New member from Derby, UK!
« on: May 03, 2016, 01:37:07 AM »
Hey guys, new member here from Derby, England
I've recently bought a 1978 CB750 K8, which is my first bike. I'm a complete novice and currently the Haynes manual, YouTube and you guys are my best friends, I'm also lucky in that my girlfriends farther is a biker and has the garage space, tools and knowledge to also help me. The bike is an import from the USA, currently a non runner but we haven't tried to start it yet. I'm currently off for two weeks so the plan is to see if we can get it running by the end! I'm pretty sure all the answers to the problems I'm sure to face will be on here so I'll do my best to find them before posting.
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Howdy! Welcome!

You should make friends with the Shop manual and the parts list as well.  :)
