little off-topic. your size compared to your bike?

bagoony
Hey forum. I was wondering what your height and weight is for being a CB owner? I feel like I'm slightly too small for my '82 CB750F. I am about 5'8, 150lbs+. I don't care about how I look or anything it just sucks sometimes when I can't reverse park or push my bike with ease. I also feel like the tank is a little too heavy, but I like the way it looks. Are there any alternative tanks or suggestions you can give me to lighten my bike? Thanks.

I'm probably way to big for my 79F.  From the looks of this pic, I was too big when I bought the dang thing back in 1979.

My buddy had a '79 cb750, and he was a kinda short dude. We found shorter/adjustable shocks and got the ride hight right. If you can handle the weight of the bike everything else can be adjusted to fit you.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.
