This is my first post and I live in Woodstock, GA. I purchase 1974 CB 750 in December. It is Boss Maroon, original except for extended front tubes and was in storage for 10 years, I was told. I got it running the same week, but have not ridden. I had one just like it in 1976 and sold it in the early 1980's. My favorite bike of all times. I remember the first one I saw in 1969; was a student at Western Kentucky University. I also have 1974 all original CL 200 (probably 20 years), made one year only, one color (bluish green). Also have a 1982 XR 200 and a 2003 yellow Honda 4 wheeler. I also collect antique toy John Deere tractors and real ones also: 47 Farmall H, 52 John Deere A, and 57 Ford 640 that was my Dad's. My first Honda was a new 1964 CA 200 (pushrod 90). I have had a Super 90 along the way, two 305 Superhawks, and one SL 350. Does anyone remember these models? I may have a few 750 questions later. The 750 will clean up great; everything works, tank is rusty, aluminum reeds polishing, I have the original front tubes, master cylinder needs rebuilding and other minor issues. I have already read many of the formums on the topics.

Welcome! My grandfather is a retired farmer and we are in the process of slowly restoring his 1939 John Deere B.

Welcome from frigid Canada eh'  8)

My family also has antique tractors, all red iron. I like working on the old tractors but I find that working on these bikes, the parts are a lot lighter  ;)
