Hello from Michigan!
« on: December 21, 2023, 06:47:28 PM »
I purchased a CB750A 2 summers ago, and last summer I put a custom draw through turbo kit on it, after a thousand miles of 10-15lbs of boost, I finally blew the head gaskets. I plan to rebuild the engine this summer with some upgrades and hoping for close to 100 Crank HP after the build. Hopefully documenting some of my work along the way.

I also own 2 other bikes, A KTM Duke 890 GP, and a Honda V65 Sabre, Hoping to fix up the Sabre and flip it this summer, flipped a KZ650 last summer and made some good money.

Cheers,
Kaleb

Welcome from Texas.  What lake is that?  I typically travel to MI every summer to beat the heat.

Start a thread in "Project Shop" to document your project so we can follow along.

That was at Whitmore Lake, North of Ann Arbor, Been on the lookout for good roads since I currently live in Detroit.

That's a great idea, I wish I had taken more photos between then and now, but if I start it now, I should be able to document the future!

I've been in that area, 7 Mile Rd is a good ride....
