Very insightful, thank you for your words. I never really looked at it that way... definitely gives me a sense of direction.

Excelent points brought up. I guess I'll have a better understanding of which route to pick after I give the sportster a test ride. What I define as "making it my own" is what you mentioned: changing things around to what speaks to me. Haha part of me doesn't want to change this bike b/c I...

I did see the kit for it and it is badass.. just gotta save up the coin for it.

Good points brought up guys. I'll probably stick with what I got, but I might take a test ride just so I'm not left wondering.. And what does UJM stand for?

Hahaha no no that doesn't bother me at all. I have the mentality like most of the people on here, ride what ever the hell you want and f*ck what everyone else says. I'm just worried about losing a good bike in my CB750; I know most people would pick the Honda over the Harley when it comes to...

Alright so this topic has probably been beaten to death but I do need an objective opinion(s) So I happily own a cafed out CB750 and have no gripes about it. The only problem was that I bought it cafed out and while mostly everything is done to my liking, I still don't have my mark on it...

Damn.. guess I won't know till I try out this guy's sportster. Oh and what aftermarket carbs are there for the cb750? I found a set from cyclex, it's 2 carbs instead of 4. Any thoughts?

Awesome bikes! And yeah I never bought into the whole girl's bike thing. Imo, ride whatever you enjoy, no matter what anyone says. If I could own them all, I would haha... Triumphs, Harleys, anything vintage, the lot! I got my cb750 out of luck and persistence. The owner I bought it from built...

That's another one of the issues holding me back. I feel like sportsters are more common than cb750s, atleast around my area. Of course, the sportsters are just as customizable as the cb750s. Vonyizer gave a pretty good descriptions as to the ride of a sportster w/o rubber mounts, anyone have...

Thanks for all the advice. I sent him my pics, and am waiting to get my bike back from the shop. I took it out of my shed and dropped it. I had to replace the handle bars, and left rear blinker. It's now just getting looked over and is having everything checked (pivot points, cleaning carbs...

I'm also trying to stick with a low maintenance bike as I'm not too keen on tinkering with my bike. I'd rather pay to have a professional do everything than me screw something up. And the honda's 4 carbs kill me with maintenance fees. But those engines are practically bullet proof.

I'm sending him pics now, but from what I'm gathering it'll be an even trade. I'm just a little hesitant cause I've heard great things, and horror stories of HDs. And there's really no consensus of what is a "good year" for the sportsters.. well I was told to avoid ironheads, and get a rubber...

So I own 1972 honda cb750 that's been cafe'd up. I have a guy who owns a 92 Harley davidson XLH883 sportster deluxe custom and might want to trade with me. He did do some work: engine bored out to be a 1200cc, Screamin' Eagle Stage 2 kit, custom Python3 exhaust, upgraded to a larger Harley tank...

Good call, last thing I need is a fire!

I have the petcock set to stop, so I'm assuming it's one of those things you mentioned. Thanks for the help! Now I just gotta dig in there.

I know every bike has its quirks. Like how older harleys and triumphs leak oil from time to time. I have a 1972 cb750 and when I leave it on its kickstand it leaks gas/oil from a nipple on the bottom of the floatbowls of the carbs. Only on the left side though, which is the direction the bike...

Perfect! I was looking through google, and my manuals and still couldn't find the damn answer. It looked all the same to me, I just didn't want to start dropping my cash on things on ebay that wouldn't fit.

Sweet, thanks for the help. I'm guessing most of the stuff is interchangable up until the dohc cb750 years right?

I own a 1972 honda cb750 (k2?? not too sure how this numbering system works... think the numbers go up to k8, 1978??). Anyway I was an idiot and tipped my bike over while trying to load it into a trailer. My front fender is cracked and I need to replace it. Are the parts interchangable from...

Yeah sorry for being vague about it. The thing is I don't know where to start haha. I'm pretty happy speed wise, so I should prob start with handling. The bike was a father and son project and most of the parts came from Carppy. It has a 4 into 1 exhaust and the performance cam. That's all I...
