as clean as I thought.  So kp you're right there!

[Steve Swan]

A "buy it now" will separate the "men from the boys" so to speak.  My guess was $18k, but KP beat me to it.

[kp]

I'm a sharing caring type of member . Swannie, I'll let you have the $18k I'll amend my guesstimate to $17,5K  KP

[Riccardo]

I think not was a good idea add the BUY IT NOW at 17,5k.

This was the death of the auction.

[markb]

I agree.  There hasn't been many bids since then.

Re:  tire and air pressure adhesive labels

Just rummaging through my Factory Service Bulletins...........   

Factory Dealer Service Bulletin, dated January 19, 1970 (no SB number) states -

"American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is providing an adhesive label to remind CB-750 owners of pertinent tire information.  Along with this letter, we are sending one label for each unit you have purchased.  We suggest for those units already in use, the label is attached to the Service History Card.  When the motorcycle is brought in for service, attach as shown below:"  (then shown is a picture of label and where to adhese label) 

The SB goes on to say, "The label should be attached to the rear fender approximately 40mm behind the rear edge of the seat."  A couple sentences later, the SB goes on to read, "CB-750's manufactured after Frame Number 1013459 will have the label applied before delivery."
