Hey there.
my name is Dave, from Canada eh!
long time honda lover , currently rebuilding my fathers old lawn ornament . 77 cb750k. I grew up on the back and watched it go from gem to rust. he got it back in '80 from a guy who lived near his job site. i had sat outside and hardly driven since new. i grew up helping him clean/ fix it up. He used to have the white vetter fairing(yuk) , saddles and the trunk. back in 1999 i had changed it back to the headlight etc. .
shortly after that he had some heart problems and parked the bike. I watched it slowly sink into the grass in the yard until i was able to tear it from his hands in 2011. (he didnt want to see it go) .
i have been working on it for about a year now. Im not as far as i would like to be but hey life is busy and supplies are expensive.plus i am doing all this in my basement laundry room.
So far i have completely redone the motor, glass beaded the casings, polished the covers, wheels, carbs, etc. and started chopping the frame.
Thought i would share some history to introduce myself.
