Hi,
        I live in Newfoundland Canada and I recently bought this 1978 CB750K. It's in pretty good shape and I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get it between my legs.

If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !

Thanks for the nice welcome.
I was told this would be an awesome place to check out.
Those bags came with the bike.
The previous owner bought them at a flea market for $30.00(CAD)
They are an old set of Willie and Max saddle bags (www.willieandmax.com).
I put 60 new studs on them and with a coat of Doc Baileys(www.docbailey.com) they look new.
As for the color, not somethig I would pick but it's too good to remove. Maybe I'll have to paint it next year after my first year of riding !!! :)

Welcome.  Great bike!  Looks like it's pretty pristine.  Here's hoping for some warm weather coming your way.
