New guy with a 76 CB750F from NY
« on: February 14, 2013, 10:21:58 AM »
Hello Everyone!

My name is Liam and I own a 1976 CB750F and am from the capital district area (Albany) of NY.   I purchased it last spring after selling my 2004 CB600F.  It is in really good condition and everything worked perfectly on it.  I rode it all last spring and summer until I noticed that I had oil blow by from BOTH the head and base gaskets  :(.  Now I have decided to rebuild it and turn it into a cafe racer a little sooner that I was expecting too.

I have been lurking on here for a while researching and learning.  I'll soon be starting a build thread once I get some pictures taken.  I hope to share my build with everyone and learn from everyone here.

Greetings and good luck with the project. Please protect the parts you will not be using as some as next to impossible to get.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

I actually plan on finding good homes for the parts I do not plan to use, as I know there are people out there doing stock rebuilds.  Is that what you're referring to?
