Hey guys

So iv managed to grab myself a sweet cb750f from Gui down in wellington. Hes done an awesome job on the build so far. prefect for me to add my own personal style to the bike. Being my first road bike i still need to make contacts up here in auckland/north shore. will get a picture of the bike up soon. but yeah 1982 cafe racer style cb750f.

First things first; im after someone to clean my carbs out and give them a good tune, whos the best to go to ?

Cheers

Bryce

Good stuff. Grab a workshop manual. Vacum carbs I think? You can get a set of balance guages online reasonable and tinker.


Note - check the age of the tyres - if old (4-5 years plus) replace them they would have hardened up and be shite.

Unlike some of the others I found mine a very safe bike although it did command respect on tight hilly bends as it did not have much low down torque. I kept mine for 23 years and only sold it due to looming parts availability issues.

For you , or the bike?

Welcome. Cool bike ... I rode one of them back in the day ... very nice ... (it wasn't mine so I couldn't, in all good faith, thrash it ...)
