I have reasons for being gone for a bit.

I bought a motorcycle. I love it. Sorry guys for not being around as much but im still here. I got a 1978 Honda CF750K. pics soon but its a fixer upper. Which in a sense is what i wanted and all i could afford. its come along nicely but still needs alot of work this winter. the carbs need to be cleaned but i dont think they need a rebuild, New head gasket is going on this winter. Needs lots of paint and lots of love. She will clean up nicely but for now ill enjoy riding the way she is.

Kevin.. next time your are up to the lake, call me. I still have my '73 750 sitting in the barn. But, you would prolly be more interested in the boxes of spare parts I also have. Also have all my old Honda tools needed to work on them.

Don't buy a shop manual, I have one you can have. My old ice racer with the sidecar was a '78 750.

cool

here is something i recenlty learned about some bikes that may save you a headache.....you may allready know , but it was something i learned the hard way.....for many of them to run correctly the stock oem air filter and box needs to be in place , it's just the way they were made....anouther dumb thing i've done was to try to fix the starter relay because i forgot some have a switch on the clutch....good luck

change jetting and you can run on other stuff besides the stock box. but i just got the stock box back on, it seems i have fixed the carb issue. lots of work ahead of me but it will get there.
