Newbie from Texas
« on: June 25, 2008, 12:14:34 PM »
Hi all.  I'm excited to find this forums.  Last night I picked up a '75 750CB that hasn't run since 1994.  I'm about to do a full scale restoration on the bike, I'm excited and ready to get started!

Just wanted to take a sec and do the intro.  Also, here are some pics of the project.

Picked it up last night... You sure found this place in a hurry  ;D

Welcome aboard jeez  8)

The paint on the engine cases looks rather fresh. Did the PO do any work to it that you know of?

No, I literally pulled it out of the back of a storage shed.  He also had a GL1000 in there as well, but he wanted some cash for that one.  It looks like it had 2 new tires just put on it (they are rotten now, though).   I have all the parts and right now, it looks like the only thing that really can't be salvaged is the exhaust pipes.

+1 Howdy from Texas.  Actually, its an ongoing debate as to whether Austinites are actually Texans, but all the same.  Welcome.
