New bike/New to the forum.
« on: July 20, 2012, 07:10:09 PM »
Hi all! just acquired a 1974 cb750...fo free! Just wanted everyone to check it out. Look at where the shocks are mounted to fit the extended swing arm, which by the way is six inches extended, not too sure about it. I've begun the tear down process. I'll post more pictures as i go.

Welcome, aj! You can't beat the price. ;D Regarding the swing-arm, I'd lose it, unless you are planning to build a hill-climber.. ;)

Does it run? I usually like to get a bike running if I can, so I can get an idea of what it needs, before tearing it down.
