Renewed member - 71 750 Minnesota
« on: July 01, 2012, 06:31:04 PM »
Had a couple of CBs. A 550 and 74 750. Heres my new ride. Issues so far...no rear brake, missing some emblems shot front tire. Paid 475. Wanna ride soon. Glad to be back on the forum too.

Keep it as it. Im gonna touch up the retro job that is there, and clearcoat it. Custom make some pegs for it, then drive it till the wheels fall off.

Sounds like a good plan. Plenty of envious looks I am sure...

Ah yes, the EAA. I worked for 20 years at the EAA on the flightline as an EMT. It was a great experience for sure.

The few parts I have I am going to use on my next project. But try the wanted area of the board if you need something. The guys have a ton of stuff.
