Hellos folks
« on: June 01, 2007, 01:17:56 PM »
i've browsed the forums here a couple of times and gotten some good info off of it, and now i figure i better log in and start taking part.

i've got a few bikes, and don't have the time to get involved in forums for all of them, but the one that keeps me coming here is a 79 cb650.
i'll be going over to the tech section soon to let you guys know what's going on, and hopefully get some advice.

gotta go to work, i'll be back.

i don't have any pics as of yet, and i'm not overly technologically advanced, i'll figure it out eventually.

i don't know why it slipped my mind before, i guess because i'm not working on them right now, but i also have a 75 and 76 cb750s. i don't expect to get both of them running as one was seized, and most likely will have to salvage parts from it to get the other one going.

i think i have a few spare minutes to tell you all about my 650 woes, so i'm off to the tech section now.
