I just bought some of fb's covers. I would never buy an OEM side cover again. You're going to pay $80 (with emblems and original paint, great condition) for a 30 year old side cover that may be prone to cracking... I just cracked a perfect condition 78 SS side cover that was on my...

Another question of what I need: What am I missing here in order to install the OEM blink assemblies?

My '78 has arrived. Runs and sounds great. Just needs some carb cleanup. Aesthetically, it needs a bit of everything. Just needs a thorough replacement on most things. But most are simple things. The seat will need to be reapolstered (and I may modify the seat a little bit to accomidate...

Well just two, so not really a bunch. But I went from having zero motorcycles to two CB750s in one week...quite amazing. My '78 gets here tomorrow. However, my dad found something special, and he had me drive somewhere locally and pick this original '79 LTD for him. Had to tow it back because it...

Looks like no one is replying. Let me follow up to stimulate this!: 1) Front OEM Blinker Lights Assemblies (and I was assume that mounting assemblies are needed as well?). I assume the bulbs can be found at any auto store? I'm going to assume eBay is my only option. Many venders are not...

Even though I haven't received my bike yet (but I received my title and key yesterday though), I'd like to get some parts located so I can quickly order them when it arrives so it can be here a week before thanksgiving. Reason being, my father is coming down for Thanksgiving, and it would be...

Yeah. All easy replacements. uShip just showed me a quote of $500, and I screenshot'd it! $500 is the cheapest I've seen so far!

Do you guys know if the handlebars on that bike are stock?

I think it was haulbikes that gave me the best quote I've seen so far: $615. I expect to pay around that, and I expect the bike to get here before Thanksgiving. I'll let you guys know about the shipping details later. Right now, I gotta get him paid first! Thanks for the list of things that I...

<ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh> A nice sign of relief. Called the seller, and mentioned that no where in the description that it says how the bike drives. The seller sounded like he has multiple CB750s, and has sold quite a few. He said aside from it taking a little time to warm up, it drives very smooth...

Thanks guys for the replies. I won the auction today. Now I have to figure out the cheapest (and safest) way to get it shipped here. Any advice? Getting ready to fork out $650 for that. There are plenty of CB750s in the Northwest. A $1700 CB750 around here will definitely need new exhaust and...

Allow me to fill you in on the events of the past 3 weeks. I've have a wanted ad up, and it's been there for more than a week. Two emails came back, both wanting to sell CB750 Hondamatics. My father in WA has also been on the lookout in his state. There was a 1981 CB750 directly in my area for...

Thanks for the replies. What do you guys think about this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1978-Honda-CB750-cb-750-four-original-shape-/251170017016?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item3a7ae64ef8#ht_500wt_948 What's the risk? What are going to be the costs of bringing this back to original shape? I...

I'm in desperate need of a Honda CB750 (or possible even a 550 or a 450). I just received my endorsement, and they are by far, the coolest bikes out there. I even like the look of a CB twin. I've been in plenty of negotiations for people wanting about $2000 for their CB750s, with them also...
