The following items are no longer available:
Carb assembly
Charging system (rotor, stator, rectifier/regulator, and wiring)
Clutch lever (from handlebars)
4 into 4 exhaust system

The guy who bought the last items will be back this weekend for rest of the bike.
Thanks to all of you for your attention.

UPDATE:
The frame, engine parts, and other bits and pieces have been sold. If anyone would like to contact the new owner for something, let me know and I'll make the email connection for you.
He's using parts from 2 bikes to make one good one. He likes the chrome on mine, and the strong engine on his.
I did keep my Haynes manual, and am thinking of scanning the serial number information (as long as everyone agrees I'm not violating any copyright laws by doing so) for upload to this forum.

Yup, you are correct. The local guy picked up everything on Saturday the 16th. My bike originally had a fairing as well, which means I had the Vetter headlight, a homemade bracket and aftermarket front signals.
If you like, I can put you in touch with the guy I sold this stuff to. You could make him an offer and see what happens.
Let me know at your leisure.

Hello Doug,
Sorry, I do not have the bike or the parts anymore. I sold those last year as a parts/project. I offered the exhaust to people at this board, but I only had a few nibbles.
I think I sold the whole kit and kaboodle for about $500, if I recall.

Two messages up, you'll see that I sold the bike some time ago...last year, if memory serves. I no longer have any CB750 parts. I do have a Haynes manual, softcopy of the FSMs, and a heart full of memories. Luke M

How much for the heart full of memories? I'd like to get those.
Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?
Shiny: [...] Considering the weather you've had to put up with I'd say you get an Iron Butt award and a Frozen Nipple trophy to go along with it. First time I've ever posted the word nipple... it ends here.

Actually, you could contact the guy who bought the parts off of me. His username here is C McCarthy, and he lives in central Ohio, like me.
He hasn't been on this board for a while, but maybe you could reach out to him. I noticed he put a few of my old pieces on the local Craigslist, but that was quite a while ago.
Good luck.

Well, I have to admit my CB750 was a fun ride. I may get another one, once I become independently wealthy...and get my garage back.
The heart full of memories would be: getting the carbs sorted out enough to get the bike running, wiring fixes, new rear tire and how grippy the new one was, 85 mph on an airport access road, rapid deceleration from 85 due to a large hedgehog crossing the road in front of me, seeing my reflection on my bike in a downtown building with mirrored glass, standing on tiptoes at every traffic light I stopped at, despair at the long cam chain breaking and the bike needing a push to a parking lot, tearing the engine down and finding about $2k in repairs needed, and the last one loading the bike into a guy's cargo van and saying goodbye to a rare bike in pieces. I'm sure there's a few more, but you get the picture.
Ahh....memories.

Apologies, Mister J. I sold all the parts quite some time ago. Nothing more for sale, at least in a CB750 sense.
