My 1979 CB750

The drive from St. Charles to Chicago was pleasant with minor interruptions. Of that which was traffic :(

Here are some views of the bike:










Aside from the mentioned items which need to be fixed up I've got a couple of to dos which I'm making note of here:

Rebuild the fork or just replace fork seals.

All in all the bike came in as Good condition in my opinion. For 30 year well traveled bike it's in great condition!

Items Upon Delivery





As you can see I the original motor which was removed by the previous owner has had some aging issues.

Two known issues which were made known to me were the charging system which started from the core and stator. The core was rusting when I got it. And the stator / cover was removed.











This motor still has a lot of miles to go before it really kicks the can. But I need to figure out how and what I'm going to do as I've currently have a running CB750 motor still going strong.

The core spins freely which indicates that the pistons are not seized.
