    I need comment on this one. Strongly differing opinions were found and encountered in different projects/forums regarding the placement of the regulator and cdi parts. Some strongly believe that the parts in question (circled in blue) should be placed in the undercarriage in terms of cooling...

    Fuel lines done Fuel line from the tank -> fuel filter -> carbs. It was little tricky to figure out where and how to put fuel filter without too much "uphills" and turns to the hose. I used pipeclamp with rubber insulation to hold fuel filter in its place Coating the tank The fuel...

    CB750 -79 and Mikuni VM29SS (jets!)

    Hi, I have CB750K(Z) -79 with Mikuni VM29SS carbs. Does anyone else has this kind of set-up and could give an advice about the jets? What size should I buy, so it will work as smooth as possible. I have pretty straight custom made exhaust (4-2-1) and oval shape pods. Thank you guys!

    Solved few big problems... Rear shock. Original GSXR1000 rear shock had a gaschamber and it was way too close to the carb, so I couldn't fit the pods. Finally solution was to buy a new rear shock YSS MZ456-305TR-28X. Model is made to fit in Honda CB600 and length of it is 305mm. Only problem...

    UPDATE! As I told in my previous post, the bike was in a workshop for exhaust modification and to plug tachometer hole. Around 1,5 weeks ago, I found used carbs from Germany. Those should be much easier to adjust/set/tune to work with pods. I called to the seller and we talked several times...

    I will check that ignitech :thumbsup: For twin shock... I'm aware of those and that they aren't quality parts. Although I have heard lots of good opinions about them after you have made fully service to them. I'm going to try with those. I'm not going to ride this bike on a track, so we will see

    We are going to do all wiring from point 0 to 100. So I mean we are ripping every single wire out and put all new wires in. We are also going to make much more simple wirings and get rid of few unneccesary wires. More about that later :)

    Honda CB 750 -79 Cafe Racer -project from cold Finland

    Okay.. I don't get it. Original setup is 15/38, so two spikes bigger rear sprocket affects so much? I calculated with this http://www.gearingcommander.com/ It says original setup 15/38 -> 5th gear 50mph -> 3688rpm It also says new setup 15/40 -> 5th gear 50mph -> 4202rpm I like to have you...
