I figured if it bothers me down the road I will take the catch hook off and shave the edge down slightly, but I hope I can just live with the problem and avoid any surgery. I'm guessing earlier models don't have this problem because of the side choke lever, but my cable runs to the instrument...

I've just added pod filters to my '77 CB750k and ran into an issue where the choke cable rubs on the number 3 filter. I have to reach down and push the choke manually to get it to go all the way down. Not the end of the world, but has anyone else had this problem on a 77/78, and if so is there a...

One of my favorite movies. I would buy it just for that reason. :D

Looked at your pic mid-cartwheel. Looks cool man. I like the v-twin cafe look.

Not a full restoration. My CB was already cafe'd when I bought it, I just took the motor out to clean and paint it, plus polish up the valve cover. Then, my wife got pregnant...two years later I'm actually getting the time/motivation to log some garage time. Not going to bad, really, now that...

It would help if we could define "cool". I think we've eliminated child murder, KKK, and Nazis. Did Nazis were argyle socks under their Hugo Boss uniforms? If so....uncool?

Sweet, thanks. I do have the part breakdowns, and that has been a savior.

I had all my parts labeled and placed in baggies. All corresponding bolts were with the parts that needed them. I had sheets of notes and files of pictures like a crime scene...why doesn't it make sense now. WTF did I scrawl on all these bags? I'm getting there, but does anyone have a breakdown...

Sayeth you from inside your own world. I just think you're applying Fonzie logic in place of real logic.

Just doing a survey. Anyone from the greater Spokane/North Idaho area?

Just spotted this. I'm from Post Falls.

Heinz could never be wrong.

Not at all bent out of shape, just didn't know it had been hashed out before. I'm new here. I agree on the membership thing, it would be a valid choice if it would lead to gatherings of like-minded people. The area I'm in I have only seen three or four other cafe bikes on the road, let alone a...

I think that some people are just itching for a fight. They come out swinging if they even remotely think they have been personally attacked. "Norton...but that's a Yamaha.........Pistols at dawn!"

I'm aware that the 59 club is a real club, and that they are still currently active. I'm not advocating buying knockoff products, I was curious if anyone knew why the patches were everywhere but the t-shirts were scarce and/or hard to find. Read it as this, why are people ripping of the patches...
