Hi Everyone,

I'm a long-time CB750 fan and have landed a K0 to restore. Thought I would join this community to get tips and info as I dive into this classic. It isn't a sandcast; I am on the hunt for one...anyone have a spare??... :D

I have restored a few CB750s in the past. Here's a pic of a K4 I recently built and sold. This one was a barn find...I did just about everything from engine to wheels to body work to paint to get it back on the road:

As you can see, I painted it similar to a K1. I plan to paint my K0 correctly (leaning towards Candy Blue Green).

I'll post more about my K0 soon enough. Suffice to say that I will be "de-choppering" the bike  ;D

Thanks Pete!

I considered the K4 practice for when I found a rarer CB750. The K0 is it! Collecting parts at the moment.
