Hey Kieth.
I am at Victoria Point and have a CB500 1972, but my mate has a shed full of 750s. He also has a resto ,repair bike business and he specialises in pre 85 Hondas. His name is Murray and his business is retrocycles, he is at shed 6/ 9-11 trade st Ormiston. He has plenty of parts new and used.
email me if you want his number, this guy is a fanatic.

Hi Keith, we are a Honda 750/4 club based in Brisbane. If you're not a member drop me a line & I'll give you the details. We organise rides etc. The next one is to Murphys Creek on 30th August. Cheers, Paul

I'm Baaaack!
(Was Brookesy but no access to that account)

Not in Bris though - but i get down there a bit

Not much progress on the 750's but that's all about to change

My current ride is a CB1300s and i love it

Recently started work on my CB750 "special"
So far working on stretching the tank 2 1/2 inches and fitting Tarozzi fuel cap etc.
The frame is now a couple of kilos lighter and braced (still some more bracing to go)

BTW does anyone know a good supplier for Pingel fuel taps in Oz?

Things to do include
Tarozzi Rearsets and Clipons
Finish strecthing the tank (huge job to do properly but i think i've figured it all out)
T-rex seat unit

I know Mick....

Brissy is as far south of the equator as we here in South Texas are north.

Your December thru March has a remarkable resemblance to our June- August.

In other words...Hell with the flames missing.

Put a new battery in the bike today.....I'm game down by logan.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2009, 01:38:29 am »

Hope you enjoy your stay KG. My bike is in bits but i am sure someone will accommodate you. If you find someone, get them to take you for a ride up Mount Tamborine, {its just south of you} great view from the top and usually plenty of hang gliders to check out as well as a great twisty ride..

Cheers...Mick

Thanks for the offer mate but its no where being finished. I have 2 and a half bikes that i am making one out of mate and i have to have the engine rebuilt, waiting on Mike Riecks billet block. I am building a 1000cc monster using Big Jays 1000cc forged pistons, i don't expect to have her finished for probably 6 months, there's still lots of mods to be done, this one will be a beauty. Once again, thanks for the offer..

Yeah well No Worries.

I'm around til March if you wanna shoot the #$%*.

Ran the bike out to Archerfield this afternoon.

I'm kinda looking for a project while here.

Maybe a 350 or 450 twin to cafe.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi KG, they are a little thin on the ground around here but i know a few guys so i willput the "feelers" out and see if i can come up with something for you..Send Dave 500 a private message, he is on the Gold Coast {just south of you} and has a 500/4 and would probably go for a ride and show you around a bit....

Up to 4 yrs according to Immigration....Silly Buggas will let anyone into Australia

Bought a 250 Virago to tinker with the other day.

Went to the Laverta Show up at Kangaroo Point last weekend and met the SOHC guys.

Was a good show.
