Hey guys check out my new ride! It's an 82' CB750F SS. My long time friend gifted it to me because it was in poor shape and he bought a new bike. As I'm going through the bike and repairing or replacing things I'm noticing some very questionable  fixes. I'm actually surprised this bike was running when he handed it over. For example the #2 spark plug was a 1/4 of the way out! With the plug wires superglued into the coils with no suitable end pieces. The wires were stripped at the top and wire was in a knot... Needless to say he has a desk job. The carburetor hoses were like peanut brittle, and the carb slide would take between 3-7seconds to snap back after a rev. I know.... So bad. Anyway she's mine now and I'm going through her top to bottom! I tried to post a pic but not sure if it worked... Oh did I mention she has 61,000 miles!! Not exactly new. But running like a champ, even with the shotty repairs.  I'm amazed at the resilience of this bike and after I'm done I'm hoping to bring it back to real life. I'll post more pics. It's nice to be apart of this forum. I have gotten some great info from it and I hope I can help someone else.
