Let's see your CB750

New to me ‘74. All original with what appears to be 2900 miles.

My k5 that was in milk crates when I dug it out of a warehouse. I am the second owner. The first was a submariner on a sturgeon-class sub. ( I think silversides). I call it “Torpedo Juice”. I have extensive records of everything he did to the bike and the receipt from new. It’s got a 4-into-1 pipe that’s from the period and I’ve upgraded the wheels with aluminum rims as the old steel rims were rusty and quite pitted. There are a few other non-standard parts (headlight and headlight ears for example). It had a huge vetter fairing on it when I bought it so that had to go. I’ve had a new head gasket put in it and had the wiring harness replaced with an OEM one (so grateful to find it- the wiring was hacked to put in a stereo and the vetter fairing by the previous owner)
Such a cool machine and sounds so good. It’s been a labor of love.

Here's my '75 CB750F. Bought it in running condition a couple of weeks ago. So far I have just replaced the tires and tubes (which were from 1990), flasher relay, and all of the bulbs in the instrument cluster. I have brake pads and new steel braided lines for the front brake on the way.
It runs pretty great once it is up to operating temperature, and the existing brakes do an okay job at stopping it, although the front squeaks something awful. It's a fun bike to ride, and makes my 2018 Triumph feel like a rocketship lol. I keep trying to shift into a sixth gear that the CB doesn't have.

Very happy with it thus far. The only thing I'm annoyed a bit is that at some random times, the machine decides that it doesnt want to switch gears from N to 1, so I have to either switch to 2nd gear and then to 1st, or keep trying to switch to 1st for about 5-10 times. Nothing unmanagable, but I think it needs to be configured somehow.
 
My project 1992 750. Paid 800 for it not running.last pic is how it looked when I got it.
