Hi from Warwickshire!

[chrisbmxr]

Hello!

My name is Chris and I am from Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

I have had a few bikes in the past few years including Honda Hornet 600, CB1000R and a Yamaha R6 race bike. 4 years ago I inherited a 1977 CB750 Super Sport F2 from my late father-in-law and over the past few weeks I have finally started the project to get it back on the road after being stood in his garage for over 20 years! I didn't really know much about these bikes until he passed, but over the last few years I have done plenty of research and I've really fallen in love with the dusty, rusty bike which is now in my garage.

I'm planning to get it back on the road using as many original parts as possible (it is a complete bike, but some bits will need replacing) and keep the look as original as possible so my wife and I can enjoy the bike the way my father in law did. I'll start a separate project thread, but I've attached a couple of pics.

Thanks, and stay safe!

Welcome to the Forum Chris.... It sounds like that is going be be a great project.... Its so much easier if all the bits are there and just need refurbishing.

Welcome, i think you posted on the US site.
Try and get it to run first, have fun with the carbs though, if it blue smokes the engine will need to come out as they are notorios for wearing out exhaust valve guides

Thanks.

Yep, plan is first to get the engine running (well) first. Then sort running gear and finally spruce up the bodywork etc.

I'm planning to send the carbs to a specialist to be rebuilt … they are the one thing I don't fancy tackling myself! If needs be, I'll pull the engine out and do a bench rebuild.

Hi Chris,

A warm welcome to the mad world of SHOC. You will find a wealth of data in Aladdins cave and heaps of good advice on the forum. I’m around the corner in Rugby and if we are ever allowed out to play I’d be happy to chew the fat .

Cheers,
Greg

Welcome in!. That looks like a nice bike, i really like the F models... regarding the carbs, if you can tackle an engine rebuild you can certainly strip, clean the reset the carbs... save yer money and give it a go. Good luck with it, great story.
