Wells/Mendips
« on: May 13, 2015, 10:27:21 AM »
Just bought a 1973 CB750 K3 for £500 which has been stored for 15 years. Planning a complete restoration over the next lifetime!
If anybody's in the area and know anything about electrics, the kettles always on! Looking forward to sharing the journey and the 100's of stupid questions I'm going to ask!

Welcome Peter, from N. Somerset.

Great help advice and a few parts c/o this forum. Probably the best thing I did before attempting my 400 strip/rebuild was joining here.

Look forward to seeing your completed bike in the sunshine on the lawn outside Wells Cathedral!

Cheers, D.

Welcome
Sounds like a good buy I can't find anything near me for that price.  :(

Sounds like a complete bargain to me. K3's are one of the hardest to come by so you did well..
