Hi from down south....
« on: April 02, 2018, 02:37:35 AM »
waaaaay down south.  New Zealand in fact.  I did have a login here years ago but it has gone so re-registered.  I've had a bunch of bikes over the years but the two I regret selling are the CB750K2 I picked up for reasonable money then sold, and a CB400F which I picked up as a rough runner and refreshed and rode a fair bit.  Some minor crisis caused me to sell it.

Anyway, I've just picked up a CB750K3 or K4, sight unseen except for photos, by doing the "I'll just bid on this to get close to the reserve to see what the guy wants for it.... oh crap I am leading the bidding and its met reserve..... oh crap, now I own it."  We've all done it (right??).  Anyway, it looks like a decent basis for a project, and very like one a friend had back in the early 80's.  Goal is to get it to a decent rideable, not restored state, and just ride it around.  Like 20 year old me did (with a CB750F1) in the early 80's.  I'll sign up for the gallery and throw some photos up when the bike arrives.  currently in transit.

I've seen a few ideas in the forums already, and I am sure I will have more questions.

Cheers people. :)
