Another newbie
« on: January 19, 2015, 11:56:40 PM »
Hi all.
I have come on here as I have acquired a 1971 CB750K1 (I think it's a K1) which is in several pieces.
It has been many years since I tinkered with these bikes, I had a K6 in 1977, so I am probably a little rusty.
I will try and put some pictures up so you know what I'm on about.









The exhausts are in quite good condition which is a bonus as is the frame. The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed the 750K number plate, that in itself is a nice touch.
Anyway, I am glad to be here and look forward to picking all of your grey matter in the near future.

Cheers,  Dave

Welcome, Nice find. Parts are not easy to find for the early CB750's anymore. Good luck with the build.

That looks excellent, something for me to aim at.

I need a mainstand if you know where there is one. Worth an ask.

Thanks for all the welcomes, I look forward to many happy hours tinkering.  :)
