Good to be here - '77 750K in VA
« on: April 27, 2010, 09:02:46 AM »
Hey all! I've got a 1977 CB 750k that I am currently working on getting up and running.
Eventually, I hope to turn it into a sweet cafe bike as I get more money.
Any advice/opinions/experience is welcome. That's why we're all here right?
Wish me luck!

YES!!!! I HAVE SPARK! After a couple of weeks of working on this thing I think I'm finally getting close to starting it!
I did a valve lash, cam chain adjust, fully rebuilt the carbs and replaced a couple busted parts on 'em, and rewired the coils. I haven't had a chance to start it yet. But hopefully there's ignition and all I have to do is tune the carbs.

Thanks again to you guys! I probably wouldn't have gotten this far without you!
