Count me in as well. 1976 K6, Antares Red.

Let me describe the bike and situation. Bike is a '76 K6 with 7,000 miles and stored poorly were some rust accumulated from sitting (1988-2012). On the right side there is some damage; front directional bent and scraped, headlight bracket pushed in, tachometer housing dented and scraped...

Looking for help regarding the push button starter switch on my K6. The problem was the spring was not pushing the button back out and when I opened the throttle housing, peices just fell out and its not obvious how they go back together. I maybe missing some peices as a bunch of debris fell out...

Please entry me for the drawing.

As an FYI for the group, I applied a generous coating of Glycerin (available in pharmacy in cosmetics section) to the boots and also sprayed them with silicon. They softened a little to the point where they went on the head nipples by hand. I'll try the ATF/linseed method if the carbs don't go...

dirtdigger, Thanks for the reply. I thought it was obvious that the hole would go all the way through, but didn't want to risk ruining the jet to find out. It was just too much of a coincidence that all four were clogged that no instrument, metal pick or toothpick would push through. I also see...

Would Electrolysis have been a better cleaning method for the carbs? I've recently tried electrolysis for rust removal on steel with success. Used Arm and Hammer washing soda (sodium carbonate) in water and 2 foot long steel rebars as the positive side anodes and a standard 2-4 amp battery...

I believe the problem is not with the regulator or rectifier, hence you said you're getting 12-13 VDC. The problem you're experiencing is a poor connection somewhere in the circuit. This poor connection is causing a resistance that is allowing what the electrical trade calls a parasitic amount...

Looking for a paint source for the original color for my '76 K6 which is Antares Red and seems to be a one year only color. Is it a Candy color? Which vendors have the group used with success?

I recently acquired a non running 1976 CB 750 in basically stock but neglected condition. Hasn't been on the road since 1988. Looking for a suggestion on a replacement battery: Interstate, Honda, or other? Also, Is there a web page or other source that shows what the differances are between...
