CB750K3 Roanoke
« on: August 18, 2018, 02:05:37 PM »
Hey guys! I am 25 and bringing back to life a 1973 CB750. It will hopefully be my first road motorcycle. I live in Roanoke, VA and am going back to school for occupational therapy, plus working part time at a local powersports dealer. My bike is up at my grandparents' shop in an old barn, at the moment, and I document my build mainly on my instagram account @themotobarn. After help from this forum and tech write ups, I just got the old girl running! It needs a lot of parts and work still, but I thoroughly enjoy learning and building!

Welcome from NE MN.

The treasure hunt for parts does take patience and perseverance.

Welcome from Richmond. One hint, it will run better with carbs  ;)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
