Title: Hello from me!
Post by: PaulS on August 20, 2021, 12:47:35 PM
Although I have owned my '71 CB750K1 for 7 years this is the first time I have been on the forum. I'll be looking for help and advice to keep my lovely bike on the road.
Just after I bought the bike John Wyeth of Rising Sun Restorations, near York did an initial overhaul. He was brilliant. Although I am based in Bristol, I was thinking of taking it to him for another refurb, but his telephone number seems to be no longer working. Is he still around?

Sadly John Wyatt passed away last month (heart attack). There’s loads of support on this forum and I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to tackle the majority of tasks with a bit of support from here. Welcome.

Welcome to the sohc community - do not be afraid to tackle a lot of the work yourself it's very theraputic if you have time on your hands - you are never too old to learn new skills.

Very sad to hear that John Wyeth is no longer with us.
A real character.
And I have his excellent book on the CB750 Restoration by my bedside.

Hiya,

fello Bristolian here over Chew way, help with tools, support, banter, discussion, coffee and ridicule n biscuits here if you need it.  :)

Nearly finished a 400 and starting my 550 soon but over this year I've found some fantastic people around here to help and offer great services. The forum is a wonderful place full of expert knowledge, Like Ted said, don't be afraid to ask, everyone's so helpful.

All the best
Roo

Thanks Laverdaroo.
Looks like we need to mull things over (with a mug of tea in hand)
I am having problems with my CB750 - see my posts in that section of the Forum.
Let me know when would be good to meet up...
