Hi from Australia
« on: December 05, 2011, 02:41:48 PM »
Hey guys - picked up a CB750F2 a few weeks back and slowly butchering it into a bratstyle/cafe racer/tracker sort of thing.  Not 100% where its taking me yet but trying to do bits at a time so i can still ride it around!  Got some great tips of guys on the forum and thought i'd join up and see what its all about.

Live in Melbourne, so any other CB's out there going for a summer ride let me know.

Cheers.

Welcome! The folks down that way are planning a bit of a summer ride soon. ;) They should be around shortly to fill you in.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Welcome aboard! You better keep that thing running... the first annual SOHC Round the World relay is rapidly approaching your backyard! The baton has already covered over 20,000 miles since March, you definitely want to be part of this:

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.
