Where is the bike located

I am selling my 78 CB750K $2200 if anyone is interested in the SF Bay Area or knows someone who might be Link to Craigslist: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2138062579.html Thanks!!

No, I didnt get everything off of the frame, i scraped it for a while, and wire brushed it, but i think im just gonna take it somewhere to have it hot tanked for a few bucks cause i just dont want to put in the hours of labor just cleaning it. I really dont want to pull the motor apart, but I...

So I sit for hours in the garage trying to clean up the frame and everything else so I can send them out finally, and to look at the pictures it looks like I didnt do anything, but i promise i cleaned for hours, there is like clay stuck to the lower portions of the frame that will not come off...

I like that tank a lot!! what is it from? is it a direct fit? if so then I can just try and restore tha tank I have and then It should sell pretty well too so, ya let me know what it is and how easy it will fit and I could really get into that! Thanks!

Asama...hmm...not bad i will run that one by the gf, though I think she may want something a little more girly, I like it though... Sooo, I have been searching the ebay for kneepads or a complete tank and have found nothing so far, i am pretty sure I can get the tiny dents out of the chrome...

Well thanks I appreciate the advice, and if it's that simple then I may as well, in hindsight I kinda wish I had gotten it running first but, oh well, I'll start diggin into that tonight then. After the gf gets off work we're gonna go out to the garage and kick around the color scheme idea's...

well the motor only has 2500 miles on it so I'm hoping for the best, and if I need to completely tear the motor down for gaskets and seals then I will probably take it down to Lossa for that, but I will try to do as much as I can for myself to cut cost down. But since I have never dealt with a...

ooh, that makes more sense then, and no I do not plan to rebuild the motor, in fact I'd like to do as little motor work as possible probably just a gasket kit for good measure and pretty it up a bit and call it a day. I'm not a fan of manual labor so polishing is pretty much out, a little...

dude that sucks :/ im sorry to hear it.....ya with a motor like this that I think will be difficult to replace parts on I think I'm just gonna go with trying some degreaser and cleaning it as best as i can at home before I opt for blasting it....btw, if I do get some soda in any of the ports or...

K here we go with the new pics Lots of disorganized parts cause I forgot to pick up some ziplock bags thinking I had some at home :/ oh well almost all the way there, tank and seat just resting so the gf could see it, i got a little overzealous before she ever even saw it Motor out getting...

Ok, so, done with Day 2 in the garage, my roommate usually works nights and his parking spot is the one right in front of the garage so I can never get in there unless he is at work and for the last couple days he's been home, luckily today I got home before he got home from school and was able...

Re: "St. Valentine" - 67 Yamaha YSC1 So perfect, thanks! that'll save me three hundred bucks on a davida helmet!

Re: "St. Valentine" - 67 Yamaha YSC1 So today as soon as I can get off work and get home, I am gonna start getting into the motor as far as cleaning and painting (I will be painting this myself) the plan is to do the cylinders black and the rest of it silver, so here is where im gonna need some...

Re: "St. Valentine" - 67 Yamaha YSC1 ya no problem I'll check it out, its a super cool tank I'm kinda jealous cause i think at the end of the day hers will look nicer than mine its definitely getting a more thorough build (and for much less money). But I gotta tell you though, if youre...
