Hi, my name is Scott.
I've been banging on a couple of '75 CB550fours for a few years and mostly making things worse. I recently bought a '77 750K and want to make it a serious project. It was on its way to being a cafe racer (drag bars, custom tank, cafe seat, pod filters) when I bought it, but I think I want to make it a bit more ride-able. First thing I did was take it to the shop and have them put on new Spitfire tires and take a look at the carbs. The new tires are great, I feel a lot safer and the ride is so much smoother. The carb job is okay, but it would still blubber before half throttle. The mechanic recommended that I replace the pods with a stock airbox. I did that and now need to get a new air filter for it. It blubbers hopelessly at anything over a quarter throttle, but starts and idles much more smoothly. The list of things that need doing is long and mostly cosmetic since I don't really have a good grasp of what I need to do to make the bike perform better mechanically. That's why I'm here! I've looked at a few of the builds and read some of the tech pages and feel confident that I can learn a lot from and be inspired by you all here. I look forward to it.
Thanks, Scott.
