Hi! from Fresno California
« on: July 06, 2025, 06:18:33 PM »
Glad to be here! I have been a long time car guy and got bit by the motorcycle bug almost 2 years ago, since then I have bought several! my latest purchase is a 1976 Honda CB750 with about 28K miles. nice original bike, looks like it was well cared for, super stoked the original pipes are in great shape! It was last registered in 1997. I pulled the carbs off and they were nasty! I will working on getting it back on the road by the end of August. I will probably be asking some help questions, looks like I found a good place! thanks for having me, have a great day!

Welcome aboard the forum CD
Is the 76 a K model, or a F model(Supersport).
Or an automatic A?

Very cool. Be sure to include that it's a K6 in the questions you ask so you get the correct answers (as you have seen in your quest for side covers).
And pictures always help.

I had a new K6 that I bought in August of 76 and put 45,000 miles on it before selling it in 1983(still kicking myself for selling it!) I now have four K6 projects in the queue to get going and restore.
