Hello tharrr
01 Jun 2014 20:07
Hello all, just picked up a 1978 k750 off a guy at work for 300bucks. New to motorcycles and riding. Had my temps years ago but never bothered getting my endorsement. This time, however, I will be getting it. Not really interested in performance mods other than exhaust of some sorts and just getting this thing back to being useable. It had been sitting for a number of years so the carbs were funky. Anywho, howdy doody everybody and hope youre

Wow, that bike looks like it's in great condition; it even had the original paint and that's very cool! Here's some info you should find helpful in working on it (see link below). Ed

It is in pretty good shape being a 78. Couple small dings in the tank. No evidence of being dropped. All fairing/body panels are intact with no cracks. Spent a couple hours cleaning the carbs and installing new kits. Kept all the old jets that didn't break on removal for further cleaning and possible backups. Thanks for the warm welcome.
