New guy
« on: July 20, 2021, 01:49:19 PM »
Thanks for the add!  Not sure where to start, I'll be checking things out now that I'm "part of the club".  Quick FYI on me and the bike - 1970 CB750 I bought 45 years ago when in the USAF.  Been between my legs, by my side for a long time.  Custom paint, Action Four 836 kit, forks by Frank, Mulholland shocks, Barnett clutch - most of the work done in the late 1970's early 1980's.
