Hello from east Texas. I got my '74 CB750-K four years ago from a guy who had done a partial restore on the bike after being stored in a barn for 18 years. He replaced most of the missing part, replaced seals and gasket that were easy to get to and made some electrical wiring repairs. The bike was not cosmetically appealing to me, but was a nice canvas to work from.
The bike starts and runs perfect. I like riding the bike and talking to folks about ol' Hondas. The discussions start with, "my first bike was just like this one, or my neighbor had a bike like this when I was growing up".
The paint is not original. It's now candy tangerine, the tank strips are painted not decals and '72 style strips not '74. The exhaust is 4 into 2 and need to be re-chromed. The turn signals are from a '76. The wheels are Lester and period correct.
Glad I found this forum. Hope I can contribute in some way.
Later, Bud...
