CB750 in central London
« on: January 21, 2017, 10:41:34 AM »
Hello people of SOHC4!

I'm Joe, I work on a motoring television show, and I'e just bought a peach of a 750. 1976.

Hoping to use this forum as a place to learn the quirks of the bike, and to chat with likeminded project-people. Im going to simplify the look of the bike a little with a low profile seat, some dropped bars, and a fresh lick of paint. The carbs and brakes need an overhaul, but with a little manual priming its running nicely!

Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Welcome Joe.

Almost didn't recognize that as a F model due to the non standard seat and tank. Keep in mind as you source parts that the seat/tank fitment area for a F (longer tank) is different than your K tank so mixing and matching may be difficult. Looks like a good project ahead  :)
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
