Tech, I know when I first saw a pic of your KO on the forum I noticed your bars looked just about like mine.

Radam, I really enjoy riding with my two sons, lets us spend some time together. I started both out early on motorcycles so they love them and they really like these sohc4 750's. My goal is to have 3 CB750's so all three of us can go down the road on sohc4's ;D

 A few past threads and several days ago I was told by a couple other members I was showing favors toward my 750KO by riding it more than my K6. So being off work today I decided the K6 and me would cover a little asphalt.

Riding a CB works up a hunger so I stopped by Captain Toms for lunch, but found out they don't do lunch :(

Pulled in at the Staley, NC Sheriff dept/jail house to say hey. Mayberry is like New York City compared to this place. Just kidding, it's a nice little town ;D

Installed my 650 camshaft in my 550 last night.  Couldn't figure out why I was getting valve interference at TDC.... Lost some sleep last night over it.  Went home from work at lunchtime and pulled the rocker cover off, and I was off not one tooth, but TWO.  Got it buttoned up, will adjust valves after work and hopefully she'll fire up!

Here is a pic of my oldest son Jeff with my K6 while we had stopped for a few minutes along side Hwy 62 in Burlington,NC. on  a Sunday afternoon. On the way back in we switched up I rode the 6 and  he took the KO.We got back to the house we changed the oil in the 76.

I really need to start bugging johnie to let me ride his K0....

Yeah Hoo, Johnie's got so many 750's he needs help from somebody just to ride them all and keep the batteries charged up. I bet he wouldn't even miss his KO if it was gone for a little while ::) ::) Give him a call and let me know how it goes for you ;)

   Those Bars you have on the KO..are they K&N Superbike bars ?

I think they are European market bars, they look like mine.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
