New guy from NYC. DOHC CB750F'd up K

[ren20]

Hi Guys,

I bought a yamaha xj650 earlier the year. It died(wouldn't start all the sudden) before I got to learn anything from it. Sold it, then found my current bike. 1981 CB750k.

I bought the bike this way not knowing much about CB bikes. I've done a lot of research in the last couple weeks.

She runs and looks clean. Will have to do a once over. I am happy with her. so much to learn. I've done so much wrenching with my cars. The bikes look so much simpler to work on comparing to cars.

Turning her into a Cafe Racer is the ultimate goal. But realistically, I'd love to learn to ride better and getting her to reliable state first.

Looks like someone went through the trouble of doing the F upgrade for you. Thats a clean looking bike. I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this one.

Thanks for the kind words

my-79-750-k,

It does seem like one of the however many previous owners upgraded the K with the super sport components. I am reading your build thread. a lot of inspiration and ideas. Wish I could find someone local that has cb dohc bikes to learn from.

I just bought a F tank. hopefully not too difficult to get it fitted. the K tank is not bad. just a little bit too wide.
