Very nice looking.  It appears as though the oil cooler has worm gear hose clamps...  They tend to lose their seal under the 71 PSI coming from the engine -- if they are worm gear clamps, I would highly recommend replacing them with T-bolt clamps.  Other than that, it is very nice.  I hope it finds a good rider who will continue to take good care of it.  Cheers!

That man took really good care of that bike! Aftermarket exhaust, and oil cooler. I agree on the T-bolts. Worm clamps will not do the job, but I do not see any signs of leaking on it.
You ride that bike into the middle of a group of "me-to harleys" and you will be the center of attention 
There is one thing about these bikes that can be annoying though. You must allow extra time to get somewhere. Every time you stop somebody is going to want to ask you about your classic Honda 750.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
