Hi, all.
New to the group. My primary bike is an '02 Shadow Sabre. I'd been looking for a project bike for a little while, but everything was too expensive, too junked, etc... Lo and behold, a '78 CB750F pops up on Craigslist last week for a good price.
Runs great, all electric works, mostly original bike. Best of all, it's my birth year bike (always wanted one of those, too.)
As purchased:
Switched out handlebar for "broomstick" style:
Removed tail light, turn signals, and trunk, gave the rusty muffler a shot of high temp black:
New brake light and turn signals. The turns are cheapo $3 marker lights from the auto parts store, but they're kind of growing on me.
Total cost to do all of these initial mods? $20!
