Hi from York, South Carolina
« on: September 02, 2025, 06:18:35 PM »
Picked up a CB750K4 that was a chopper mod and the frame had not been cut. Returning the bike to stock and I'm close to having it on the road after a year off and on. I've never owned a bike before much less restored one.

 Having a great time now that I'm retire. 35 years in aviation and 25 years with GE Aerospace. A&P mechanic.

I build wooden boats too.
Cheers

Welcome from the Lowcountry of SC. Ive got green 74 and a 74
 untitled roller parts bike that hasn't seen the road since 85.
 We have become so overbuilt here that
 I don't ride much at all anymore.
 If you need something I might have it but your still 3 hours away. Im in Bluffton.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
