Sounds a bit expensive to me, but I'm no expert. Then again I have a tendency to buy junk (projects)-- &, there is know way I'm buying an all stock bike--EVER

Looks like a gear indicator. Might wanna pull it & plug it if ya ain't gonna use it. Here's a place ta get a free manual--its the OG not a Clymer or nothing, but still good-- http://www.classiccycles.org/1852/3701.html

W/ my good eye on it its roughly 4" over @ 36 degrees rake. Here's a pix of the rockers after 3 days in the dreaded vinegar-- BTW it looks like an early Paughco, nice solid steel through & through. Also, the rockers are lined up dead on just a bad pix. pretty good. I've the rest of the parts...

Here's some pix of the springer taken apart--

And here's the CB 500 that died-- No big deal but I'm not the kind of guy to be riding on egg shells, so finally the kicker kept skipping & enough tears started running from the seals; that & the fact that as I was keeping it running (&treating it right as far as it goes) I kept coming...

& ya got how many speeding tickets on the first ride?

Just trying, might be too big. Okay that worked...Kool That's my junker CB750 I'm about to scavenge parts from for the Kz 750. Is the XS 650 picture posting the same? Cause I'll go & get some more pix. Had so many problems on another forum before--the computer even crashed face first & I...

It goes to the project pile--the To Do List For This Winter I want to do it up right because its a good strong runner but I need something a little more reliable & running around town in no more than a ten mile radius has been bugging the piss out of me. So, full clean-up: heads, ignition, coil...

Something ya could do is relocate the motor mounts in the frame to keep all of the juices flowing as, per say, stock dimensions regarding the engines geometrical position in concern to its economical functioning capacity; therefore, eliminating any need to fit suspension to stock existing engine...

First run on the build right? Need to fog your engine--put carbon build up in all the right places. Fire engine, let run a few, turn off repeat when cooled, then repeat, then repeat a few times. Getting all of the juices into the right place & active & ready Like feeding a baby the first...

Finally! Oh, finally! The damned thing quit! Oh...I'm so happy!!! Ohhh! Am I so happy! I've been dropping pennies, nickles, & dimes on this thing for the past few weeks to keep it running solidly so I could find the weak link... I am a very happy person today. YYYYEEESSSS!!! :devil:

Did ya rebuild the motor first? I wanna run one of Cycle X ignitions but I wanna rebuild the engine before I spend the money, I think. I'm leery of putting a good high performance part on a nearly 40 year old engine & breaking something because...well...its too nice.

Okay, I'll probably not be much help here...but-- There are 4 bolts under the cam towers holding the head to the cylinder along with the cylinder studs, I've heard that they need to be done in a particular way & must sit overnight & then be re-tensioned, otherwise the whole thing looks like a...

I hear the Egyptians are very open minded-- They even have rock-n-roll radio stations! Be safe!

Hey what are ya guys running your points gap at? The manual I'm using suggests 0.3-0.4mm. You? Do I need to compensate for heat or climate?http://www.cb750.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
