New guy
« on: December 28, 2019, 04:41:29 PM »
Hi All
An introduction from a new guy. Just bought a Honda CB750 K3 for restoration from a really nice guy in Yeovil. Been restoring BMW's for past 3 years but decided to get back to my roots with the CB. First bike was a Honda CB125 twin a derestricted 125 but really lusted after a 750 so here we go. I think I'm going to need lots of help on this one. Added a couple of pics of the BM's first was a R60/5 twin and second a R26 single. Iam retired and based in Cumbria. I will keep everybody in touch with the build as I go along and looking forwards to all your comments.
Thanks guys,
Steve

Nice looking Beemers mate, please post up before and after pics of the CB too.  Welcome btw.
Now where did I put that 10mm socket?

Thanks for the replies guys, still not got my bike as the delivery guys been really busy over the Christmas break. Hoping to get her on Sunday morning so will post a couple of pictures. I bought the best bike I could afford and it comes with a mint 341 exhaust which has to be the best bit. I'm planning to ride her for a couple of weeks as she isn't a basket case and try to figure out what all the problems are. Already started a spread sheet for the parts I think I will need and its pretty scary by hey ho here we go. Can't wait to get started  ;D
