Gives me an opportunity to post my latest CB750 project pics. [If I can still remember how to do that!]

My '73 CB750 K3 project is getting closer to it's finished form. Still have some new goodies to install.

I'm in!! :)

Carburetion issues due to installing K&N individual filters and an open (no baffles) 4-into-1 exhaust system --- no problem. I've done this LOTS of times since 1982 on MANY different 4-cylinder bikes! :) Mirrors? It's nice to have them --- but not required on a street bike here in Missouri...

Just my opinion ---- if you like it and it doesn't cost you a small fortune just trying to fix all of the things that are wrong with it, it's a good deal. Just keep in mind that bikes this old OFTEN need a lot of fixing/repairs/maintenance that have been overlooked for many years. It can add...

I wound up ordering a Bridgestone Spitfire S11 rear tire (without the raised white letters) 130/90H-16. Just couldn't find a really good price on the Dunlop K591. Buchanan's Spoke & Rim had the correct spoke and nipple kit listed on their website. I ordered it, but haven't heard anything back...

I was kind of surprised to discover that you can still find/buy these exhaust systems brand new. Beautiful!!

LOTS of parts!! :) I'm not really interested in turning it into a "Bobber" or "Café Racer" per say..... more like a lean and mean muscle bike. No mods to the basic bike that can't be easily returned to stock (with ALL the original parts saved and tucked away). The basic list of parts to get...

Thanks guys! I've been pretty busy figuring out exactly what mods/parts I want for the CB750. Have almost $2000 of parts coming for it now --- probably close to everything I'm going to want?? :)

Forgot to list that, didn't I? I'll make sure I've got one on there. Thanks again.

OK... a Dunlop K591 it will be! Just need to get the correct set of spokes and inner tube --- then I'll be "in business".

Thanks! Please do let me about the tire. Looks like the setup I had in mind.

Well... I'll try to get this thread going again! Pics of my current bikes. The latest acquisition --- 1973 CB750 K3 (purchased May, 2015) My first V-Twin cruiser --- 2004 HONDA VTX-1800C (purchased May, 2014) And a night-time shot of my sportbike --- 2000 KAWASAKI ZX-12R (purchased April...

Found a good deal on a new-in-box 16"x3" 40-spoke drop center Harley rim earlier this evening. Couldn't pass it up! So.... exactly what spokes will I need to lace that rim up to the stock '73 CB750 rear hub? [And a source on where to get the spokes, if possible!] Looked at your gallery...

I definitely remember those old vertical twin Hondas. Went for MANY rides on the back of my dad's '72 CB350K and my brother's '71 CB175K when I was a little kid.
