Newbie from Yorkshire
« on: August 29, 2017, 06:22:51 PM »
Hi all, new member signing in.  I've always wanted a CB750 and now I have a new beast in the garage to fettle and ride. Used to have a 550K4 back in the 80's but that was the only SOHC I ever had. Always preferred the looks of the 750 motor though, and the big round tank and sidepanels..... 8).

I'll be needing a few replacement parts so will be looking for advice on where to look... not too fussed about originality although the bike is pretty standard with just a few wrong parts as far as I can see.... a giuliari seat would be nice! and maybe a 4 into 1 exhaust...

Cheers Rob

Ay up Rob.
Welcome to the forum.  Plenty of good advice on here,  maybe someone's having a clearout of spare parts.  You never know, just say what you're after. Any chance of pbotos, saves us having to fork out for bike magazines.
