Nice bike and welcome... You should register it in the CB750 thread...
A little background about the bike and how you got it? Any experience with CB's prior?

I'll get it registered.  I bought the bike off ebay.  I think it sat for quite awhile.  The guy I bought it from got it at a wholesale auction.  I have no experience with a cb750.  I haven't been on a bike in 35 years.  I try to ride 3or4 times a week.  I went to a local riding school here and am re-learning EVERYTHING. :)

Hilarious! Maybe you can enlighten the newbie with a few pics of your CB collection Eric!

Maybe throw in a few of your bobbers! ;)

Nothing against Bobbers Nick,just have not felt the urge yet and I would probably kill myself on one anyways.  ;) My only blue one is nowhere near as purdy as his.

I was kidding with the bobber comment! Your collection is second to none for stockers.

The bike has 62,000 miles on it.  It sat for quite awhile and I had to have a lot of work done on the carbs.  I've seen all the "bobbers" and "choppers" and this bike will remain bone stock.  Well, kinda anyway.  Tomorrow I order new tires, progressive 412 shocks, progressive wound front springs and a new chain.  I'd like to find a "basket case" sometime and make a "cafe racer" type bike.  I seem to recall years ago that the honda transmissions would "click" when put into gear.  This one kinda "clanks".  With this much mileage, I guess that's to be expected.  Like I said in a previous post I haven't been on a bike or owned one in about 35 years, so it's been a re-learning experience so far.  I love the 750 and will ride the crap out of it.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
