Just another new guy
« on: December 08, 2010, 04:00:59 PM »
Just thought I would finally post something from up here in Idaho.  I have been reading and searching this site for months and getting boat loads of info and ideas.  I got my hands on a sweet 750K3 that was loved and taken well care of.  The only thing I found not original was the paint, pipes/muffler, and no badges.  20K on the clock.  Owner did not have key for her but the motor turned over and he had a title so I brought another Honda home.  Already started full tear down so I know I will be posting for assistance here.  Was thinking of Cafe'n it, but I might just bring her back to original.   Heres a pic hopefully it loads.  Cheers    :)

Thanks.  SOHC4 is super cool, I just can't stop reading and checking threads out.  The info, knowledge, and how nice people are welcome to see.  Never thought I would be wrenchin on a classic but here I am.  I am mostly a dirt bike guy.  Honda 450 is my weapon of choice.  Wife rides the 250.  Do all my motor rebuilds and work so I am thinking this old girl shouldn't be to bad.   I just can't make up my mind about what I want to do with it.  In the mean time I know I want the frame powdercoated.  A stock bike would be great, but those cafes look rad too.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(
