I found it last year while surfing for info on my bike and I think this is the most valuable info I have come across relating to Honda 750 Fours.

I actually found this via Steve "Carpy" Carpenter's old site when I was trying find a single iota of information regarding my Tracy Body.  Glad y'all put this here site up there on the InnnnerNet.  Thanks!

I used to participate in the greenspun forums, until they died. After a couple months of starving for any SOHC 4 conversation, Bob Wessner told me in an e-mail about the new board. Ahh... life is good! 8)

Thanks, Bob!

I found it with Google looking for info. Found the old Greenspun forum. It was great, though now that I'm used to this I find this better. Anyway, the other one was free (for hosting) so nothing to complain about. The Greenspun's were very kind letting people using their resources for free.

Actually, the Greenspun forum was the first thing to appear when a co-worker decided to look for a group of friends in the Internet. He said "let's look for you in the internet" and searching for my name the Greenspun forum popped up, with all my signatures. He discovered that I was posting at work time, but anyway, what was he doing at worktime looking for people on the Internet?    ;D

Was a member of the old mailing list and after a week or so of not getting any mail went to the site to see what was going on.  Figured everyone was trying to hide from me and my lowley 650.

Ah, hell...been a member of this devoted band of cammers since 94 when the initial announcement was
made up on the old usenet wreck.motorcycles newsgroup.

Hey, along those lines, has anyone heard from Rene vanMaanen or some of the european contingent
lately?

Haven't even seen them posting on the mailing list.

Thankfully, another member was on cycle world's website and suggested I check this out. I'm now addicted...and my manage isn't too happy with you that my productivity is basically all gone.  :)

I was on the previous sohc4.com site, then visited the greenspun and now this one. I originally found the site by web search.

It was listed by Classic Bike magazine.  They now recognize Japanese bikes as a real force.  (Maybe the Dark Force?).

I could have voted for both Google and Greenspun. About 2 years ago I Googled 'CB750 K0' and the Greenspun site showed up. Followed that to this wonderful site!  :D

   Found the Greenspun forums 4 or 5 years ago while searching for info on my bike. It's the best thing that could have happened to me at the time. I had just started riding again 2 years earlier after a long time away from it and was determined to do any of the work the bike needed myself. The wealth of information and knowledge on the old forums and now these has allowed me to do just that.

Looking for parts and knew that the discussion boards are the best places for locating them.
