Hey everyone. This forum is sweet, I am especially stoked on the project bike forum, i plan to be posting there sometime soon. I picked up a 1971 CB750 for 200 dollars recently. It was in decent condition for the price, ran pretty rough but i put 20 or so miles on it riding around my house before deciding to try and restore it at school.
I have access to a machine shop and sandblaster (hooray for being a mechanical engineering major) so that should help things along. Here is what it basically looked like when i bought it, although the headlight is off because i had to fix some of the wiring behind it.
then i had to get it to school, but the only way i could was in my 1991 BMW 318is, which is not a big car. so i took the interior out of the car, which resulted in this.
so now its at school, and i started tearing down the rear wheel/hub because the rim was really rusty, and i figured i would replace everything back there while i was at it. So i have a bunch of questions about wheels, like what the hell mine is, since it's weirdly shaped, and is a 17x3 i think. Also, where can i get a new one. or if mine is safe to use despite having been rusty. I'll take better pictures of the wheel and post them in this thread so you guys can see what I'm talking about.
Anyway, I'm excited to be a part of this forum, and look forward to getting by bike back together for this spring. Thanks, Ned.
