what i like is to see previous owners allowing these great bikes to be passed on to somebody who cares to make the vehicle have another day in the sun..not allowing these bikes to rot away in some shed/barn or worse..everybody wins..previous owner gets $$ and the new guy gets to restore or fix to his hearts content..

Don't let them grind you down BJ you do what you do its your channel I enjoy all the content on old Japanese bikes if people aren't happy then they shouldn't watch or give negative comments

The most surprising thing about that bike is it still having the original exhausts on a chopper , that’s just weird! Totally agree with not changing it, it’s a part of motorcycling history, hardly any of these survive without being updated and this one is like a time capsule 👍

Hello BJ I’ve been waiting on your next video and I can’t tell you how pleased I was to see what you’ve found. It’s like time travelling to my youth! Undoubtedly untouched, don’t change a thing BJ, you’ll never find another. I was an apprentice painter, in the U.K., at the time this bike was painted. I completed a bike tank, CB125 S in around 79 in Spendrift which is the same finish. Recently, I found this old tank on a shelf in my garage and brought it down and on a wet Sunday buffed up this old tank and I have it hanging in my bike shed as my own type of art! It looks cool, chips, scrapes and all. If I can figure a way to post you a photograph I will. Cheers BJ my friend thank you for making my day, regards Kevin.

Love these build videos! Can't wait to see how this chopper comes along. As for the fuel disposal, our city yard will take almost anything automotive/household chemical related. Where AutoZone or O-Reilley would not take old anti-freeze my yard would. So try that route! BTW, you were so super cool helping out Motorcycle Rewind get his GPZ 1100 back on the road during his trip. Awesome!!!

I would love to pick up an old japanese motorbike as a project but, here in the UK , people are asking really stupid money for bikes that are totally s***. I have walked away from so many old bikes that the owners valued at prices far in excess of what it would cost to get them roadworthy again. They can keep them till they rust away as far as I am concerned. It would be great if I could find just one seller who wants to pass on a bike that would be cherished and used after fixing up.

Hey B.J.! I really enjoy watching revival videos. In my opinion, there are not enough on motorcycles.

I like watching your fabrication videos as well. Go to your roots on the videos and post what you enjoy. Fix a fuel issue and then ride after? Post it! 5 min vid on bike night? Let's see it.

Picture a GT550 Suzuki with a 10" over front end and a sissy bar. I got the stock tubes and cables with it so I put it back to stock and sold the tubes to a (You guessed it) a CB750 rider I worked with, He took that thing everywhere. Pulled a small hand made trailer w\camper built in and painted to match. That was in 1976. Redoing the wires was a mess because whoever extended the loom cut them way too close to the connector and proceeded to wire it in one color. I used twist ties w\colors written on them with a pen to finally get it done.(After blowing the fuse 20 or so times.)Wonder how much he wanted for the 750F? Great find. Hope you have fun with it!
