Hello from Texas
« on: March 16, 2017, 08:47:38 PM »
Hello y'all:

Marcus from Kemah, TX here, I have a 1976 cb750K.  Bought a frame with a "rebuilt" motor in it that was never started and boxes of parts.  I've got it to the wiring stage and am feeling overwhelmed with which wire is which wire is which wire. 

I wanted a bike for a long time and went from Aprillas to Buells, etc. then I came across the "cafe" style or cb750ks and it brought back memories of my dad's bike, 72 or 73 cb750k.  So I chased a few bikes and didn't get them which is fine because they weren't what I really wanted...my birth year cb750k. 

Currently on the struggle bus with this site and wiring my bike.  Can someone please help me with updating my profile (want to change name) - system won't let me, all my searches come up empty, and I can't click on a name of someone.

Welcome from Pearland!

Not sure you can change your "name/handle" on the Forum.
Probably have to delete the account and start over.
The Search function on this Forum does not work.
I think Glen needs more HP in his PC to create the search database.
