Greetings from Ohio USA!
« on: October 30, 2021, 04:16:22 PM »
Hello, Scott here!  I typically work on Honda V4s (Magna, Sabre, Interceptor) but am branching out out into the older bikes.  Currently have a '74 CB550F Super Sport on the lift table and a CB650 in the garage waiting it's turn.  Looking forward to participating here!

Welcome to the fun!
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
