Hello All...glad to be a part of this group and thanks to Bob Cleveland for getting me here. New intro is to include the bikes I own. I have restored a 1980 Honda CM400E, 1981 CM400 Custom, my wife and I ride a 2000 Goldwing. I owned a 1977 CB750K and sold it when I bought the Wing. This past July I bought a 1970 CB750 with 17,000 miles on it. It had not been started since 1990 when the owner lost interest. I pushed it home. Took 3 weeks to clean carbs, clean tank, change oil and be sure it was ready to fire. Took it for the first ride 3 weeks to the day I got it home. Now I am doing the cleaning, etc. The bike is remarkably clean as far as rust goes. I plan to restore the paint, rebuild the forks, install new OEM exhausts, etc. This will be a winter project. I want to be sure it runs good before I stick a lot of money into it. No oil leaks, no gas leaks, fires fine. Plan to install electronic ignition per vintage guys recommendation. I am working on a clutch problem now that I will discuss in the proper forum area. Looking forward to learning from you guys.
