'72 CB750 bits and assorted others

[Killman77]

This is the bike as it sits in beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada. A lot of this stuff isn't stock, your guess is at least as good as mine, but I'm happy to help identify bits if I can. I'm looking to trade/sell the tank, exhaust, seat, shocks, handlebars, upper triple, chain guard, side covers (such as they are) with badges, fenders, side stand, gauge cluster, lights (such as they are), mirror, side stand and maybe some other stuff. Looking to replace all of the above and maybe more. Let me know what you've got or make me an offer. I am not emotionally attached.

I'm interest d in the side covers with the emblems. Also the front fender. Any plans for the wheels or chrome stator? I'd like to see better pics of that stuff. Email me at wmelliottjr@yahoo.com

I wasn't expecting such fast responses. I have this stuff listed on a few places and it's getting some quick attention. I'll try to keep it current. The fenders and gauge cluster are conditionally spoken for, the condition being that I get some money out of the deals, if any of them fall through I'll update.

So far I'm planning on keeping the wheels and respoking them, looking to hold onto the stator cover for now as well. There's another guy asking about the side covers so I'll try to shoot some pics to both of you today. If I recall correctly though, they're both busted, I love the badges but I'll be going another way sidecover-wise.

There's also what I believe to be an early 70's cb350 cb450 tank that's got a frozen cap, but seems reasonable on the outside. Comes with cap and petcock, I'll try to get some pics up soon. It's not the one on the bike.

Best offer takes an item. I am partial to tradesies, but there are multiple people asking about this stuff, so I'm trying to play fair. I will list info as I dig it up. I am looking up recent sales where possible to get a ballpark idea of what's reasonable, but shoot me an offer, you never know.

I was asked about the mirror, it does not have the "HM" mark, it says "Hawk" and "Made in Japan" I forgot to take pics of the back. I'll do it later, it's Valentine's Day and my fiancee is going to kill me if I spend to much time on this today. She wants champagne and chocolates.

The side covers are both broken, I guess if you were determined to do it, you could repair them as the tabs are all intact and there aren't any actual bits missing. The badges are OEM, they have the HM mark under the wings. The chrome "750 Four" on the left cover is for a '71-72 model. The other three are for a '73-76. Here are pics. I am not going to pull individual badges off the covers. Here are pics of the covers and badges.

And here are pics of the early 70's 350 450 tank:

Ship to US?

I would be interested in the front brake caliper and hardware, no lines needed.

 

[Killman77]

Hey Tune-A,

Sure I'll ship to the US. Wasn't planning on selling the front caliper, as I was going to look into a dual disk conversion for the front, but make me an offer.

Quick update: Anyone with a tank and/or side stand for this thing that actually comes up with it, is going to be very warmly regarded as far as "negotiations" go. As in, if you have both, you can pretty much just ask me to box up and send whatever you want that I don't need myself.

I have a used side stand

I refuse to remove the sticker off the nice NOS one I got for mine:

Wow,

Is it wrong that I want to say, "Hubba hubba"? Love the swingarm! I'm a little worried about the stopping power on this thing with only a single caliper, though. It's a heavy bike and I weigh over 200, plus gear. I was thinking that I might swap in a GL or F front and run both calipers. Means that I'd have to get the other one chromed to match, though. In the end it might be worth it to just upgrade to some more modern bits.

Seriously cool bike Tune-A, made my morning! ;D

Thanks. I whore her out as much as I can for exposure haha!!

Check this out: May offer some insight for the dual disc setup!

Thanks for the link. From reading the comments, it sounds like they're talking about converting an F model to dual disc? Not sure if everything would line up for my early K model. None of the links in the thread were still active, but I liked the idea of just dropping in a Nighthawk front end, with a bearing and MC change. I'm a ways away from tackling the front end, though. Got some Hondaman and Dyna bits coming in to play with first.
