Topic: Lurker with K4 coming out of the shadows

[Boatbiker]

Hello SOHC'ers.   I've been tearing down a '74 CB750K4 that I was given, getting a lot of info from here along the way, but haven't posted.  Thank you all for what I have learned.

Background: I have some experience with major maintenance and partial rebuilds to keep rat bikes running, and I ride an original(ish) '69 Triumph 250 on nice days, which requires some mechanical good ju-ju, I guess.  Plus I maintain my daily driver '05 BMWR1200GS myself, so I am so-so capable, but far from skilled or experienced. Now, as I take this Honda apart, I find that it appears to be very original, undamaged, and correct, less the exhaust of course, and front turn signals. So, I am thinking I would like to bring it back to fairly close to original. (Caveat: this assessment is only based on what I have gleaned from this site and from the http://honda750expert.com/ site.)

Let me mention one more thing before I start with my questions.  I realize, and am greatly appreciative, that every question that anyone could ever have about a CB750 had probably been answered somewhere in this forum. One can search and find a huge amount of info about every nut, bolt, gasket, spring, screw, and widget on a CB750; that is extremely useful. 
As a result of this existing thoroughness, I sometimes see people say things like "This is widely discussed – follow this thread...and this one etc..." - May I gently suggest that this can seem to somehow slightly dampen the communal nature of a Forum.  Part of what I want is interaction here. So if I ask a purely technical question that is well addressed elsewhere, please direct me; but if I am ruminating about issues which merit discussion, please give me your input.

So, with that being said, where should I post my general questions about finishes for frame, motor, tank and side panels?

Also, how do I change my profile?  I have found links on this saying "Go to profile and change it", but when I go to "Profile" I see my bare bones information, but no "Edit" option or button to change or add to my profile...

THanks!

Welcome! Since the search function has been down I've been using Google. I tend to type in forums.sohc4.net and then add in some key words after that. Works pretty well for me.  Rick
