 Hey there
 I'm new to the site, but not new to Honda Fours.
 I worked at a Honda dealer from 1971 thru 1977, so I used to put these bikes together out of the crates.
 I picked up a 1976 CB750F last year, the bike I wanted when I worked at the dealer, but couldn't afford. It only had 8500 miles on it, and was all original and in excellent shape except for the holes in the bottom of the muffler.
 I found this site while looking for a new exhaust for my F. I saw a few members mention they had Dunstall exhausts on their bikes, so I went hunting.
 I found a NOS Dunstall slip-on on EBay that was as good as new, with the hardware still in the box! I'm very happy with the looks and sound. I added some extra glass packing, sounds great, and not too loud.
 Looking forward to hanging out here...
 Doug

Welcome! Judging by your stable and background I would say that you will fit in fine around here!

Whoa that's a pretty "F" you have there, let's just run down the list of things you need to be a forum member.
1) Love bikes
2) Love old bikes
3) Esp love old SOHC4 Hondas
4) Single or wishing to become single again (optional but a real possibility)
5) Spend far too much time on your computer
6) Spend far too much time in the shed/garage
7) Would rather buy another old clapped out bike than go to Hawaii for a holiday. :D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Thanks
 And right now I'm making plans to go to AMA Vintage Days at Mid-Ohio.
 Went to the very first one at the museum site and have only missed 2 since.
 I told my wife I wont be bringing home any more fixer-uppers, but I didn't say anything about nice runners.
