I am really itching to get a new bike.  I am riding an old 84 Shadow right now and I also have this hillbilly project I made in my spare time from a 79 CB750.  I want to get rid of both and get something decent but I have no idea what I would even ask for the billy bike.  I know it isn't worth near what I have sunk into it.  Anyone have any ideas?

I don't have any real idea what that might be worth, but I'd be interested to hear your price when you're going to sell it. I might be in the market for something cool like that.

I'll give you $100, four alum five spoke Jeep rims, and a broken deer feeder (needs a new motor), for the Hillbilly Cafe Racer. And I will come and get the bike.

I like the Bike.
CB750,Not as many valves,Like today's powerplants...Still a strong engine.
Where's the battery cover?

Yeah,I'm a hillbilly

Battery covers are gone, as are the seat mounting tabs.  didnt' quite go w/ the other fiberglass.  This one actually has the first year 16 valve engine.  faster than the SOHC but nothing like today's.

Go over to [url]www.sohc4.net[/url] and poke around. Those bikes have a large and loyal following, because they are great bikes. "I have had once since 1977, myself. There is a mailing list there that you can join and ask about value, as well as perhaps find a buyer who would give it a good home.

Hey, it has rearsets.  And i'll have you know, they are damn uncomfortable too!  If it hurts to ride, you know its good.

tell me about it! my last glasser was a '92 gsxr-1100...talk about a radical seating position. but, that thing sure could talk to me!

sorry, i can't see the rear mounted brake/peg in the pic. i'm guessing you moved the factory brake lever/peg?

yeah, i guess thats an older pic.  The fairing blocked the brake so i had to do rearsets, otherwise i would have left it standard.  I'm still torn between cruiser/sportbike right now.  I would like to have something i can take long trips on and that rules out a true sporter, but i like the looks a lot better.  Maybe i'll end up w/ some kind of sport tourer or something even worse like a pacific coast.

I'd say that Campy is close. You might get double that also. Probably realisticly, $1000 - $1500. It is a nice looking bike for sure.
