Welcome Ryan, I'm doing the same thing. I got a 1980 cb750c for barter of services a few months ago and we are doing the same thing. You work fast it took me 3 weeks to get down to the bare backbone.  

There are 2 things that you won't ever regret.
1) inspect and correct every little detail of the fuel system from the gas cap to the fuel/air intake at the cylinder head.
2) Inspect every wire in the harness and sub harnesses and replace any connector or wire that looks iffy.

3) the rest is all a matter of works or don't work.

*I am replacing all the bearings my bike has 36,000 miles... there's probably nothing wrong with them right now. But, everything is apart and bearings are cheap.

I have debated re-building the engine and trans and have decided not to at this time. the engine runs, why waste $1000 to $2500?

Ryan if you don't know how to get the trees of that tells me one thing. You need a Clymer manual. get this one $27 http://www.themotorbookstore.com/cbdohfour19.html
