Greetings SOHCies from East Sussex (1970 CB750)
« on: May 01, 2020, 12:52:11 PM »
Hi folks,

Having bought my CB750 way back in 1975, it's about time I joined a forum. It's a 1970 model (engine begins 102...) I last rode it in 1979 and (to my eternal shame) it has been fusing into a single piece of corroded metal ever since. But now the restoration has begun!

I've posted a couple of pics in the CB750 gallery (then and now). I did rebuild it back in 1976 but have forgotten everything, so might have a few questions. First one would be...

It still has a Motad 4-into-1 exhaust. I'd like to keep it as it's a) "original", b) a bit different, and c) cheaper than buying a new 4-pipe!

Is there anyone in the UK who can cut into the silencer, check/rework the internals, and then join it back together again?

Thanks,
David
