I used PB Blaster penetrating oil and lots of cable pushing and pulling.  Feels not too bad now.

Most useless tool?  Motionpro cable lubricator. 

I've had good results with them but they take some encouragement if the cable fit isn't tight.   I wrap the end of the cable with electrical tape to get a better seal.  I've brought particularly nasty cables, i.e. rusty, back to life by taping off the end of the cable and filling it, using a sandwich bag 'funnel' taped to the open end, with a rust remover (I like Krud Clutter) and let it sit in the cable overnight (or longer).  Then, flush with WD-40 followed by a good cable lube.

RD, I don't suppose you still have the black exhaust. It was quite a bit quieter than the chromie.

What you see in the pic is the way it is now.  I reckon, unless I find an acceptable pre-owned exhaust, I’d look at getting a Delkevic 4into1, $471CDN plus shipping.  But that’s a way down the road.

That's a fine looking bike!  Are those front signals in the OEM position?  They seem low.

Unfortunately, no.....it went with the CB750, I am bent on decluttering.

This bike is completely stock OEM excepting the exhaust, seat cover, and 530 chain.  Even the headlamp looks to be original.

Betty wouldn’t like it.  But more importantly, Sandy would veto it.

Both statements are true, without mounting any defense.

No papers is not the end of the world......a bit of correspondance, and Bob's Yer Uncle.  I've done half a dozen of them.

  IMO, that's a bit of a money pit. You're much better off with the 750 Ross.
