Hey, I've been searching the forum for a while now. Thanks for all of the great info.
I have a 1976 CB750K (with 60K miles) that a friend gave to me. It ran pretty terrible, so I decided to take it apart.
Well, as I'm sure you can imagine, one thing lead to another and I now have a garage full of used parts from the first bike and a bunch of other stuff I have purchased to try and get her back on the road as cheaply as possible.
This has been a really fun process so far. The funny thing is, I don't really know how to ride very well. I rode her probably 150 miles total before she left me stranded on the side of the road - not fun. Since then it has been nothing but cleaning parts and scouring e-bay and craigslist to try to find deals on useful items. I have a ton of questions
about suspension and brakes. I'll try to figure out where I'm supposed to ask 'em. Anyway... I look forward to learning something and maybe contributing to the forum one day.
I am a mechanical engineer by day and a father of three kids (2.5 year old twins and an 8 month old) so I have basically no time for anything. But working in the garage is a nice break that I look forward to. If you live anywhere nearby and have any useful front end or rear disc brake parts - I'd love to look at 'em. Otherwise thanks for reading...
