Hi,

I recently purchased a 78 CB750K with some quirks, but I seem to like working on bikes almost more than riding.  My goal is to get a reliable commuter in its current form for this summer, then tear down for a café build over the winter.  Lots of great resources on the forum!

Welcome aboard,  from B.C.  hope you have fun on here.
 
Btw my buddy in Cowtown has a 78 with a sidecar on it, rough old beast, he has a bunch of 750s.

Welcome from Georgia U.S.A.

Pix of the steed would be nice
If it ain't raining, I'm riding.....~~{iii}?~~prost

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Frank,


It would be cool to get in touch with other 750 owners here in the Calgary area.  I’ve got a top-end oil leak I need to deal with eventually; recommendations on part sources here in Canada (western Canada)?

Frank told me you want a frame kit; that's why I tried to PM you. ;) Make one more post.

PM sent. Look near the top of the screen where it says "my messages". There should be a 1 there.

Just bought a '78 CB750K myself... am up in Edmonton myself.

The Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Club is a great resource, NORAL is the local chapter.
