My 77 CB750A

Geb


I got this bike a week ago.  Planning on doing a few things in the way of restoration, although it really could be just left the way it is.  Looking for sissy bar/luggage rack, saddle bags or trunk perhaps.  Let me know what you think.  The previous owner removed all the emblems, which I will probably hunt down and put back on.

COOL BIKE!!! Matics are my favorite! I have 4 1/2 of them, 2 1/2 76 models, and 2 77 models. I have a very nice set of vintage Bates saddle bags, and trunk that came off one of my 77 matics I would be will to sale. And welcome to the forum.

I'd be interested in seeing some pics and knowing what you want for them.  Thanks a lot.

Your bike looks great! I have a bone stock 1977 CB750A, but after seeing yours with the single seat, and how good it looks, it maybe it's time for a change!

Nice looking bike.  I bought a king/queen seat to swap out when I want to take my kids or wife along, but I'm not too happy with it.  It's too thick.  Makes you ride high and looks clunky.  I need to find a better original.  But when I'm riding alone, I like the single.

That is one of the nicest Matics I have seen. That thing should be in a museum.

I'm thinking of selling it and moving on to something different.  Any offers out there?
