do you have one???thanks

messaged you again, I think your on holidays? lol

I think so, just working on the deal i let you know , thanks!

I am looking for a 78K oil tank, no rust inside, I can deal with painting the outside. If anyone has a decent shape one that will fit my 78k frame I'd be so happy, need to be able to ship to Ontario Canada. Thanks guys. I know there's a lot on ebay but looking here first.

PERFECT! thanks I took it all apart to take the corrosion off and soaked everything in vinegar then reoiled, shes looking beauty now!

thanks again guys, another quick question hope someone replies fast I wana build these NOW haha. Do you guys put the washer on this spring or NO spring? I saw someone online without the washer but when I took them apart they had the washer... Seems to compress the spring to its limit.

sorry I posted that with limited time and not really reading it through. It's a 74 engine cb750K. Stock air box ,KEIHIN carbs, all carb parts stock. Maybe I'll just start in the middle then.

Hey guys, I know there may be know real answer but any ideas where I should set my needle, I have cycle x 850 kit, running stock air box. This is where my needle was set when I took my carbs apart.

I am just wondering if this less then perfect choke adjustment is ok, when I close the choke lever all carbs except number 3 there as you can see does not close ALL the way. I adjusted both sides with the screw linkages and this was the best position I could get. Should be ok I would think?

Also thank you all for your input, it is all still great knowledge to file away regardless of the different opinions.

This is a specialty motorcycle shop, he does all makes and models and machining, so he has seen a thing or two. Unfortunately being in Ontario Canada it's not so convenient for me to ship things to cycle x. He is going ahead with it and I told him the clearance should be 1.5 thou . He did...

I have a cycle x 850 kit, 65.5mm right? My bike already has been bored to 65mm (836 kit) the guy from the shop called and said there would only be 40though left on the wall, he said hes never went less then 60though and he said it would be hard to hone once it's that thin. Isn't the cycle x kit...

ok makes sense. I will be running these signals.. should I detach the wires from the nuts then and disregard them? My friend will be helping me wire, he has more experience then I do lol. I am not educated on electricals...

Hey guy's my bike is about to go back together and these headlight nut/wires had some sort of rubber or calking around them, it may have just been to absorb headlight vibration from the headlight bracket? or do they need to be insulated and that is why the rubber was on there? I cleaned them all...

My dad has an 80 custom, he has a voltmeter installed and is getting 15.1v reading anytime he is on the throttle after 2000rpm. At idle it is fairly normal around 12.5. Any ideas ? Thanks guys

good advice, so the honda shop has my head and is cleaning and checking my valves with new seals I gave them, but what are these in my gasket kit, I am now assuming they go with the valves as there are 8 of them..

ON SECOND THOUGHT, i saw the cycle x 850 kit, all I need is the shop to bore my existing cylinder the .5mm extra, dam I think thats a far better Idea for 250USD then 300 CDN for the 836 kit on ebay. The thing is, i am not going to change the cam. Is it not a good idea to run the factory cam...

great, I think the plan is to order another 65mm 836 kit off ebay. The quick reading the honda shop guy took from my bore was just under 65mm as he said so my buddy thinks it is worth the chance to order another 836 kit. I have my other 78 motor so I will just use that cylinder and get it...

Here is the damage to one, the others weren't so bad .. this kit was from atleast 14 years ago maybe longer..

I just might as well.. OK so new topic here, I have discovered my poorly built engine has an 836cc 65.00MM bore kit installed. Pistons are pooched. Can I get a 65.25mm bore kit or will another 65mm kit do?? The cylinder walls are not damaged, even the honda shop said they are good, but they...

Awesome, i am glad i have the other motor. The studs came out after a bit of torching! I am going to order some of these cam tower studs https://www.mcmaster.com/#93210a017/=t19sgp suggested on another forum since they are scarce. Seem like a good idea?

Yep as you can see here I cleaned everything up today :) You are right, I do not have the orifices!!! Now what to do..... Questions 1- will my 1978 engine have the same orifices that I could put in this 74 motor? Question 2 - How do I remove the broken post rod shown here?

I checked the cam towers right away , it was definitely not anywhere. What are the orifices? The coin sized rubber caps? I did remove those yes

I have started to tear apart my 1974K . I was missing one of these hollow dowels! Someone was definitely into this engine before but the bike was running for quite some time like this. I thought maybe I dropped it down the cam chain hole but my dad assured me he did not see anything drop. I...

great info! I shouldn't need to take out that bearing anyhow, they all seem fine. So the end of my story for now is that I have removed both sprocket carriers, I have a new sprocket as well. Chain alignment should be good however any tips on which swingarm I should use? Not sure if I may also...

THANKS! I was able to remove it after your instruction, just banged it with a rubber mallet and wiggled it. So what are these 4 holes for anyways? I read another thread where a guy was saying you had to get a pin wrench or make a tool to unscrew this and it is a reverse thread apparently...

Thanks! I do have the earlier swingarm and rear wheel :) however i am stuck at getting the sprocket carrier off the 74 wheel.. i have to make a tool. All that aside , i have seen these offset FRONT SPROCKETS, would this offset front sprocket with the stock 78 wheel line up...

Thanks everyone for the help. I ended up disassembling it anyways after seeing a vid on how easy it is. I am replacing the two fuel line "t" o rings as well. :)

Hi guys, I am putting a 74 engine in my 78 chassis and using the 78 wheels. I can only run 530 chain as I believe the 74 engine sprocket only comes in 530, now my 78 rear wheel is 630 size. How do I go about finding a 530 rear sprocket that will fit the 78 wheel AND LINE UP!??! Help much...
