Hello from Vermont - 1974 CB750
« on: July 12, 2015, 04:36:14 PM »
Hello 8),

I am the proud new owner of a '74 CB750 ! I am 46 and own a few old Brit bikes as well as an H-D Sportster and have always wanted a SOHC 750/4. I like all of the fours from 350-500-550 as well. I found my 750 locally and just as it was listed on CL.....vigilance pays off ! It was used as a parts bike but was a runner a few years ago. Anyhow, glad to be here and looking forward to getting my bike back on the road !

Cheers,
Jon

Welcome from Texas.   Looks like you've got a good starting point.  Just losing that seat will make it look even better!

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Welcome from Tucson Az.  Looks like you have great start.  Mine had a seat like that as well, got it replaced, looks totally different.  Good luck!
