Topic: New from PA

[TruTred]

Hello all,

Born & raised Western PA.  Living about 40 miles north west of Pittsburgh
Not my first bike but first one to do work on. Previous '82 Kaw 440LTD, '79 Suz GS750, '87 Aspencade  Loved them all.  Sold the GoldWing last to pay for honeymoon.

Here's my recent acquisition '75 CB750K

as bought


currently (more or less)


Anxious to get on road and ride again.

Welcome,  look like you have some holey(holy ) exhaust pipes there...Larry

[TruTred]

Yeah. but that and stuck caliper seems to be the ony thing major.
Actually the other 3 muffs weren't as bad and the header tubes are great, but I've found an old 4-1 to put on.
Going over things for safety & general cleaning up.  Bike was stored 4 or 5 years w/o being used.

Welcome from NY. If u get her put together by June join us for the Round the World relay?

[TruTred]

Thanks.
I would like to ride along - definitely
I'd hope to be breaking in my saddle butt before the end of the month (if I ever get the spigot screws broke loose)

A lot of people have had luck using a 50/50 mixture of ATF and acetone as a penetrant.

Hey Rich! Small world, Im a cake-eater as well.
If you ever need a hand with that old beast, let me know.
We have a bunch of bike projects going on down in the garage (in Bridgewater), including a cb350 hardtail chop, cb350f brat, yamaha R5 cafe, a few more Hondas, a Suzuki, etc.
Also, theres a pretty big group of us from the area that get together at least once a month to talk vintage bikes, wrench, ride, eat and drink!
If youre interested in swinging by, or need an extra set of hands on the 750 just gimme a ring. Ill PM you my number.
