New member from Franconia PA
« on: May 07, 2008, 02:28:45 PM »
Hello all. New forum member from Franconia, PA.

I own a '78 CB750K with 17000 miles, almost all of which I've put on it. You see I bought it as the third owner in 1979 and have owned it since. The two previous owners were good friends of mine.

As you can tell with 17000 on it I don't ride it much. About 500 a year and it's seen a few years with no activity. Would have sold the bike about 20 years ago but the wife won't let me. Now after owning it for nearly 30 years I doubt I'll ever sell it.

It's in pretty good shape and nearly all original. It has a fearing which can be removed in minutes with no ill effects. The original seat has been in storage since the second week the bike was bought being replaced by an after market and it also has a sissy bar which makes the wife happy. All could be removed again with no ill effects to originality. I still have the original seat in storage which looks like new except the HONDA on the back has darkened.

Other that that it's got a Martek electronic ignition module, yes I still have the original points and point plate in like new condition, and I'm on my second set of tires and about to buy the third. The original exhaust is and has been shot for years but it is still on.

Welcome from upstate NY. How about some pictures? I'd like to see what she looks like.
