Topic: Hello from Clovis CA

[Jcold98]

hi, Im out of clovis CA and im 20 years old. im new to the forum and have recently picked up a bike id like to restore. This is my first motorcycle and ive tasked myself with the objective of trying to turn this 1978 cb750k with a 72 750 motor into a cafe style bike. I have lightly browsed the forums as a guest and am starting to find myself here more and more so ive decided to finally make an account. Ive also uploaded pictures of my bike from when i purchased it in june up to today where ive just installed the new handle bars.

Hello from Lake Superior,

Good start on the bike.

Welcome aboard did the early oil tank fit up easily?
 I think you have mismatched fork legs one early one , different internals.

No i was completely puzzled putting that tank on until I did the research, I have the correct one on the way now haha. But how can you tell the forks don't match up?

2nd pic the fork lower leg has a straight section with 2 holes on backside, for brake and fender mount. Used til 1972. If the  other side does not have it, its a later fork lower leg. Your brake looks like it has a 3 bolt mount, that would be 73 and later.

Looks like a fun project!
