thanks for the advice guys. i have to say $2100 plus a gas tank is not a lot to pay for a cb750 that has just had all the major service done. still, i've decided I don't want to go down that rabbit hole. maybe someone else will snatch it up.
Saw this listing sitting at $600 for an entire cb750 minus a tank, exhaust and some other small things. I'm close enough that I could go get it if I win, but I'm wondering whether it's a good deal considering the compression could be bad or something. Assuming the engine doesnt need a rebuild...
according to modern tire convention, your stock tire already has way too much sidewall. This causes tire flex and hurts stability and feeling. that's one of the main reasons for going to a wider wheel. I would also look into getting smaller diameter rims if youre gonna lace them up to the old...

This guys seems to have raised the front end but thanks to the smaller wheels, the visual balance of the bike is...
Subscribed. Just out of curiosity, have you been measuring to make sure the frame is straight while you're chopping it up and welding in new metal? If so, what method are you using? It looks like the fender is sitting a little crooked but maybe it's just my eyes or the camera angle.
