Hey everyone I’m new to the motorcycle world and I have a 74 CB750. I wanted to pick y’all’s brains as to how you lift the rear wheel? I got the bike without the center stand and have read that it gets in the way when leaning so I’m insure of replacing it. Please share your thoughts.

Welcome aboard the forum and the 750 Yahroz

I've not had a problem dragging the centerstand, now or back in the 70s when I really got deep in the corners.

Without a centerstand you will need to fashion some pins to use a track stand to get your wheels off the ground.

I don't know if a 78 will work on your 74.
The frames are different on 1977 and 78 and there was a centerstand change also in 77.
