Sounds a bit expensive to me, but I'm no expert. Then again I have a tendency to buy junk (projects)-- &, there is know way I'm buying an all stock bike--EVER

Looks like a gear indicator. Might wanna pull it & plug it if ya ain't gonna use it. Here's a place ta get a free manual--its the OG not a Clymer or nothing, but still good-- http://www.classiccycles.org/1852/3701.html

W/ my good eye on it its roughly 4" over @ 36 degrees rake. Here's a pix of the rockers after 3 days in the dreaded vinegar-- BTW it looks like an early Paughco, nice solid steel through & through. Also, the rockers are lined up dead on just a bad pix. pretty good. I've the rest of the parts...

Here's some pix of the springer taken apart--

And here's the CB 500 that died-- No big deal but I'm not the kind of guy to be riding on egg shells, so finally the kicker kept skipping & enough tears started running from the seals; that & the fact that as I was keeping it running (&treating it right as far as it goes) I kept coming...

& ya got how many speeding tickets on the first ride?

Just trying, might be too big. Okay that worked...Kool That's my junker CB750 I'm about to scavenge parts from for the Kz 750. Is the XS 650 picture posting the same? Cause I'll go & get some more pix. Had so many problems on another forum before--the computer even crashed face first & I...

It goes to the project pile--the To Do List For This Winter I want to do it up right because its a good strong runner but I need something a little more reliable & running around town in no more than a ten mile radius has been bugging the piss out of me. So, full clean-up: heads, ignition, coil...

Something ya could do is relocate the motor mounts in the frame to keep all of the juices flowing as, per say, stock dimensions regarding the engines geometrical position in concern to its economical functioning capacity; therefore, eliminating any need to fit suspension to stock existing engine...

First run on the build right? Need to fog your engine--put carbon build up in all the right places. Fire engine, let run a few, turn off repeat when cooled, then repeat, then repeat a few times. Getting all of the juices into the right place & active & ready Like feeding a baby the first...

Finally! Oh, finally! The damned thing quit! Oh...I'm so happy!!! Ohhh! Am I so happy! I've been dropping pennies, nickles, & dimes on this thing for the past few weeks to keep it running solidly so I could find the weak link... I am a very happy person today. YYYYEEESSSS!!! :devil:

Did ya rebuild the motor first? I wanna run one of Cycle X ignitions but I wanna rebuild the engine before I spend the money, I think. I'm leery of putting a good high performance part on a nearly 40 year old engine & breaking something because...well...its too nice.

Okay, I'll probably not be much help here...but-- There are 4 bolts under the cam towers holding the head to the cylinder along with the cylinder studs, I've heard that they need to be done in a particular way & must sit overnight & then be re-tensioned, otherwise the whole thing looks like a...

I hear the Egyptians are very open minded-- They even have rock-n-roll radio stations! Be safe!

Hey what are ya guys running your points gap at? The manual I'm using suggests 0.3-0.4mm. You? Do I need to compensate for heat or climate?http://www.cb750.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

You should throw the whole bike away & start all over again. Set it by the curb with the other trash, leave a note on it for delivery to ME. I will gladly receive delivery.

I don't know if it works or not; not sure why its leaking & not sure what kind of repair kit that is. BUT, ya can get new OEM parts for your make & model at http://www.bikebandit.com/motorcycle-parts/ Usually

F>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CK! F>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CK! I stripped the carburetor bowl screws! F>>>>>>>>>>>>>CK F>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CK! Its okay I can fix it F>>>>>>>>CK!

The way I understand it is the larger plug gap is a bigger but colder spark. The spark of a closer gap, say stock 28-32, running 28 is a hotter more quick firing spark.

Here is a shop manual-PDF-- gotta lok around get what ya want --had to download several to get the complete manual & it still had a few missing pages--but, what do ya expect Anyway- http://www.classiccycles.org/1852/3701.html http://www.cb750.com/images/smilies/banghead.gif

I think I flipped thru this post but didn't see it--maybe--is that one of those dry cell batteries-- https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5DUWZOtM_eY/T7bCqVPIqGI/AAAAAAAAAE8/IUHkooFUnDw/s640/blogger-image--1653404826.jpg Have ya tried one of those before? I was thinking to try one. Do they work...

I awoke the other night with horrible sweats. I figured a beer would help, so I sat around sipping a beer & smoking a 'grette trying to put my dreams into something understandable. I decided to skip all of the above, being that I hadn't really let the motor fall apart yet--all I'd seen was NO...

Wishing I had one of those! I'm still standing around imitating a silver back MTN Gorilla with a pair of odball tire iron tools

So, today I ran myself out of gas, luckily I died out near some good folks willing to help with a gallon from the mower, good uncut gas; they saw me hobbling by & when it went down they hollered off from the roof top, as they were cleaning the gutters, I gladly accepted, they wanted no payment...

Could try a ...(DELETED PART)...but it has always worked for me then the local auto parts store offers a variety of ignition modules. But you knew that. Kick start, light switch, & good insurance works pretty good too.

Pretty sure I'm gonna get myself one of those pretty soon, so long as the $ in my pocket don't get needed somewhere else. My CB500 would like it, lots. Been eyeballin them for awhile, they're nice. Good to hear some confirmation.

Have a couple bikes: CB750 in Amen frame (parts mostly, I think--not sure yet); CB500 Chopper, daily go to bike; Kawasaki 750 twin (project); XS650 engine (project). Came through the XS650 forum. Hello to all.
