Can’t go wrong for a 100 bucks. I’d sell the parts you don’t need and turn it into a cafe bike. Probably cost to much to get all original parts it needs

[@motorcyclerewind]

It’s all the little parts that nickel and dime you when going back original. Not sure what we are gonna do. Thanks for watching.

[@sjv6598]

I wish we could find such cheap bikes here! Even basket cases are a fortune.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I get pretty lucky. Seem to find the best deals when I’m not looking. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

[@kalaharimine]

Try to repair and reinstate it to a collectible original. I like what Brickhouse did with his CB750, although you've got a longer road to travel.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I like what BJ did with “Pati” I would prefer to keep it original. Just need to put pen to paper and make sure the math works. Thanks for watching. 🙏

[@flir67man84]

Hay i need a xs650 wire hub.. if you want to sell it ? im building a 77 yahama xs750 cafe racer. Trying to build wire rims for it..

[@motorcyclerewind]

@flir67man84 They are yours. Message me your address on Instagram or email [e-mail] and I will send them. All you have to do is share the channel. Fair trade!

[@JustGKue]

If you get another ID purchase it from you.

[@motorcyclerewind]

You got it.

[@DocJonesGarage]

Nice video Eric, what a cool deal how could you pass that up?? I always seemed to find (or they find me) the "ugly duckling" stuff too, know anymore about the story behind that seat and tank setup? Nice the got reunited. I's say throw it back together and see what you think then. I do think those older 750 triple tree upper clamp are a bit harder to find 👍👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

Just the front end alone is going to cost. Needs new fork tubes and upper triple tree. Once we head down this road it may be easier/cheaper to buy a parts bike.

[@bruceaskin9645]

The underside of the 650 seat was interesting. Probably is home made . I have done a lot of fiberglass, it is way easier to make a direct copy of the original than to start from scratch. From the brief glimpse we got , it looks like it was coppied from a rusty original and the rust is still stuck to it.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Very good eye. Thanks for watching.

[@bruceaskin9645]

so did you sit the seat on backwards to see if anyone would notice

[@motorcyclerewind]

😂😂😂I did not notice was just trying see what parts were there. 😂😂😂

[@MelloWombat]

I hope that when people call me cool its not for the same reason as that seat

[@motorcyclerewind]

😂😂😂 is it so back if they think you’re cool in the end. 😂😂😂

[@deanfehr9445]

Rebuild it to stock. Nothing like an original cb750

[@motorcyclerewind]

I agree the CB750 is pretty special. And the early middle 70’s are my favorite. Thanks for watching!!!

[@flir67man84]

You could build a mono shock cafe racer out of that frame.. good candidate..

[@motorcyclerewind]

Especially since I have some GSXR parts I took off of the FREE GPZ.

[@bruceaskin9645]

Label it and store it, either the other parts will come or someone else will be looking for these. The hardest thing with these bikes is getting the four original pipes.

[@motorcyclerewind]

That’s right. Waiting for a little break so I can put the engine back together. I’ve found that’s the best place to store engine parts. Takes up less space. 😂

[@plan-bmotos]

Well that was a no brainer! nice deal!

[@motorcyclerewind]

I am a connoisseur of cheap motorcycles! The cheaper the better!

[@bruceaskin9645]

Carby looks like two stroke single

[@motorcyclerewind]

You’re probably right. Thanks

[@flir67man84]

What happened to the moto guzzi ?

[@motorcyclerewind]

Still here. It’s the first thing I see when I walk into the shop. Need to build a bracket for the gauges, bleed the brakes and buff and polish the clear coat. Then it can move to someone else’s house. Should be back on the channel next week.

[@jeramystephens74]

If you want to get rid of the CB360 exhaust, let me know.

[@motorcyclerewind]

I will keep you in mind. Where are you located?

[@jeramystephens74]

I'm in Kentucky

[@motorcyclerewind]

@@jeramystephens74 cool

[@daveco1270]

That's a score. You could get over 100 for just the carbs...although without bowls and floats, maybe more like 50. That seat and cowl are hideous. The jester style leather triangles that come off the back of the seat are hilarious. For 12 dollars you can get a whole new ignition switch with 2 keys.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Dave thanks for watching really appreciate it! The 12 dollars is just for the key using the code from the ignition. Here is a sample link www.ebay.com/itm/121491833045. I just type in honda motorcycle key and the code. You probably could get a whole new ignition with two keys for pretty cheap. The good thing about the code is it works with the other locks on the bike.

[@ConTheDon187]

do you know why the motor was taken apart?

[@motorcyclerewind]

Sure don’t the guy I got it from bought it this way. We’ll find out together when I try putting it back together. It’s already in the engine stand and gaskets have arrived. Stay tuned.

[@ConTheDon187]

@@motorcyclerewind Will do haha hopefully nothing with the bottom end!
