Hi From Jo
« on: November 25, 2014, 09:34:55 AM »
Hi There,
Let me introduce myself . My name is Jo and recently was given a rusting hulk of a motorcycle model CB750K7 to restore , which has resided in a colleagues garden for more years than are good for it. I am coming back to motorcycling having taken my bike test on a CG125 in the 1990’s and always wished to own a CB750 as my dad , bless him, had one in the  very early 1970’s.
We moved to the UK from just outside of Tokyo in 1971 when my dad took up a post at the Linwood car plant. Going  to need your help guys on a mammoth restoration!

Sayonara ..Jo

Welcome Jo, are you planning an original restoration or a running/useable one? Some parts for the K7 , such as original exhausts are almost impossible to find, but it depends how patient you are, and how deep your pockets are! Good luck:))
