I'd say 3600 is about what its worth if it was ride able. Now the key is figuring out how much it will take to get running. It may just need the carbs cleaned, or it could need a full rebuild. It was probably parked for a reason. I wouldn't pay more then 2800 for it. Even if it needs a...

Part it out, and buy a complete bike. In the long run you're gonna spend more money buying everything it needs. These bikes are CHEAP and it'll have the keys and title to boot! I just had one offered to me at $1500 that needed nothing.

I'm constantly adjusting my idle. As the engine warms, and the oil warms, I slowly turn the idle down when I'm at red lights. It always requires 1/8 to 1/4 turn up when I'm cold starting it.

X2 on the advice to start with original spec jet recommendations!

I use the cheapest oil I can find on my 72 CB750, and here's my logic behind it.... Think about what kind of oil was being produced in the 70's back when these bikes were produced. Even the cheapest oils these days are miles ahead of those grades of oil from the 70's and 80's. I think the...

Yep! I lived in a log cabin, on a river, in Montana, with no cell service, inbetween Bozeman, MT and West Yellowstone, MT.

I have a 1969 CL350 along with my 72 CB750. I still have the original red and white paint on my cl350, with only 7k miles on it.

I'm new to Chicago and this is my first summer here. I've been riding around the city alot and was wondering if there are any other CB750 riders out there in Chitown? I see a shit ton of bike riding around, but I havent seen a cb750's yet. I had a great time out riding around in the 83 degree...

I wouldn't stress over the idle until you get a good sync on the carbs. My bike idles happily at 1200, and i rarely go below that.

I've had this bike 3 years, and it's been a blast to work on, and ride! This was taken 5 minutes from my house.

Love this bike! I'm so jealous of your exhaust, and paint. Is the paint original?

What did that lift cost you? I'd love to have something like that! Nice bike too! What bike is in your first post? Old cb or cl?

Hell yeah man, glad it worked out for ya!

Whats the price for the package? Gotta have a listed price per the forum rules.
