Evening Folks!

I like to follow rules, so I'll introduce myself as Chris. I've had a 1978 CB750 for perhaps 10 years or so now I think!? In that time, I've ridden it perhaps one mile! It was purchased in boxes and parts though the engine was whole. I bid on it on eBay, not really thinking I'd win, or knowing much about them. Back then, I just knew they made cool café racers!

Over the years as I've had spare cash, I've tried to get stuff for it. Pic should be attached, if I've done it correctly! Original seat but re foamed and covered. Replica tank beaten out of flat sheet aluminium when mine was rotten. Carpy 4 into 1 as it didn't have an exhaust. It's got a set of Murrays carbs, so they're correctly jetted two into 2 branch manifolds. I gave up on the original carbs. Realised I dislike carbs. I've gotten it back from a garage after retrofitting electronic ignition and it's running better than it ever has.

I've joined to ask a few tech questions and see if I'm going to be able to finish this off, or if it's going to be put up for sale. See how the answers to the questions go!

Nice to join and say hi, especially after years of browsing the site to see others peoples questions, see if they'd answer mine.

Hi Chris. Welcome to the forum.
I think you need 5 posts before you can attach pics.

Cheers Mr Dragon! It's shown it as attached, it's said that it's been viewed a couple time too but that's maybe been by me! haha

Hi Chris. Welcome to the forum.

I changed that a while back.

We don’t get many spammers on here so I relaxed the “standard” rules.

Thanks Steve, good to know. It wouldn't display when I first tried to look at it, but working OK now.

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum. Great source of information to tap into here.

[chrisCB750F2]

Thank you all, I have the search function open, see if I can get an answer to my first question, the decider for carrying on or throwing in the towel.

[Sesman]

Sorry Chris, but was the question?

[Sesman]

I wouldn’t bother with the towel, you seem to have already thrown everything else at it😁
