New to forum. Saying hi from Atl, GA. Ride a CB750K
« on: February 18, 2009, 09:42:25 AM »
Hi! ;D
I ride a 1970 Honda CB750. My father bought it in 1971 and rode it until I was born in 1977. It then sat in a garage for 30 years until I decided to restore it. Still have some things to do to it, but its running like a champ. A few mods are the 4 to 1 Jardine exhaust, Barnett clutch, Dynatek ignition, and the carbs are from a 74 model to get the 4-1 cable system.

Im usually riding around town in Atlanta (Vortex/Highlands) but have taken the bike to Thunder Beach in PCB which was a blast.

Look forward to participating here!
TJ

Welcome from sunny San Diego!   Heard ya'll had some hail today :o   

I used to live in Atlanta and know a good mechanic that has a 750.   He helped me rebuild my 550 last year.   He's in the East Atlanta area I think and likes working on old Hondas if you need a hand or parts.   I'll get his info to you if you want.   

That's great you got your Dad's old bike, I wish my Pops had kept his 350 :'(

Or my Mom's Hondamatic ;D

Take care

-Tim

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Thanks. Its nice and sleek and runs cleanly along the side of the bike. Its almost as old as the bike. It sounds awesome with the baffle in but with the baffle out its one of the loudest pipes Ive heard.
