Looked at a '79 CB750F today that has been setting out (uncovered) behind a mobile home for at least two years. He has title for it. Looks like about 1/16" of paint is peeling up from the tank, but the seat looks fair and it all appears to be there. Forks have minor rust above where the seals should run. He is still looking for the key, and I want to look in the tank. I wouldn't try turning it over without oiling cylinders, changing oil, maybe checking valve lash. Thinking for $250 it might make an interesting rat bike winter project. New tires, rebuild the forks, new brake lines and rebuild calipers (and a new front master - this one is shot). IF the motor is Ok, could be good.
