hello all!

i have been frequenting the forums alot but never posted, i figured i would start here. im a 20 year old aircraft mechanic. im new ot the honda sohc4 but not to motorcycles. currently i have a 76 cb750 supersport that i purchased about 2 months ago. i bought the bike bone stock with 21,000 miles on it and i am finishing my cafe build on it. i also have a 66 cl160 that i tinker with when im bored or not too busy. so far this forum has been a big help, and i know you all will help me get out of some binds im going to have.

hey thanks, the carbs are stock, jetted to 120 w/ pods. what part of town are you in? the bike still needs some rough edges smoothed. i still have to wet sand and buff the tank, finish the seat cover for the rear section of the seat, and clean up little odds and ends.

I'm over on the east side- anderson township area, you?  How long have you been interested in bikes?

Greetings from Colorado.

I was admiring your before pixs and then I saw your after pixs. Good looking work. Hang on to your stock pieces or save them for us. Looks like they were in nice shape especially the tank, seat and exhaust. Many are damn near irreplaceable.

i still have all of my stockers. the exhaust looks brand new, i almost didnt want to take it off.

Welcome, Mike! I'm down in the Louisville area. I almost cried when I noticed those were "before" pics but it looks like you're doing good work on it. I have a '78 F so i might be interested in some of your stock parts. Keep up the good work!

New Guy!  I, too, am a New Guy from Cin~City... Beautiful ride (before & after)... I am also new to the CBs.  I just aquired my first CB750 and am in the process of a Cafe conversion... We just got back from Mid-Ohio this past weekend and I'm getting the ball rolling immediately... wish me luck...

Welcome as well "T."  I'm getting ready to go up to mid-ohio this weekend.  What part of town are you from?

Hey Mike, what kind of aircraft do you work on?  Did you go up to Dayton last weekend?  I love planes- my pops worked on f-18s when he was in the service.  He got me hooked.

I am also in Cincinnati, near the UC campus in Clifton.  I can't seem to find a place to work on my bike...

[jpc002]

I run around clifton area sometimes.  My friend lives by cincinnati state.

MikeD you still on here?!

[RFogelsong]

@everyone from cincy,

Great to see our city turning out.  I'm living just off UC's main campus in Clifton with a CB550 (although it's currently in a barn back home for the winter).  Hit me up once the weather breaks if anyone wants to meet up/ride.
