Hello from Northern Virginia
« on: March 30, 2009, 07:15:29 AM »
I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jud and I live in Northern Virginia. In February I bought a 1974 CB750K4 that I intend to make a cafe racer for around $2000 for the initial cost that is. I'm sure when I get it running and moving I will spend more on her. I'm cleaning the carbs now and going through the bike replacing and clean stuff, but most of all learning about the bike. I had a 1973 CB750 many moons (15 years) ago and loved the bike so was longing for another one. I've got a 1990 FXSTS in the garage sitting next to the relic so I'm a fan of both American and Japanese bikes. Hope to learn a ton on here and maybe even offer something.

Thanks
Jud

Welcome!
Where exactly are you at in NoVa? I am in Centreville/Fairfax.
Next time you need parts for the FXSTS, come and see me at the parts counter at Whitts HD ;)
You can probably check out my cafe'd K8 as well while you are there.

I live in Warrenton. I've been to Whitt's a couple of times you know spending chrome cash (the only way I can afford the springer). Cool maybe when I get my bike going we can go for a ride. Do you know any other cafe riders around here?

Thanks
