Intro thread

cravacor


Hello All,
I have been creeping around for a while and decided to join the fun.
I've been riding on the street for about 20 years. I have a few bikes.
This is my only Honda. 1976 CB750F. 38xxx miles. I have had this bike for about 10 years. I have done a bit of work to it over the years. I look forward to learning more about these machines and offering my insight on anything I might be able to help with.
Cheers,
Tom

Welcome to the forum, Tom.

Those first generation F's are just flatout pretty bikes. Very nice example you have there! I hope to acquire another one of these one day, except that one won't get cut up.  See ya 'round the forum...

Thanks for the welcomes, guys.
The big projects this winter  are to replace the wheel bearings and swing arm bushings and head bearings, tune and adjust the carburetors and replace the front fork oil and possibly replace the fork springs with progressive springs if they are worn. Also installing some super bike handlebars, new chain and sprockets balancing and truing the wheels.
Yes I am lucky she made it to me with the original exhaust still on.
