Hey y'all, I've been working on a cb750 I bought about a week ago, the previous owner supposedly worked on some of the bike himself (which I'll be going over again anyways). I got her starting and holding a decent idle, which was my first goals, but I'm running into an issue with the clutch. I...

Stay safe over there man, and thanks for your service (to all that have served over there as well!) I just got back from Mazar a couple of months back, year long as well. But now officially out of the military! I found out about cafe racers last deployment and have been in limbo about what bike...
