Hi, i'm a new member to the Club and, (I'm impressed by the level of expertise members; from my reading many of the threads/posts). Decided to get back to riding after a long hiatus so, i picked up a 1975 CB750F (All stock) in Nov. 2022.  Currently doing all overdue Maintenace and Servicing. Looking forward to my future reading and interactions with you.

Nice.  Kerker is period correct.  New exhaust system is next on my list for restoration. Would you know a reliable vendor where i can source one?  I've seen the interest in the Delkevic, but have not heard the sound(s).  How does it compare to the Kerker?

Kerker is available through Dynoman albeit very expensive

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
