Parts came off the 1973 CB750 you see in one of the pics. Located at 07081.

I have some parts I want to sell. What would you say the below is worth?

Im in, thanks

Throttle valve (some call it a slider) as shown #21 has a grove. This grove is aligned with a small tab inside the carb body. That little tab is gone....that's what I meant.... The valve goes in and slides freely, I'm just concerned of it potentially rotating since the tab is not there to keep...

Planning a rebuild soon and i know that in one of the carbs, the sleeve tab is gone. I assume someone either did not match the slider groove with the tab or tried to spin the slider while inside the carb and the tab got broken off. Can this potentially cause a problem? I think highly unlikely...

So I did more looking around and its not coming from behind the sprocket cover, it comes from the carbs. Yes,carbs, this leads me to believe its probably not metal on metal knocking but rather air being sucked in louder than I would expect therefore making that sound resembling a constant...

1973 CB750. How long does yours take to warm up? With a cold start, I keep the choke fully open for about a minute, then close it. At this point I have to adjust the idle screw probably about a whole turn in order to keep the RPM around 1000 without the bike cutting off, oil pressure gauge...

Title pretty much says it. While idling I hear a light metal on metal knocking. I hear it the most clearly when my head is down by the front sprocket cover. This knocking is consistent and follows a timed pattern. Any ideas?

Thanks. love the paint.....or the lack of... I sandblasted the tank and left whatever wouldnt come off. Bondo'd some dents, put the numbers on the sides, sprayed silver to match the old paint/primer, sanded it down to look worn out and thats it. Now I just polish it once a week. Then the side...

This is what I installed. Its about as loud as a car with a low tone sound. FIAMM 72012 12 V Low Note http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DN7T3A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 I made a bracket and installed it here:

Thanks, keep me posted

I'm in Springfield. That exhaust came with the bike but it looks like one of those Carpy exhaust maybe???? Installed a fork brace and low tone horn. Upgraded rear shocks to the Progressive 12 series with standard springs and do feel the difference. Now the front needs an upgrade. But... I'm...
