Sitting on a 1976 CB750 with a stuck engine (it sat for a few years). I'm in the third round of trying to free it with penetrating oil and rocking it in a high gear, but if this last attempt doesn't work, It's gotta go as I have other stuff to work on. If that's the case -- any interest?
Engine has 12,500 miles. Top end looks a little weathered from sitting but bottom end looks clean. Points cover in good shape, kicker cover has some rust. Willing to part out if need be as well.
Exhaust is factory 4-4. One pipe has been JB welded, another might have some rust on the bottom that will break through, but they're pretty solid and would clean up on a daily rider. I'll inspect more if I pull everything obviously.
Carbs are a little weathered on the outside, but look clean in the one float bowl I pulled. Choke works.
Tank and side covers have been repainted a light blue. Tank seems to be in good shape but some rust inside. LH side cover in great shape but missing wing emblem. RH side cover has one broken tab.
Got a period Corbin-Gentry seat on it that is in really nice shape. A little rust in the pan but nothing that threatens its integrity, and the vinyl and stitching are in great shape.
Speedo and tach aren't too faded; faces still very green, orange on tips of needle is faded though. Chrome rings have some rust, but instruments look to be in great shape.
Dunno 'bout electrics, but everything is there.
I'm in Boston, and I'd be willing to let the whole thing go if anyone's interested but realize I can make a little more parting it out so it won't be dirt cheap.
Lemme know. I'm giving it 2 or 3 more days to unfreeze before I pull the plug.
