Howdy folks!
I just bought my first Japanese bike - 1974 CB750 and I am excited about it. Actually a banner week as my wife also bought a Subaru Outback this week! All of this may not sound like much, but we have have been die hard all American (and British) machines all our lives - and two Japanese vehicles in one week is a revolution for us!
I will always love my Harley's but I respect Honda very much and I see the benefits of overhead cams for sure. These machines seem to be bulletproof and run forever! And no need for a drip pan underneath? I am on board with that concept!
I also love the fact that parts are widely available, and these engines can be put in rigid frames to make cool choppers - so many great options!
I plan to run mine mostly stock, at least for a while . . . once I actually take delivery of it, I can post pictures. She's not a looker - rattle canned flat black, but she runs strong and looks cool to me!
I thank you all in advance for answering the inevitable questions I will have . . . as I plan on doing all the work as needed myself.
Peace!
Doug
