Some of you might recall that I am elbows deep into the custom Kawasaki project. So why, you ask, would I acquire three, yes 3, complete Honda basket cases? Well, mainly because they were dang near free. This gentleman passed away after a lengthy illness recently and had these motorcycles on his Phoenix back porch for who knows how many years. His son is looking to get rid of them. Mr. Numbers was a friend and mentioned them to me, so I guess I'm the lucky recipient...
They go into the shed - for a rainy day - and you know how many of those we have here in Phoenix.
Anyway, 78 CB750F sohc. This is a really what I was interested in, but it was all or nothing. It appears to be mostly complete, but is a real mess. I don't even know what's under all the filth yet, but I don't expect too much. The tank is somewhere in the garage needs to be located. Fingers crossed on that... The pipe dream is that it could be a restoration candidate, but more likely a custom.
There's also a 76? 750 in about a hundred pieces. This is just a parts Locker for the 78 I think .
Then there's the CB400T Type I. It appears to be all there, but being outside on a back porch even in Arizona has taken its toll. Not worth nothing, but it's not worth much either.
I haven't seen them yet, as the titles are being transferred to the wife so they can legally be sold. JN has seen them and seems to think that there might be some potential. There are titles! Looks like the transfer will be finalized in a few weeks weeks.
So, I either have a couple of viable project candidates in the pipeline, or a whole bunch of junk. I think at the very least, I have a bunch of parts that I can sell off. Either way, looks like more fun ahead in the not-too-distant future.
