New Member Hello from Mid Michigan USA
« on: April 30, 2017, 08:30:41 AM »
First the photo is of another riders 1979 CB750K, wanted to show what I have since 1983 second owner. I bought it in Holland Michigan from Reliable Sports when they were selling Honda motorcycles. The bike had 1500 miles on it and was second bike to a Goldwing owner. I have just over 33,000+ miles on the bike total. I loved this bike and the road handling on the roads in northern Michigan. It is now torn down due to my stupidity always tinkering with the noisy chain guide and it finally broke.

I was going to do a complete frame up restoration but have realized I have far more thing to do turning 60. Like go riding! So I came to this forum to help others in need of engine parts for their restoration. In the coming months I will photo and list parts. The lower unit is still in one piece and clean, the cylinders are off and the head has been machined with new valves and guides.

As for the frame, wheels, etc, I am contemplating a project with my grandsons for a high school years project of making an electric motorcycle. They would win with the knowledge and I would win getting to sit on my loved motorcycle. Feel free to contact me, I love talking motorcycles and rides.

Have a great 2017 riding season friends! Ride Defensive Ride Safe.  John Montani

Welcome to the list!
Recommend  you search through and read the FAQ topics and get a copy of manuals downloaded from links off the site.

Searches on the site using search tool have been broken for several months.  Use a Google search and specify " site: forums.sohc4.net " in your search string and it will find the topic you asked for in the search.  Sometimes fewer word are best using keywords to find topics.  The sticky topics in each thread should be looked at as often they have common info or info about posting to that area.

It is a good community of owners that help others and have fun with theese old bikes.

Btw, you will have to provide links to photobucket or other image hosting sites until you have 5 posts I believe.

Photos of other bikes have their place but usually better to show yours...
