Hey Brian,
I have found McLendons hardware to be the least expensive source for stainless metric hardware. The new super McLendon's in Renton seems to have the best selection. Also, there is Tacoma screw (expensive) and a place down in the industrial area (sodo/ Georgetowni district) called All Metric.

Yes, we should get together for a ride!

Hey Kevin, what sort of bits do you have?  I'm actually looking for a seat at the moment and maybe some rearsets.

I am new to the site, just getting back into cycling, just acquired a 73 CB750, and am looking to see what people/rides/events/parts/help there is around Seattle/Everett area.  I am hoping to have the bike runnning within the week and don't care that the rains will hit soon...my riding season just started.

What does PRMC stand for? The MC is obvious, but what about the PR? Punk Rock?

Another Portlander here.  Picking up my '74 750k tomorrow.  Hope it will be roadworthy in the next week or so.  I'm looking for people to ride with, so if anyone wants to get a ride going let me know.

Yeah!  Got my 75 750F running again after a 17 year storage.  Still needs some fine tuning, but runs for now.

How's the restore going?  I know some of the parts can be hard to find for these old girls.

I believe thats called the Great White North.  Don't they use a studded rear tire and a ski for the front?
Thought about riding to work this morning, but the 32 degrees and those hairpin turns in the shade changed my mind. Maybe tomorrow.

I have a 1975 cb750 (restore/mod project) Live in Ellensburg WA

I'd like to make it to some local rides in the future.
keep us posted of cool events in the PNW!

Or come over to my side of the mountains and we can do a few good rides over here (after it warms back up abit).  Yakima canyon, old cle elum hiway, roslyn has some killer Pizza and some great taverns and bars (even some good live music) And theres so many other good rides... down South towards you in OR there's satus pass the columbia river. And to the East theres the lakes by Spokane/Postfalls/Rathdrum area.  I've got a cabin I'm building in Spiritlake ID. Very nice country!

I've seen several other SOHC4s here in town and even recomended the forum to one guy I got to talk to for a bit.

I love the PNW!

I think a NW SOHC posse would be a lot of fun.  Just need to ping everyone in the Spring and maybe include the Oregon forum for some coastal rides.
