New guy here from Salt lake City
« on: June 16, 2018, 05:33:14 PM »
Hey all! Excited to finally contribute to the forum that has so wonderfully helped me out with my build.

I'm a new rider and built up my non-working 1978 CB750F before I knew how to ride. I gathered a ton of information from this forum and the valuable information was enough to get me through the build with a bike that's running relatively well.

I'm a machinist by trade and have been machining for 12 years (I'm 30). I was able to machine several parts for this bike as well as use my experience in composites to make my carbon fiber seat cowl. It's taken me about a year to get the bike running and I've only been riding it for about a week but I'm totally hooked. Hopefully I can help out with some questions others might have to give back to the community that's helped me. Thanks!

Welcome from Colorado.

Carbon fiber seat cowl huh?!! Hoping it wasn't a one off  ;)
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Welcome to the fun!
I think you have to post like 5 times (or more?) before it lets you put up pictures, but we just gotta see it.  :)
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.
