Title: Hi
Post by: Dcollins26 on July 12, 2016, 05:43:42 PM
Hi guys and girls I am new here.

I am here with my late father's motorbikes, a Honda CB750 K4 and 400 Super Sport, as well as a Suzuki GT380.

The 750 is my Dad's favourite and in time I'd like to get it running again.

Welcome!  .. Nice that you are getting your fathers machines up and running. He sure would be proud I bet.

Manuals for your Hondas are on here in my Dropbox link inc Service & Parts books. Funnily my 1st 400/4 in 1977 was a trade in as the 1st owner swapped it for a GT380  :D

Thanks!

I think it'll be later rather than sooner as a lot to sort yet, but I'll try and get some photos up eventually

Welcome, fellow 400four owner (or is it "son of 400four owner"? )

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the kind comments and welcomes.

At the moment it's not my place, but the Solicitor's (and the will) that dictates what will happen to them, but I'd love to keep at least one, and have it running.

They have all been off the road since 1998 minimum and the 750 and possibly the 400/4 have been kicked over regularish and the Suzuki virtually never (due to storage). Unsure as to what the 750 would need to get it running, I know nothing about bikes or their engines!

If you know nothing about bikes and you want it up and running, DO NOT take it to your local Honda shop, as they will not have a clue. There is a member in Hove that specialises in CB750's.

the road.
