New Member Introductions / New here...Hi
« on: July 24, 2022, 01:17:16 PM »
Hi all, new owner of a 1978 CB750K (US Import) based in London - needs a lot of love to get it back on the road so need to start putting a shopping list together.
Been browsing though the forum this past week trying to soak up some knowledge...so much information on here!! No doubt i'll be asking plenty of questions and will get some pics up next week.
So first off, I want to start buying a full gasket kit - Wemoto have the Athena one, and CMS have gasket kit top+bottom but it doesn't say which brand, only that its an alternative part. Both similar prices - would anyone recommend one over the other? Or would you say buying the genuine gaskets individual would be best but then the price adds up.
I've read on here that the carbs on this model (PD42B) aren't everyones favourites and they are different to the earlier models - Was planning on getting Keyster Carb Kit [Keihin PD42] from https://nrp-carbs.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=450&search=pd42 but was sure if they would definitely fit mine as they say CB750F4 and also PD42 but mine say PD42B. Would these work or would there be better and cheaper options out there?
