Introductions - '72 CB750

jerimiah797
Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself and share some pics of my bike. I'm in Seattle, WA, USA. It's nice to see people from all around the world on this board!!

I've got a 1972 CB750K (with a '78 motor and front end, and '75 carbs...)

I bought it last year, and got a bunch of stuff done in including a top end rebuild on the motor, Dyna S electronic ignition and coils, progressive front and rear shocks, new tires, chain and sprckets, rebuilt caliper and master cylinder, cafe bars, and mini-turn signals. Oh, and a Kerker 4-1 exhaust. It's beefy but not so loud I'll get pulled over! :-)

The tank has the original factory orange sparkle paint - I think it's so pretty.

I just spent the weekend sandblasting and painting the battery box and tool tray under the seat. No one except me will ever really see it, but hey, at least I know it's all nice and shiny instead of dirty and rusty. heheh.

Nice bike, but the handle bars have to go.

Hahahah! I take it you're not a fan of the clubmans, then? ;-)

I love them, both for the looks and the ride. I still can't believe how many compliments I get on this bike when I take it out. :-)

Don't get me wrong, it's a sharp bike. I just think it would be even sharper with the org bars.
