Hello from East Kent.
« on: October 11, 2016, 07:51:00 PM »
Hi, I'm Wills, recently retired and enjoying lots of time in my garage where I'm part way through the restoration of my CB750K2. I'll no doubt have lots of questions.

Welcome to the forum Wills, you're sure to get plenty of useful advice on your restoration.   Some photos would be great so I don't have to spend money on bike magazines.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Hi RGP750, just outside of Hawkinge.
Hello Mike the Bike, I'll post some pics but need to reduce the file size.

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC. The K2 in the 750 range is the best of them all. Is it a UK unit and what year ?

Hi all,
Been away for a few days so haven't checked the forum. Thanks for all the kind messages.
Trigger, it's a US import barn find, plated as 05/72 which I believe is an early K2. shows 15000 miles which seems genuine going by the condition. I'm going to follow up Green1's suggestion and have a look at photobucket so that I can resize any photos more easily.
Now going to post a question separately.
Regards,
Wills.
