Wanted to say "Hello"
« on: November 24, 2012, 06:06:47 PM »
Have had a '71 CB750K1 for six or eight years now, and finally got it back on the road a week ago yesterday.  Not perfect, but pretty good and hoping to make it better.  I bought it from a friend who inherited it (didn't ride) and it was stored in an airplane hanger for probably 10 years or so before I got it.  Anyway, it's mostly there and mostly stock, and I intend to keep it that way.  Also last week I stumbled over a low-mileage '75 CB550K1 that had been off the road for the last 30 years (literally) and stored inside.  I got it for a good price I thought.  Has 4k miles on the clock and is in very good condition overall, but also not perfect.  But, it sure looks and runs good!  Will try to post some pictures sometime in the near future, but it's late in the season and bikes are going to sleep for the winter here in Iowa.  I'm looking forward to pickin' some brains here!  Ben

Welcome! We have a few things in common! My 550 is orange! Yours too or the slower green one?

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!
