New Owner from Atlanta
« on: May 09, 2014, 02:03:58 PM »
Hey everyone,
i just picked up a 1972 CB750. I found a great builder and had him restore this bike for me with a few small customization's. I absolutely love the bike! I've had a couple bikes over the years. (Ninja 650R, CBR 1000) all were great fun, as any bike is, but they all lacked character. I wanted something that would retain its value and have a bike that I could pass down to my sons someday. I've noticed less clean CB's that haven't been chopped to pieces, I wanted something classy that doesn't change the original design of the bike. So here is my bike! Looking forward to spending more time on this forum.

Beautiful bike, sm8, and welcome. I'm new here, too, but have seen enough to know that this forum is a valuable asset when it comes to these bikes, lots of great information from knowledgeable people. Best of luck with your new CB750.  P.S. the pine needle mulch in your picture brought back memories of our house in Doraville, GA!

Thanks everyone! I'm super happy with how the bike turned out. Here is a better picture of the actual color of the bike. I went with an original Candy Gold with just a little more sparkle.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Hey Gang,
