Title: Hello from sunny Shropshire
Post by: Jontyp on April 25, 2016, 12:13:18 PM

Hi All
Just joined as I've just won a CB750 on fleabay. It's gonna be a tinkering project over an indeterminate period of time. I've had bikes since I left school in 1978 and my first CB was a lovely little 400/4 that I did a 460 Yoshimura tune on. Probably the best fun I've ever had on a bike.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll be along to pick peoples brains and maybe help some others if I can.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum.
I started in 1978 on a 1966 CB160. I graduated up to a CB400/4 in 1980 and have had one ever since  :).
Good luck with the CB750.
