New member in Maine
« on: July 17, 2023, 08:01:36 AM »
Hello,
I joined up a few months ago before I even had a 750K8. Fast forward a bit and I've got a basket case (1978 CB750K) sitting in my shed!
Located in Maine, currently riding a 1978 CB400T II and a CRF300L for the dirt
Current Project: CB750-K6 (hoping for OEM look)
Future Project: CB750-K8  (likely go wild on this build)

Welcome gearsoup from NC.

Hope all goes well with your project.  I just completed a K8 myself:

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

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
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.

Are you perchance looking for some new fork ears for a K7/8? I heard a rumor...
