79 New guy

Bayou Black
I just purchased a 79 CB750F Super Sport with a big butt. Still shocked that i found this bike about 2 miles from my house in excellent shape. I sold my 2004 my VTX1300 and was on the lookout for a nice CB. I had a 1970 about 9 years ago and still miss that thing. Looking forward to using this site.

Yea the previous owner painted the brakes? I guess that is the gold package? This bike rides so nice I am in love. thought about trimming down the butt? Will probably do nothing to it and just ride it for now.

Nice bike. The rotor did not come original with Swiss cheese rotors.

Welcome! That is one clean lookin' bike! You'll never see that big butt while you're out riding and enjoying it. Big butts ain't all bad. Remember the Queen song? "Fat bottom girls you make the rocking world go 'round!"

Sorry for the hi-jack but, are those SOHC Comstars on DOHC forks? Tools knows what I'm getting at here

Man this bike is so clean. The guy I bought it from did some nice work restoring it. He showed me a picture of it when he got it and it was pretty beat up. Carbs were missing. 2 people pulled up about 10 minutes after I got to his house ready to buy this thing. I got there just in time!!!! He let me ride it and I was in love. Still can't believe it's mine. I looked around for about 2 months and this was the one.

shinyribs. Yep fat bottom girls. Im kinda liking that big booty its growing on me. Not sure about the comstars on DOHC forks? Guy gave me a big folder with all sorts of information on this bike. I am staying up late at night reading all I can about this bike. Glad I didn't buy the 09 Kawasaki ER6N and found this one.

Luke I actually got this bike for 2 grand cash. Guy was asking 2300 obo? I saw this thing on craigslist at about 10:45 pm on a thursday night. Guy posted don't call before noon? I called him at 11:59 met him at 5pm after work and shook on the sale at 5:15pm. I am still waiting for the catch? I was looking at a few other bikes for around this price that were needing lots and lots of work and less riding. I will be riding alot both commuting and weekend rides with a big ass smile on my face.

It looks really nice and well cared for. I think you got a deal if she runs as a good as she looks. You may see some 79 to 82 CB750s for less but they won't be that nice.
