Noob from SLC
« on: October 30, 2014, 10:15:21 PM »
Hello all. I have been riding Honda motorcycles for almost 20 years. I've always had my eye on the classic CB750s and I finally got around to picking one up recently. I'm now the proud owner of a 1976 CB750K. It had been in storage for 5 plus years in storage, so it took a little work to get it started (many hours cleaning the carbs they were pretty nasty), but when I fired it up for the first time I was on cloud 9. I'm still trying to decide if I want to take it down to the frame and build it back up, or if I just want to get it running and ride it for a while before I tear it down. I think that I will start by replacing the fork seals and going through the brakes this winter. This forum has given me a lot of food for thought and many great examples of what can be done if you take the time and put the work in. I'm glad that I found this forum and all of the wonderful information that. Have found here. Thanks in advance to all.
