Hi all,
I've just purchased a cb750k2 USA import, the CB was my dream bike ever since I made an airfix kit of one when I was a kid.
I also run a 1962 BSA super rocket and to compliment that a 1964 Vespa GS160 so it's nice to ride a " modern " bike at last.
Can anyone recommend someone in the Essex/east London area who services these machines so he can give it the once over for me

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC. You could try a member in your area "Green 1" can't be too far away from you.

Welcome to the forum Dave. Green1 (Mick) is a forum member but I think why Trig suggested him is that he lives in Essex and has a few SOHC Hondas but he's a painter and decorator to famous people by trade !!!. Most people on the forum maintain their own bikes as there aren't many places that specialise in them.

Welcome Dave
You will be hard pushed to find a garage that understands these old girls now.
Your more then welcome to bring the bike round for a once over. But carb setup I leave for the only garage I trust and there in Braintree.

Hi,

I can recommend https://sanddmotorcyclesltd.co.uk/

Its near Brentwood. They look after my CB750. The owner learned on Honda's and has a love of them.

Good luck!
