Hi.

Name's Rod. I'm a low-budget bike kind of guy... "ratbikes". I buy cheap, fix 'em myself and ride the snot out of them. I'm currently on a SOHC CB750K that's treating me far better than I'm treating it.

I have found myself with enough spare parts to assemble another complete 750K and plan on doing so, with the end goal of turning it into a "Sidecar" rig. I use quotations as I have no plans of making it "passenger friendly", it will be for winter stability, and set up to allow me to lash winter gear to it for the days I head off into the middle of nowhere... maybe a strong wire basket and a big bungie net, haven't decided yet.

So, I hope I've come to the right place, and I hope I can ask a few questions...or more than a few, most likely.

So, I'm gonna head off and do some reading, in the hopes that I can find answers without asking the same questions you've heard 1000 times already.
