New owner here. '75 CB750F.

leaf
She needs a bit of lovin' but overall i'm pretty satisfied with my purchase.  The owner dropped the bike loading into the truck but luckily it only bent the left handle bar and broke a mirror.

I'm planning on taking it to a local shop and having the brake lines replaced as well as all other hoses checked out.  New f&r disks and pads, oil change, chain lube, new clip-ons and bar end mirrors done with a new stock front fender.  

Is there anything else I should have done or looked at?

I'm really looking forward to being a part of this community!

Picture for reference. :)

Fairly solid.  Shifts nicely, i'm going to do a Seafoam treatment and see how much better it can get.

Looks like it could use some fresh paint, or maybe just a clear coat...
But I love the setup. Nice cowl and front end setup. I think it'll look better when you put the front fender on it.

Check the routing on the speedo cable, and the front brake line -- make sure they can't get caught/rubbed by the front tire!  That speedo cable looks as though it may be rubbing against the front tire.  Normally, they are clipped to the fender, to prevent touching the tire, especially during turns.  The current set-up looks a bit footloose and fancy-free...  Cheers!

I rode mine for a long time with no front fender. I only put it on to keep mud out of the fins. I can't remember what I did to keep the speedo cable from draggingI did have to do something. I really dig the look of no fender,though. And I think the paint is perfect. Would be cool with a head light visor,though
