Back where I'm from there was this shop that would make rings if you gave them the specs, it wasn't for a bad price either. Does anyone know of any sites that do this?

Will do, thank you! I'll be taking the motor apart just to ensure everything is clean and good to go. What type of specifi replacement parts are we talking here, gaskets and pistons? I'm hoping between the two motors I should be able to get somethign running!

Just looked at the Heads and both are 410 so I'll keep that in mind if I rebuild that extra motor. Now the Carbs that acquired are "keyholes" and to my understanding that is what the '77 & '78 models used, am I correct in thinking they are compatible with my motor?

I'll get back to you on the motor heads. As for the motor itself they both start off with CB750FE-31 and I believe end with 3. I was under the impression that it wasn't an F2, sure hope you can confirm this, HA! I've been looking for '78 CB750F parts. I'll be running the motor I initially got...

I'll definitely keep you in mind. As of right now I'll be holding on to most of it until I finish my bike. I really need to go through that box and figure out what I can use.

Thanks MotoGTP I'll keep that in mind! I think I'll be focusing on this parts bike I just got. The guy I bought all this from was in a giving mood I suppose, all of this for $300 seems like a good deal to me!! I guess he decided to practice welding on something he'll be going 75mph on, the...

Sounds good, I'll see what route my buddy is comfortable going with. Thank you.

Thank you dirtdigger that was the route I was going to take. I have a friend who's a certified welder, he should be able to do it. How likely is the frame going to warp, should I have the motor installed when the welding is being done? I imaging I'll be able to use part of the frame from the...

Thanks Travis! I JUST found a deal today, this guy has this project that has gone horribly wrong. Everything but the frame itself is apparently in good condition, carbs included to! $300 We'll see.. I was getting the grime off of my frame today and I hit my first (of I'm sure many) bump in...

I just finished taking the motor out, now its time for some cleaning and sanding! I have the motor sitting on a stand. I imagine it will be a week or two until I get to the motor so I'm looking for a better way to store it, any suggestions?

I have the title in hand, that's the main reason I bought it. I've been through the trouble of getting a title and I never want to deal with that again. As far as the wheels go I've been looking at putting together my own, I have a good friend who knows all about it. I'm still up in the air for...

Hey everyone, I just thought I'd make a thread to keep me motivated on this new project I just recently bought. Here she is. What you see is what I got. All in all the frame looks to be in good shape, a little dirty with some rust here and there but no corrosion. The engine has good...

VERY usefull information, thank you for sharing!! I can't wait to see how it looks.

Whatever happened to this bike? Is it done? Great work, quite an inspiration!

Would you recommend this for a frame? I had planned on just sanding it down and using a wire brust but this seems like it would work better. Thanks!
