New Member: First Bike, First Project - 1978 CB750

Hi, fellow enthusiasts!
After years of searching for the Holy Grail ('74 CB360), last year at VMD I bought a street-ready '78 CB750 for $450. It came "partially" cafe'd with clubman bars and a primer black rattle can paint job. Over the winter, I replaced the battery, wiring harness, and the voltage regulator. Cosmetically, I've added the center stand, bar end mirrors, went back to a stock seat, and added some checkerboard duct tape and the Punisher decal. It's a bit leaky, but a blast to ride!
This is my first post, but this forum has already been a great source of information and advice.

The CB360 was what dad had back when I was small enough to sit up front and hold the tank as we wound through town. He had the emerald green scheme.
