First of all, good morning and happy Friday.
I was looking at SOHC CB750s (with excellent support from the SOHC guys here) but nothing came together when I came across a well cared for 1980 CB750 Super Sport locally. It has been stored (inside) since 2007 so it is going to need some recommissioning after sitting. It was adult owned and ridden and was in good running condition with parted due to health (prior owner was 70 when he last road it). I am super excited to get her back on the road but was hoping for some coaching on doing this right.
Parts sourcing - is there a go to that you would recommend for service items such as brake and clutch lines etc?
Serving prior to riding - obviously I need to change her fluids and I am assuming brake lines and tires? The electrical system came up with a fresh battery but I didn't try to turn it over. The shocks feel OK and the seals aren't leaking. Brakes appear to work. Fuel tank is dry and rust free. I am assuming the carbs need to come off and any old fuel / gunk taken care of. Any do/don't I should be thinking about here?
Thanks in advance for the help.
