Forgot to introduce myself...
« on: October 25, 2009, 08:09:25 PM »
Signed up a few days ago. Already had a couple of questions answered on the forums, so thanks already! Just got my 78 750 for a hundred dollars off of craigslist. So far I have spent another 130 getting her rideable. Still needs alot to be 100%, but I am loving this bike! Plan to do a full cafe racer conversion over the next 6-12 mo. My first bike was a 2000 Yamaha R6 that I rode hard every day(sold it to pay tickets, go figure), so I like the  idea or a classic, fast, and fun bike. One that wont get me in quite as much trouble, hopefully!  If anyone knows the correct cable lengths for clubman bars, that would put my mind at ease a bit. I am a trained motorcycle mechanic, but any knowledge you guys got, I would appreciate!. Here is what she looked like when I brought her home...
And a video of the Gorilla after I first got her runnin...
And one of my first rides up and down the street...

So she is coming along... Cant wait to have it all titled and what not so I can actually get out on the road. Better to work out the kinks close to home, I guess!

Greetings from cold snowy Colorado.

Sounds tight and damn good especially for $100. Don't think I'd worry about the cam chain. They all make one degree or another of noise. 
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Thanks for the welcome, guys. And good to get someone else's opinion on my cam chain. I did get it to quiet down a bit... Good to know they are a little noisy. I will keep you all posted on the progress, once I get some new parts, that is!
