You went from the iconic CB750 to an HD
as an improvement ? ? ? ?

Yup, It might have been an icon but it was too easy to find many faults in the CB750.
Right after I bought it I'm doing 70 down the freeway with a gal on the back and the rear tire blows out, fly's off the rim and gave both of us the ride of our lives. OK, well that can happen. Must have been the Cheng Shin tires. A month later I'm up in Northern Michigan with a load of stuff and my girlfriend on the back and the rear wheel bearings disintegrated. Musta been cheap bearings. That coupled with a frame made out of recycled coat hangers that wobbled on comand convinced me I didn't like it and a deuce and a quarter got rid of it for me. Got about a year and a half out of it.
Peter Fonda was in so it was a 68 FLH engine and trans in a straight leg rigid frame with a 10" over girder fork for me.
By the time I got rid of it in 89 it was almost back to stock. Even put the lectric start back on when gas started getting bad.

I think you've spun around in that monocycle one too many times!

Your killing me! That's not me riding the MonoCycle though.
The guy riding it is a RE owner though in fact he's the reason I got the CB750.
He had a 750 Interceptor and I had to go faster.
The CB never lived up to it's reputation in that dept. either.
After I got the HD I started racing folks across the State instead of from streetlight to streetlight.
