I’ve had this since 1976. I set it up at that time with a Windjammer III fairing, custom seat, oil cooler, front crash bar, rear rack/backrest, and saddlebags. I put around 25,000 miles on it riding across the country on several trips.

I laid it up in 2008 after I removed the several aftermarket add ons. I drained all fluids/battery for long term covered storage in my shop.  It has never been stored outside. I recently pulled it out and began the process of refreshing it back into operating condition.

I completed the following; I used the KBS Coatings 52050 system to clean and coat the fuel tank. It wasn’t leaking and only had light surface rust, but I wanted it to be trouble free. I replaced the fuel selector valve rubber parts, fuel tank mounts front/rear, fuel cap gasket, all fuel vent, drain and supply hoses, fuse holder, battery, rubber grommets for side covers, new master cylinder, and rebuilt the wheel cylinder, new oil/filter, new fork boots and new Avon front and rear tires. I put repair kits in carburetors and replaced intake and air filter rubber boots. I replaced the right handle bar switch (kill, headlight, starter button) and new front brake light pressure switch. Anything rubber is new as it had hardened over the last 54 years.

Imperfections: the front fender has a depression for the removed aftermarket air horn compressor, the fuel tank has a small dent and black paint in Honda emblems is cracking, plastic chain guard is missing, ignition contact point cover has been dented but straightened. The air filter housing had small crack that was fixed in 1976 but needed a better repair as well as the side covers which had small cracks both are now fixed with fiberglass*** cloth and epoxy.

Aftermarket accessories included if you want them; Windjammer III fairing, saddle bags, rear backrest/rack, front roll bar, oil cooler, and custom fat *** seat.

This 750 is roughly 98% original, original paint, with no rust. I still have the original 3 ring binder shop manual as well. It's a strong running 750 that's carried me across the country several times but now it's refreshed and ready for a new rider.

Since getting it back in running condition I've been riding it and realizing how much fun it is. I also found out why I had bought a custom seat as the stock one is hard and uncomfortable. I put the custom seat back on.
