I am on the trail of a 1975 CB that has 3000 original miles on it and hasn’t been started in 41 years. I have not yet seen the bike but expect it to be neglected and not abused. It is the original owner and I believe the owner to be honest. Although I have ridden for 43 years, I am brand new at the resto game.
I am comfortable assessing the bike visually but need help beyond that.....so...two questions.
1. What should I look for before making an offer...what tests could I easily perform?
2. If I buy, what likely challenges lie ahead?
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
good luck
#1 must have a clear tittle
#2 Check for compression

#3 Gas tank - a lot of them were put away with the gas - that caused internal rusting (might need a new tank)

after that it could be anything
