Topic: An appreciation of the SOHC forum!

[Dan.T]

Hey, Guys!
Just a shout out to everyone here. I bought my k7 when I a as 18 as soon as I graduated. I am now almost 30 and I have hounded these forums for over 10 years now any time I've needed information, informed opinions or anything related to these bikes. Not only that, but I am a mechanic working primarily in heavy diesel engines currently. I attribute a LOT of my general engine knowledge to the tidbits i have picked up through here over the years of getting my bike dialed in and modified. This forum is really excellent, and the accurate technical knowledge here is abundant. Not to mention I've rarely seen any jerks or arguments that have gotten out of hand. Just a huge shout out to everyone involved. Crazy to think that this forum has had a significant impact in my life and career! Thank you all for existing!

Now, I'm sure some of you want to know:
77 cb750k, wiseco 12.5:1 836, cyclex cx-11 cam, cyclex beehive 5mm calve conversion with titanium keepers and jam nuts, lightened rockers, cycles super rods, balanced crank, rs34 carbs and wide open kirker header. Had the powerarc for years before the engine mods.. it serves its purpose. I know there are not a lot of fans here, but I have no complaints. Even Ken has since told me to ditch it for a dyna. Some day. She rips. Pings a little on a hot day with pump gas, hoping an oil cooler will help with that. Meanwhile, mixing race fuel to save some money over pure vp. That stuff is expensive, despite smelling so good. Attempted to drill and resurface my front rotor on the flywheel machine...thats become a struggle. It hasn't been true since. I took to a local machine shop, they tried a similar set up using flywheel machine, did a little better than me, still pulses. Would love some suggestions there, although really considering double disc conversion at this point. Also installed a 17x4.25 rim on the  rear, so now running 140/80/17 out there. Pirelli sport demons. Love them.
Anyway, thats me, that's my bike. Thanks again for this awesome forum. I ha e had other bikes, but I will never let go of my first cb750.

Thanks for the thanks!  Sounds like you got a hella ripper!  I would strongly recommend some good brake and chassis mods to go with that power.  Email member Godffery at Godffery's Garage for lots of neat dual disc parts and he can fix your rotor or set you up with refurbed, drilled and thinned

I had upgraded to tapered neck bearings and renewed the forks y years ago. Swing arm is tight and free for now. Just ordered some progressive rears the other day. The front brake has forever been my struggle! Is anybody ever truly satisfied with a single disc? Thanks for pointing me to Goddfrey. I just looked over his site, he's got some really cool options available.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I just snapped a couple in my garage and when I attach them it just starts over and deletes all my words. Im using my phone, so I suppose I may have to download taptalk.
I had an account here years ago, but I forgot the name and password and what not. Plus I've had a renewed obsession lately since.my roommate and I both picked up a couple Supersports to do a couple builds together. I got a 77 and he got a 76.

Ps: Good fun to be had with that old screamin demon 😈

The other one somehow worked. Let's see if this one goes

 Did you remember this one.. check, check and 're-check.....lol...
 There are lessons to be learned from other disciplines that can help with your overall skills and knowledge,   and that's a good thing.,
