my new "old" ride

81 cb750c, picked her up for $350. She sat for a few years and needed some lovin. Did a total fuel system cleaning (carbs and tank)took apart and cleaned the calipers and master cylinder, there were sticking real bad, new fork seals and a new bat. Little TLC and i got my 2 up bike i have been looking for. Rides real nice for an old bike!

Nice score!! You saw the pic of my old '80 cb650. I picked up my current '73 cb350 for $200 but yours looks nice whereas mine looked like it had been sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Looks and runs alot better now, but I'll actually need to sell it soon. I'll post up some pics soon.

Nice, my other girl is a sweet 82 CB750F i bought new in 83, oh and i can't forget the street tard. (she now has upgraded lighting system and is street legal) The is a great forum for the CB's www.cb1100f.net I will for warn you they cater to the "F" model and somtime send the "C" model guys packing their bags. I am in the process of converting my CBF over to CBR600F2 forks and wheels so i can run Radials instead of the old Bias-Ply tires.
