1972 CB750: Resurrection Cancellation

Been sitting on a 1972 CB750 for about 4 years. 16k original miles. Needed a rewire, but had good compression and would have been a runner. Cosmetically challenged, been sitting outside for years. Since I'm moving and still have a few projects to finish up, I had been considering parting it out if the right opportunity came along; it did. Bought the bike for $200 with Lee and a trailer way out in West Phoenix, but sold the engine, oil bag and gauges (looked to be functional but rusty) for $270. Father-son project of a CB750A (Hondamatic) turned out to be a bit of a turd (they should have asked me first), so they want to swap out the engine. Drained the oil and it looked so clean and clear. Damn, there she goes. Rebuilt carbs, straight fenders, new wiring harness, and a completely dent-free tank should up the money-makin' potential on this, and there's always the front disc brake, wheels, og handlebars with wiring intact, forks, steering stem, shocks... and that sweet luggage rack. Hit me up if you are interested in any of that shit, but I know what it's worth...
