1978 Honda 750

[Koestum]

Just picked up my ebay purchase. A 1978 Honda 750 with title for $550. Battery is dead but the plate is still good through april and it started on the third kick with fresh gas.

Great Find. What are you plans?

Thanks for the comments. The bike is so nice, clean, and complete that my plan is just to keep it original. I'll remove the fairing, remove the highway pegs, get a factory seat, find side covers, and put the turn signals back on. It's not perfect but it's super nice and I think it would be a shame to do anything else with this particular bike... for now

Well I got RpBet's seat and fork ears on, pulled the headlight off a parts bike and added it, found rear turn signals on ebay, and already had some front turn signals for it. I have some reproduction side covers of original side covers but they still have to be painted so they're not on yet.

It sounds great and seems to have a lot more power than my '75 did. This thing will move!

Drove it around a little last night and then downtown today where I snapped this picture:
