Iowa Newb
« on: March 07, 2014, 10:26:23 AM »
Hey all, I've been a KZ550 rider for the last few years and just sold it for my new 78 CB550k "project" I use the term loosely as it only needs a clutch and carb rebuild, new front tire and throttle assembly. But for only $200 how could one go wrong... All of my experience is in vintage American cars, so this should be a nice change. Great site here

Hi Cougar,

Welcome to the site.  I am in the Cedar Rapids area, so only a couple hours drive from you.  Our son still goes to college in Ames (go Cyclones!), so we do make it out your way every so often.

I have a couple of 1976 CB750Fs, so I won't be so much help on your bike.  You can find all the help here that you could ever want on this forum, just remember to attach pictures when you ask a question!
Toys:
2 - 1976 CB750F1 - someday projects

1973 Mustang Convertible - Restoration needed
