New member intro
« on: February 12, 2008, 09:18:59 AM »
Hi,Woolfie here from Toronto by way of the UK 29years ago.Have a 79CB750 F Supersport.Not ridden it for the last 20 years and now want to get it going again.Tried and finally acquired an original set of 4 into 2 exhaust pipes,now just need to  fit them.My other project is a 71 CB750.This one needs a bit more work and the engine was running however I had one hell of an oil leak from the left hand side of the engine that I couldn't see where it was coming from.Any ideas?
Hope I can learn some tips from you good people.

Greetings and welcome!
As far as your oil leak goes it might be the alternator cover gasket or maybe the automatic chain oiler screw is missing. Pictures of the oily spot would be quite helpful.
There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

Not doing what you can to make your bike ride-able during the best riding months of the year kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.
