Hello from Oshkosh, WI
« on: June 15, 2024, 11:17:10 AM »
Hi all, MTU MET student here who has now found himself in the classic Honda game again.

I had briefly owned a '71 CD175 and CL450 which now has come back in the form of a '76 CB750K6. I recently picked the bike up from a garage sale coated in dust and no real story on its history other than their word on some accessories that had been switched out like a pair of ape hangers, extended forks, two up seat, etc. Now 100% original and unmolested apart from a full Hooker 4-1 exhaust and some temp bars at the moment. Looking forward to the future the bike and my journey along with it.

Humbling really. Your K6 is the same spec and everything as mine too. Sure hope mine cleans up to live up to that one. Beautiful bikes

I just noticed that you listed the color as Boss Maroon in your signature. The K6 is Anteres Red.
