Gee, thanks. That brought back a memory from like 1976 that I could have done without. My best buddy is still married to her sister...

I'm in.

I believe that's correct. My '71 SOHC had the on/off switch but neither of my '79 DOHC's did/do. I think that the '71 also had a...

Granted that it has been almost 30 years since my last CB750, and I've killed a few brain cell since then, at that time I had a '72...

I think the 4 into 1 is louder than the 4 into 2. Maybe not though, been a few years since I've heard a 4 into 1 setup on one of these...

My '79 has 4 into 2 pipes on it. I feel like it's a bit louder than the stock 4 into 4 setup, but it's not Harley-with-straight-pipes loud.

I learned to drive in a brand-new beetle...in '61. I was 10.

In other words, if it ain't broke...fix it 'til it is. :D

My '79 also has the same one-piece front brake hose as Fencingboy's bike. Not sure that a '78 and a '79 would have the same parts...

I know what you mean. My wife kept trying to get me to quit showing off clear up to the day she passed. The deal with the bike...

There's a yard like that for classic cars in Illinois, just across the river from St. Louis. but he charges $10. He had a complete...

I'm in.

Welcome from the owner of another Ltd. model. You'll be fielding a lot of questions at your gas stops once you get it cleaned up (and...

There's a small, pea-sized ding in the tank, some tiny paint chips, rust collecting between the fins of the exhaust clamps, some dulling...

Thanks. When my buddy looked at the bike, he told me it was a 9.5 out of 10. Now that I've got it, I'd say closer to an 8.5, but still...

For something that they only made 5000 of, there are a surprising number of them still about. The one I had in the '90's I just sort of...

I bought mine just about a year ago. It has a 2 into 1 exhaust but came with the stock setup. I was really disappointed that the stock...

In the 2nd photo, it appears that the hook on the spring is catching the weld on the frame which would probably cause your "pop". How...

Yup, on all the ones with the top brace that I've seen, that brace runs down to an ear just in front of the axle. I did an image search...

I think only the earlier models had the upper brace. I had a '75 SOHC 750 and it had the same fender as yours. My current '79 DOHC...

When they rebuilt my carbs (before I bought the bike) the shop used the Randaak kit. From what I understand the rubber parts in that...

The Harley guys seem to really like those Dynojet kits and a lot of guys really praise them. Difference there I think is they're only...

In again.

I bought my '79 from a dealer in New Mexico, but I found it listed on cycletrader.com.

Yeah, now if I could just get their ads off my FB and YouTube feeds. Them and Quadlock are driving me crazy.

There's always going to be some percentage of leakage, even on a brand new, broken-in engine. Due to the end gaps, the rings don't...

I was just the opposite. Flunked Algebra I once and made it through with a C- the second time, but passed Geometry with straight A's...

That was a perfectly running bike that I tore down over the winter because I wanted to fix a base gasket leak and replace the swing arm...

Last time I tore a project bike down to every little nut and bolt, it took so long to put it back together that I ended up buying...
