I thought I would start with some pictures. 1976 CB750F bought by my Dad in 1995. Taught himself how to ride on it. He had a great summer. Jan 1996 he passed away. Mom had no idea what to do with his bike, so I said "what the heck, I'll take it "(that's not what I really said-I don't want to be banned from the site). Fast forward to today, still got it. Has electrical issues-just needs completly rewired to fix the almost 2 volt drop throughout the electrical system. Runs well otherwise. My job as a refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning service tech. means that in summer I am too busy at work to mess with it. This year I didn't even get a chance to get it inspected-made time to ride it around a little to charge the battery ;). Although I know how to fix a lot of things on cars, I am no master mechanic. I look forward to bugging you with some problems.

Welcome, Nice looking bike. Your voltage drop may be just dried up ignition, and kill switch. It's tedious but the switches can be cleaned up.
Keep the Shiny side up!

People get maddest when I've told the truth.
