Greetings All,
Let me first extend my thanks to the moderators and members for making and sustaining this website. I'm not new to motorcycling but I'm new to the site and a new owner of a 1971 CB750 project bike, so it's great to have this resource and its members' experience for help and guidance.
From what I know the bike has been sitting in a garage for some years. The PO had always intended to fix it up but life events got in the way. Through a mutual friend, I heard the owner had decided it was time to find the bike a better home...I promised I'd definitely give it a good home and all the love and care it deserved...so, here I am.
I've been told that once upon a time it had an 816cc big bore kit installed. When starting the bike after the mod, the engine made some noise that caused some concern. It was shut down to be troubleshot when time allowed. And it's been sitting ever since.
The odometer reads 4,434 miles. Not sure how true that is but the date on the title says 1979 at which time it had 502 miles on it.
I haven't had a chance to do anything with it other than cart it home. Hopefully, with some warmer weather this weekend I can wash some of the garage age off of it, see if the motor is free and pinch myself to see if I'm really dreaming!
Looking forward to swapping tall tales and tech experience as time goes along.
