Greetings from Omaha
« on: May 26, 2009, 05:24:50 PM »
Hello everyone.  I'm a new owner of a 1974 CB750.  The bike was someone's cafe project, sat in a barn for a few years and needs a bit of work to get running...I'm hoping the wealth of knowledge and experience on this site will help me along. :)

I've owned many sport bikes in my life and currently have a dedicated track bike.  I have to say that I'm most looking forward to riding the CB...of the lot, it definitely has the most style.

Thanks for the welcome Matt...since I didn't get any responses, I haven't looked at the post in a while.  I ended up selling the CB750.  I needed way more time than I could devote and having a new child took priority.

I couldn't stay away from a vintage bike though and bought a really clean 73 CB350F.  Got the carbs and gas tank clean and got it running.  Currently, the main effort is finding an exhaust for it since it only has the stock headers.  If you have any ideas, let me know.

Thanks
