The Twins Together For The First Time!
#1



Finally got a chance to take pictures of the twins side by side. Not the best pics, but I'm in the middle of insulating, painting, building new work space, and heating my garage, and had a chance to park them side by side. The old K6 may be ready for a resto now that I have the CB1100 to get out on for a breather. So excuse the mess and say hello to mah little friends....Wink

A resto for the 750? Looks pretty good to me. Nice bikes, both of them.

Cheers

Thanks Ptero, yeah it does look pretty good from 10 feet back, but after almost 40 years there's plenty of little things that just wear out due to age. (Gaskets, rubber bits, etc.) It would be nice to treat her to a refresh. Beer

Understood mate. My Bonnie is now in real need of a resto. Due to circumstances it hasn't been on the road for a long time. If I go to my garage and take a photo I would have to take the walk of shame on this forum. Maybe I need to do that to get me off my blot and onto the spanners.

Cheers

Cool combo. I had a 76 just like that one only I had the KG solid backrest instead of the adjustable one like you have.

Thanks Tbone & VTR, yeah I'd gladly give one of my testicles for a minty 'Flake Sunrise Orange' CB750! It was/is a beautiful color!













(Well maybe not a testicle....how about a pinky? Yeah! That's it! I could definitely get by without a pinky!!)

That is a sweet pair! Do you still ride the 750 any? It looks great to be nearly 40 years old.
