Just picked up a super clean one owner 750C with only 9300miles. Owner just put new rubber on and had the carbs professionally rebuilt,new pads,rear shoes,plugs,wires etc. Removable windshield and rear hard bag for only $900. The question I have is about the valve train clatter I hear between roughly 4800-5000 rpm's. Engine is super quiet before and after this one small area. Makes great power. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Of course this 200rpm clatter is nothing compared to the noises that come from the engine of my '77 ironhead Sportster. My wife loves riding on the CB. thanks....Joe
