Hello from Brisbane, Australia
« on: June 24, 2015, 12:30:05 AM »
Hi ladies and gentlemen,
My name is Nelson and I'm from Brisbane, Australia. I purchased a CB750 SOHC last year and I'm slowly been undoing the damage the previous owner had done >:(

So far I've replaced the clutch, had the head overhauled, replaced the carbs with Keihin CR29's, piston rings and a few electrical repairs. Wouldn't of gotten as far as I have without the knowledge that is on this site so a big thank you to everyone.

It's satisfying to slowly see an old beauty breathe back to life  ;D
I haven't finished my account yet, I'll try and get around to it this week.

Regards,

Welcome mate, as you've discovered there's a wealth of knowledge here, so if you're a SOHC CB750 fan, you're in the right place. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
