    Tach Screw Completely Stripped

    Yes, totally and completely stripped. It was held in there with a very very large amount of gasket sealer. In fact, the entire cylinder head cover was held on with an intense amount of gasket sealer.. Seems the previous owner didn't want to but a new gasket, or hit a snag and used an ugly...

    Favorite Oil?

    Whats everyone's favorite? Its almost riding season here in Chicago. After looking into more than I did last year (my first year with the bike), it seems not everyone thinks that GN4 is the only thing you should put in your bike. I didn't know any better last year and spent all that money on...

    DOHC working on pods, what to do after removing airbox?

    Hey fellas Just removed the carburetor for the first time ever in my life. That was fun, took a lot of elbow grease. It looks to be in good shape which is nice. The guy who sold it to me last summer said he had just cleaned the carbs, I guess he wasn't lying.. Anyways, what do I do here...

    Wiring Custom Speedo and Tach

    Gentlemen, I bought a custom Speedo and Tach from Dime City Cycles because I'm sick of looking at the monstrosity of an instrument cluster I have on my '81 CB750F. Looks easy enough to wire, the speedo included a wiring diagram. But its a LED backlit speedo that only has one connection for...

    Cams leaking?

    Hey there. I've been noticing a bit of a leak for a while. Just 'pinpointed' where its coming from the other day. I check the oil level every other week or so and it doesn't seem to be leaking enough to bother the reading on the dipstick. But of course would like to get it taken care of...

    Non LED Turn Signals Not Blinking

    I removed the awful, huge, ugly, organe, 7 foot long sticking out of each side of my bike stock turn signals.. Put these little bad boys on. They may not be as effective, but I don't care they look cool as hell...

    I don't know what to do here with this headlight screw

    Just a light turn and the thing started stripping. I guess I'd just slather it in WD40 and let it sit for a few min, then try again with the screwdriver. Anything I'm missing? I'm new to this.. Trying to install little bullet style turn signals on the headlight where the ugly reflectors are...

    CV Carbs, Dynojet Stage 3, K&N Pods

    Hey fellas 1981 CB750F SS. Kerker 4 into 1 exhaust and I took the baffle out so she's obnoxious. Bought it because it was pretty and the 'newest' bike available to me at the time in my price range. Didn't realize I was kind of shooting myself in the foot as all the Cafe Racer stuff tends to...

    Stuck Drain Plug?

    Alright, super noob question. I am a handy guy, so purchased CB750 F SS 1981 in order to learn how to work on it. Very first order of business is an oil change, right? Got the Honda GN4 10W-30 and the HiFlo oil filter and the rubber washers and some metric sockets and wrenches. Ready to go...

    Light knocking sound, loose chain?

    Hey again, 1981 CB750F SS. Oh she's a good girl. But she has a few issues. Just got her 3 weeks ago. 17K miles.. There is all of a sudden a light knocking sound that seems to be coming from left side of bike in the footpeg area. I really don't think its internal. Its such a light sound...

    Hey- I am new to this forum, did my best searching this topic but didn't find anything- or I'm an idiot and didn't do the search right. Don't jump down my throat if this question has been answered 100 times please! Just purchased (3 weeks ago) 1981 CB750F SS. Oh I love this bike. But she's...

    New Member, New Kick Azz 750F SS

    Hey Fellas Been in love with the CB750 for a few years.. Decided 3 weeks ago to sign up for motorcycle class and then got my license 3 days later after passing everything. 2 days later found this beauty.. The Cafe Racer aesthetic works for me. Already had an issue with a bad charging system...
