New ish Member, "brand new" bike
« on: September 01, 2020, 11:45:41 AM »
I thought I would re post an intro as I finally got my 1982 CB 750 last week! I'm loving it. The person I bought it from is a bike mechanic and kept it in great shape. It has a small windscreen that I'm very much enjoying as it keeps the wind off my chest when I go fast. I'd love any tips or tricks to maintain at the best way possible sent my way, and thanks for everyone's help!

I'm searching for a backrest/sissy bar-- any suggestions?

I'm in West Michigan.

Howdy
Your 82 is a DOHC so you need to join a DOHC forum for parts and questions as this is a SOHC forum(single over head cam).....
