Hi from Dufftown in Scotland
« on: July 09, 2014, 09:12:21 PM »
Hi to all and a big thanks to the admins for adding me. New to biking and just bought a 76 CB750 hardtail as a project. Sadly the original engine has been replaced with a yamaha 600 but i hope to restore it to its former glory.

Welcome. Not a easy engine to get hold of in good nick. Enjoy, and you never know unless you try.

Hi and welcome , engines go anywhere between one hundred and five hundred always best to strip at least the top end before fitting as once in the frame you can,t take apart
