Hello,

I had a 79 as well as an 80 cb750 dohc. Been riding Harleys for the last number of years. Very over it. I was given my current Harley by my father otherwise I would still be riding my saber 1100.

Looking to sell my Harley and buy a 1978 cb750k I have my eye on with approximately 14,000 kms. Always wanted a sohc.

Is there anything I should be aware of before going with this bike?

I don't mind wrenching, God knows I have done enough on this Harley, but not looking for something that is a ticking time bomb either.

I don't ride as much as I used to so not worried about a long haul bike. Just want something fairly reliable.

Thank you
 
Dime, had the ‘78in High School and an’82 K after the ‘78 is easy to work on. Has points for tune ups. Rear tire easy for and on. It had the kick starter so I still like that for if your battery goes down. I have a ‘79 & ‘81K now.
I have been rebuilding carbs for two years now. People why two, one to work on and one to ride.
Have fun. I like the fixing I have learned the o’rings in the carbs are not as thick. So buy an o’ting kit. Walter/Houston

Thanks for the post man. The dohc can be a bit finicky for sure
