Thanks Half-Calf Prices in my area are quite high - one of the CB750s posted here (1976 SOHC) without papers, in a rusty condition, and mostly appears incomplete is about $970. Good running condition CB750s (advertised as nothing to fix and with complete papers) of the same year and model as the one I'm looking at (1980) goes for around $3000 so I'm really thinking it's a good bargain if I can get this one running.
Another plus side of this bike (aside from it being the cheapest in the market) is that according to the owner the top end of the engine has been replaced with one from a CB900F I'm not really sure if that makes getting the engine running more complicated but I'm very much happy with that upgrade.
It's hard to tell how much is involved getting this bike to run and how much harder I have to source for parts. In my city alone, I haven't seen anyone riding this kind of bike - I actually have to travel to another city about 5 hours drive just to reach the seller's place. There might not be any mechanics in my area as well that specializes in this kind of bike
Will this kind of setup (CB900F topend on a CB750F case) make rebuilding the engine more complicated for me? There does not seem to be a way for me to verify if the topend indeed came from a CB900F until I have the engine opened so I guess I'll just have to trust the owner on that. I might also have to learn doing things on my own with this bike since I don't think there are good mechanics for this bike around here. I would appreciate any other inputs you may have. Thanks again in advance.
