I have been riding motorcycles since 1963 (was 14 then) and plan on riding until I'm too old to keep from falling over! My Grandfather rode until his middle 80's, so I need to go for 90. I currently have two Honda motorcycles: a 1977 CB750K and a 1980 CM400T. I just bought the "K" on my birthday (4/9) and am in the process of getting it ready to ride this summer. I don't have a clue as to how this forum (or any) works, I was using Google to search for a headlight and was directed to this website. From the few posts I've read so far it looks like a great place for people to help each other out. I should have done this yesterday as I spent half the day trying to separate the air box halves to replace the air filter! Another 750 owner said he welded a nut on the end of the recessed bolt to hold it from spinning. I had to drill mine out and insert a flat piece of metal and JB Weld to fix mine! I've been married since 1968, have 3 sons and 5 grandchildren. My wife turned 60 last year and I believe she has given up on riding anymore. I don't blame her; I fell over (twice) last January trying to ride another Honda home at night after the big ice storm. I don't ride in the ice and snow anymore. It's only stupid when you do it over again. I've owned dozens on Honda's, several Harley's ('51, '61 & '71), 3 BMW's, a Matchless 500 single, several Yamaha 650's and on 500 single, a CZ, a BSA 441 Victor and one Suzuki 650 single. Those are the ones I can remember. I'm looking forward to finding new friends with a common interest in these old 750 Honda's. Mike
