This is acceptable when you have made arse of yourself, hopefully before anyone has noticed. Too late for king; we noticed.

Personally I think it is a little ugly besides the clean look up front (I mean by not have a giant pile of wires running into the headlight). I hardly ever use my back brake either and drum brakes aren't that great anyway IMO so the not front brake thing would be hard getting used too. Also I don't think I would trust someone to see that tiny 2 or so inch brake light when MOST people can't see a tractor trailer when it starts slowing down. No blinkers front or back. Mainly could be a show bike, besides it having zips ties holding things together and being dirty. Figure, I would give an opinion on the bike besides arguing about nothing important.

Was looking at a thread on brakes on another forum and stumbled on this.....

My feeling is this thread has pointed out to king that he has conducted himself in a manner not befitting a true Christian, and deleted his posts in shame. I might be wrong, but for his sake I hope I'm not.

Well...Like i tell most people that know me.? If you knew Him before he got saved you would say he has improved from the way he was......I have only been Arrested once in the last 30 years compared to my youth of 10 times. "But remember perfect people Don't need Jesus anyway" Not perfect just forgiven" (I Hate Religion just as Jesus did!!) food for thought

I had ran across a 1970 CB750KO at a estate auction sale 2 years ago(hadn't seen one these bikes in years) and it renewed my interest and excitement in these bikes I grew up with in the 70's. I came home that day and googled Honda CB750 because I wanted to start reading up on these bikes again and I ran across the sohc4 forum and have been here ever since and have bought 2 CB750's. The first thing I noticed right from the start was the world of knowledge and information that's available to anyone wanting to know anything and everything about these bikes. Rather it was as simple as someone needing to know the spark plug gap on a certain model or info on rebuilding a sohc4 engine it could be found here through the search function or quick replies from other members that had been there done that and just wanted to help you with your bike. I enjoy talking and keeping in touch with all the other sohc4 owners across the country and the world about there bikes and seeing pictures of them and comparing there bike with mine etc. Will I ever meet any these people, probably not, but I did meet a few back in March at the relay ride at Rockingham- SamCB750, Wardenerd, MarkCB750, Nikkisixx, bellcow54 and a few others I can't remember, but all great guys. I think when John Soliday and Glen Stauffer started this thing back in 1994 this was there priority also to keep these classic Honda's alive and well and not let them dissappear and be forgotten about. The SOHC4 that's what this forum is about, not rather we like or dislike, agree or disagree with another members comments, attitude, or actions. I know there are some that come here for the wrong reasons that's for sure and rub feathers the wrong way. The true fan sticks around no matter what, but we all should be here for one reason the love of the first superbike and all the sohc4's that followed.
Well enought talking for right now, going to jump on the KO and put a few miles on it and come back and do the same on the K6. Now that's what's I'm talking about and I hope every other sohc4 owner is doing he same thing

good riding

I am thinking, that if King keeps the KO a while and rides it a lot his attitude might change..

xruss · « **Reply #132 on:** October 15, 2011, 10:20:39 AM »

Not to pile on here, but...while I was out riding my triple-front-rotor bike, I crossed over a bridge just as King was throwing a bag of kittens into the river below.

bwaller · « **Reply #133 on:** October 15, 2011, 10:21:58 AM »

You know what I don't even care about what kind of junk he built.

Fact is someone better change that chain or some new owner will be cursing the old one for a hole in the case.

But buyer beware. Many of use have bought bikes with faulty front brakes due to age and neglect. My PO certainly didn't divulge the info that my front brake was going to lock up on me on my first couple rides. This being my first bike I had no idea what I was in for. At least these people had the benefit of seeing that there was no rotor/caliper/master cylinder....

I had the exact same thing happen to me.

That would be the Wabash River. I could tell in his eyes that he was a Kitten Hater. Probably has a big mean Pit Bull on a large short chain to feed them to also. What a bad man.

This gentleman has figured out and articulated what this place was started for and how we must keep it.

As far as Kingcycles is concerned. Can we say Amen and close the door?

Dave best joke on this thread yet. on pointand intelligent..

And just my two cents if you buy a bike with no front brake I think you know what your getting. Your not buying a BMW with anti-lock and abs. your getting a look and a bar hopper. Choppers are dangerous period.

i like KingCustomCycles i think hes a cool guy gives some good input. so what maybe he does some shady stuff. who dosnt? i do.

i think overall hes more good than bad i guess if you want to put it like that.

the no front brake thing look really really cool!!!

also i came up with a solution for the front brake safty issue. use a lever and wheel chalk tire brake!!! still having a steam punk look and could fit with the build look

Who cares if he does "some shady" stuff? We all do? WTF! Serious? That's your position?
