    Choke cable binding

    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...

    Choke cable binding

    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...

    Full-Face Vintage, anyone?

    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.

    Angry at my past self.

    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.

    Angry at my past self.

    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.

    59 Club Merch.

    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!"

    59 Club Merch.

    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...

    Sorry, but cool is one of the most subjective concepts there is unless you're living inside the brain of the Fonze. If I can walk up to something and say "cool", and my buddy can look at the same thing and say "not cool", then obviously it's not a concrete definition. If I point to a rock and...

    59 Club Merch.

    Yeah, I'm totally naive. At least I'm not a dick, though. That must suck. ;D I've looked at the sponsors, and I really like rust revolutions stuff. My real question was, why there are 59 patches out the arse, but no t-shirts. Just a curiosity if anyone knows.

    Not much of a Walmart shopper. Anything actually worth a damn at Old Navy?

    POS of the month....

    I know that there's someone out there that will say to this bike, "nice Norton" and have no idea. Maybe that's the thought behind it. On an unrelated note, my CB says Honda in the same Norton lettering...done by the previous owner, but I'm the one rocking it all the same. Same thing? Maybe.
