hey there, i don´t really know how to properly introduce myself to this site, so i`ll go straight to the point. I`m from Baja California, Mexico, Mexicali to be more exact. for the last couple of years i fantasized with starting a project and just couldn`t get the basic stuff, a bike. last month i finally came across what i was looking for a 1976 honda cb750f. there are lots of cons at this point, 1st one: i haven`t ride a bike (2 wheel bike) ever, and well i think that says it all. i maybe know more about how the universe was created than how an engine works at this point. but that doesn`t really worries me (don`t know if that bad or good D:. .) i know i`m not the only one that jumped into this hobby or lifestyle for a lot o you, and won`t be the last. Well, i think that makes it for an introduction. Last thing, could somebody tell me where i can get the piston kit i need? i`ve been looking on ebay and doing some internet searching and, maybe it is because i don`t know much about bikes reght now, but i can`t find anything. i`ll apreciatte if somebody could help me.

hey i've seen your work on pipeburn.com really nice bike i really liked the tail section, actually a friend of mine is planing on buying that same gl125 after watching how yours turned out.
for the moment i'm not sure of what i really want, i'm between the cafe style because of the racing look, on the other hand i like brats because i think they look more vintage. maybe i'll try to pull a little bit of both.
the plan i have for the moment is to get the engine ass good as new, i bought it running but after taking, well to an expert, he told me that the 4 pistons were in really bad condition, seems that the previous owner didn't do the regular engine service. i didnt want to try to fix the engine myself, because as i said, i don't know much about motorcycles, and i didnt want to mess it up.
after i get the mechanical part done, thats when i plan to try to do the rest of the job myself with some help from service manuals i dowloaded. well that's as far as i can go for the moment, i think. about the pistons i'm trying to get the stock ones but the only thing i found was some 836 kits and some used on ebay but i would like to buy them new, if you have any information i would really apreciated. Hope to see another work from CRQ.

Hey tranks men!

<a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ighbe"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/ighbe.jpg"></a>
After first cirgury
<a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/zu96g"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/zu96g.jpg"></a>
when i bought it i only knew that it was running on three pistons, thought that it could as easy as changing a spark plug, but well it wasn't, bad luck.
i want to start a project post though i think it's gonna be really slow haha.
