Good day, fellow members.

I'm approaching the 74th year of life and retired from working with a bunch of dummys in 2013 (healthcare training aids, like CPR manikins and patient simulators; manikins!).

Bought this 1970 CB750 in the summer of '73; chopped it with an American Motorcycle Enginering (AMEN) savior frame in 74/5. Made some aesthetic changes over the years. Designed the forward controls and had them rough cut. Finished and polished by hand. Added custom paint and chrome ten years ago or so.

Rode it about three weeks ago when it warmed up here. Now stuck in timing land because it won't go past the F mark.

Glad to be here and see all the expertise on these early models. I've an '83 Goldwing Aspencade GL1100A. Starting issue with that. Maybe I'll get edumacated before spring so they'll both run.

Cheers,

Warren

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!

Thanks for the greetings, guys. I have a number of photos to post, but my biggest problem is my old phone died two weeks ago and the new one still hasn't downloaded the batch from icloud. I'll get some newer photos or figure out how to shrink the files on the old ones so they'll post.

Cheers

I wondered about the screen name choice from your 1st post.....now answered.....

As to your pics being too big, same for me. What I've been doing is to screen shot my pictures and they work(after screen shot I crop the picture to be full size without any extra border)
