Hi from WI
« on: February 23, 2015, 08:55:49 AM »
Hi everyone, I just picked up a 1977 cb750k. My uncle bought it new and was killed in a house fire several years ago. I thought it needed a better home than a dusty shed so I rescued it. Its pretty complete, has a few aftermarket parts like the seat and bars but other than that it looks origional. It needs tires, chain, sprockets, carbs rebuilt and front brake caliper rebuilt all of which I will do myself. Im excited to have a bike again for spring. Thanks in advance for all the help and info I will be getting from this site.

Welcome!

Bike with a story is the best.

Good luck with your rebuild.

That is how I got my 74

My uncle bought it off the line and chopped it up. He passed from a heart attack last year

Little Chute...we have another member Jerry in Kimberly with a flawless CB750K2 and another Trevor (hoodleyhoo) from Neenah with a very nice K6. Good to have another member from the Fox Valley.
