Ok here I go
« on: July 19, 2020, 04:01:54 PM »
Hello Everyone.I just purchased  a 1975 Honda CB750F and will be building it into a Cafe Racer.The bike is in a rough shape and I am new to the world of vintage bikes and carburetors so I am a little intimidated.So far it's been fun just trying to figure out how it all works.I'm not new to motorcycles in general but I haven't owned a street bike in 10 years,I've only done track days.My other bike is a track only 08  Yamaha YZFR6.I hope to take adventage of the wealth of knowledge here and maybe make my bike into something half way decent in the process.Thank for having me.
