Yes, the tach still works....Yet.
Ever notice how even though Honda is the most reliable, best built bike, every model has it's known problems.

Ha! Yes, that is true. I scored a very nice used working one when I had mine as a backup. Never needed it, but got quite a bit for it when I sold it!

Made out well when I sold the '79. Owned for about three years. Bought for $3500 and sold for $6000. I didn't have the expertise to re-build and sync the carbs. Had a knowledgeable tech close by who could, and did a few times, but always wary of the next issue. Used only non-ethanol fuel too. Have none of those worries now. In fairness, I had an '81 Custom for 30+ years without ANY carb issues.

While in the army, I had a tour of duty in Thailand in 1969. I met a guy there, Chuck from Michigan. He rode, his whole family rode, and we could rent Honda 350's in the little beach resort town of Pattaya. That's where i learned to ride. When i ETS'ed from the army in '71, in Virginia, I had a 1965 Chevy Impala SS. I drove across country and made a stop to see my riding bud Chuck, who was out of the army. We did a lot of riding around near the town of Owasso, I on his new 650 Bonneville, he on his Dad's #2 bike, also a Bonneville. We did a 9-day trip round Lake Superior, and had blast. When I got home to SoCal, the CB750 was visible on the street. I wanted one, but couldn't afford it, so I got the next best thing, a CL450. which I rode like I'd stole it. Never did get the CB750, but some years later, I got a Nighthawk 750, which was carbed. I heard I could boost its performance a bit by adding a washer under the needle, so I did, and performed some surgery on the pipes. It ran and sounded AWESOME!

My 1980 750F SuperSport was the second bike I ever bought brand new. My first was a 1976 Kawasaki 750 4-stroke twin. I believe I paid $2600 for the supersport.
