So the time has come for a new chain and sprockets. Looking at multiple sites and entering my specific bike ('72 cb750Four K2) the sprockets shown that are supposed to fit all either have 5 or 6 bolt points, whereas mine has 4. All the info matches, 48 teeth, but the bolt points shown in their...
Depends on your build and color scheme. This one for instance is really well done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVCafPz0GqA
But on a bike like mine that's all black and chrome I wouldn't want them on it. Do you have pics??
Hi there,
Last summer after I got my rear tire changed, my brake stopped working. the brake pedal presses completely down with zero resistance. I've read that it may possibly need to be bled, anyone have info on how to do that?? I know how to do it in a car and i've seen some videos of bikes...
On my maiden voyage today a state trooper pulled up next to me asking if I was looking for my buddy (I was lol) and did not say anything about the fender not being there. So I guess it's alright, then again state boys tend to not really care about little things like that. Until I hear otherwise...
Hi all, changing the tires today I realized I really like the look without the fender. I know it will lead to road spray but not too concerned with that. However people have told me it's illegal to ride without it but after much searching online I cant find anything to suggest this is the case...
She lives! 1 and 3 weren't firing. Had to replace spark plugs (duh) but had trouble finding a socket that would fit. Set the idle a little higher and she fires right up and purrs like a dream. New rubber on the way. Official first day of autumn not the best time to start the riding season, but...
1972
I've been on the site for awhile and gotten a lot of help but haven't shown my baby off yet so I figured I'd post some pics!
I bought her about 6 years, haven't had her running in about 4 due to moving around a lot and extreme lack of funds. This summer my buddy and I wheeled her to his...
Hi all,
I have decided on Shinko 712 tires for my '72 Cb750 K2 re-build. Seem to be the best quality on a budget and considering I don't have a whole heap of time left to ride this season I don't want to go crazy with price.
Here is the link to them...
Hi all,
So I'm 6 ft even but I guess it's all in my torso because I can't sit flat footed on my mostly stock '72. I need less than an inch I'd say. Anyone know of any seats that have a lower contour that can fit without any heavy modification?
Alright, I found these and the tread actually looks similar to the tires on her right now

When I put in my bike type it says they won't fit, but the measurements match what I need. Maybe the reason it says they won't work is because these...
Grepper, did those have tubes? If so did you have any trouble mounting them? I ask because I've read that even though it's possible to mount tubeless tires on a rim that needs tubes, it can make for a pretty tight fit.
I guess I just cant trust the sites info because the Dunlop k70s on j&p are the same size as the bike bandit ones and it still says they won't fit, but obviously you got them on yours.
Looking on multiple sites, at a rear tire. Should be 110/90-18 but on, for instance, bike bandit or j&p cycles its saying that size won't fit a '72 and suggested something ending in a -16 but that cant possibly be right, right? The whole tire conversion thing is confusing but I know the rear is...
Hi all,
After shes been sitting for a few years, I finally have the means and time to get my bike on the road. Not much needed to get her running, just a new ignition switch, clutch cable, and some tlc. Only thing left to get her on the road is some new tires.
My dillema is in choosing which...
