Hello from Canada!
« on: January 22, 2023, 09:03:08 AM »
Hello all! I've been lurking a bit here and there over the past year or so but figured it was time to introduce myself, my name is Russ, I'm from Vernon British Columbia, thanks for this amazing forum, lots of great information here.
I've been reading and soaking up as much knowledge as I can.

I'm new to CB750's, I'm currently working on a K8 SLOWLY it's been a hectic couple of years but I'm finally getting time to get back to it a bit more regularly.
The bike is currently totally disassembled but reassembly has started at least  ;D
This is not my first CB750 but the first I've wrenched on.
I promise I'll get a couple of pics up ASAP.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, I'll get my gallery and project post up right away, it's so easy to fall down the rabbit hole every time I'm in here. I'm easily distracted  ;D

Thanks! I think they are undervalued and a super ride. I have a lot of parts from a few bikes that were too far gone, if you need anything. Cheers, John D.
