Hello all, just picked up a 78 cb750K, with 22,944 miles on it. Been riding my 83 cb650sc for the last year, & before that, hadn’t ridden since 02. Rode Norton motorcycles for decades & sold my last three in 2012.
The 78, is is good shape, one owner, a Harley mechanic for Norfolk HD for 30 years. Not wanting to deal with getting it started for the first time, took it my friends shop & it passed the compression test, with a score of 180 across the board! Once the carbs are cleaned, it’s going on the dyno, and ran through the gears, easily & tuned ! Then it’s new shoes time with inspection of spokes, bearings & brakes, then neck bearings. Not sure if I’ll just replace the 630 or go for the 530 conversion, though at some point will.
First ride will be with the fairing & then will make my decision on nay or stay!
Am in Richmond va., and will be riding all around Va, then heading out west to see my family in Wa.
