New Guy from Hickory NC
« on: July 26, 2012, 07:03:10 AM »
Hello Everyone! I just recently purchased a '78 CB750F from someone who i believe is a member on here, but i'm unsure of his screen name. This is my first vintage bike and i'm very excited to learn more about it and RIDE IT. I'm looking forward to possibly meeting some local members and gaining knowledge of these vintage machines. Thanks and be well, Jordan.

It looks like it does not have 1978 carbs. Do you know which carbs those are?

The engine is from a '76 model.
