New Member Introductions / Horace says Hi!« on: November 03, 2017, 03:01:09 PM »
This is Horace; My name is John and Horace (as named by PO of 17 years) is a 1970 CB750 frame & engine No. 1031xxx. I have had it for 10 years and got round to getting it back to standard this year in order to go to the Classic TT as a retirement treat. Through this site found TEC Bike Parts and have just recieved a set of rear shocks hopefully to cure the nodding front end! I have the original seat which I will restore.
[ Guests cannot view attachments ] I had a CB750 in the early 70s which I used to endlessly strip down for fun which interesed me far more than looking at it as I have very few photos it. I did ride it a lot as well, it was my only form of transport for about 6 years! When the original silencers rotted out I just cut them off and clamped VW Beetle silencer tubes on the ends of the down pipes. It sounded great and passed several MOTs like that! I did eventually fit a 4 into 1 on it. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] I do have a question of minor importance but niggling me none the less. What determined what colour the tank badge was? My H reg one had white ones and Harace has black. Both had/have 4 way split throttle cables so to be pedantic, pre K0. I will kick myself to the end of time for selling the H reg one but I moved on to enduro riding so it had to go. I have a 1964 cb77 as well but am in the process of transferring it to my son so not strictly mine any more. I had a CA95 then a C76 before the CB750.
