intro from new hampshire
« on: February 10, 2019, 04:15:40 PM »
my current obsession and winter project is this 1975 cb750k. i guess i got bored with 20 years of the harley thing and needed something different, so i ended up here. after all, its where i started in the 80's. i have been on this site for a couple days and the information here is unbelievably helpful and i would like to thank you for its existence.

thank you to all for the kind welcome....i failed to mention that the bike has been sitting for several years and doesnt run. i have the carbs removed and trying to figure out weather to attempt to rebuild myself or send them out to someone.

If you are a gluten for punishment, as I am, do it yourself.

But once I get them dialed in, I'll feel better about myself

Hey there corniglio
I too am from NH, Milford, I also have a 75, in blue. I should be back in Milford in a month from my winter rideabout, left last October and spent the winter in San Diego. Getting ready to get on the road in a week and a half. I've been missing my 750 as there was a 750 group ride from L.A. up the coast to the Quail Gathering the beginning of May for the 50th anniversary of the 750.
Did you get your carbs rebuilt yet and your bike on the road?
