Folks here are few of the pics I promised. Pics of When I bought it, stripped, and rebuilt. Running as sweet as a nut.

Thanks Kawboy. It's like ridding around on a 3 seater sofa. Loads of fun.

It looks great. I like the paintwork and gold striping.  Did you have to do anything to the engine?
Is the Honda Four yours too?

May I ask what that large stainless vessel is in your workshop?

Hi Biltonjim
The gold stripes are gold leaf, 3 layers delicately rubbed on, then 15 coats (yes 15) of Lacquer. He started with a black metallic marble base, then put 7 layers of the metallic Candy red, then the lettering on the tank (took off the badges which were screwed on) and then the lacquer. No work on engine needed, it was excellent when it came in from California - 2 months in transport, I put some petrol in it, and a battery and it started first turn to my total delight. runs lovely. I put new spark plugs in and changed the oil filter and oil and that was that. I put baffles in the short pipes as it was a bit too load for me and that was easy. 
The CB 750 is a 1974 I bought a few years ago. I intended to do a nut and bolt rebuild but to be honest it is a totally original bike and it runs like the day it was made and it really is very nice - not a show bike but I ride it all the time ,along with a wee Vespa and a Suzuki 2003 GSX 1400. 
The big tank is part of a micro brewery - have a look at this link. Modest Beer. Cheers. Kenny  share.bublup.com/ui/landing_page?item_id...46-a404-d467e53d393a
