    CB750F Tank modification and welding

    I've got a 1981 CB750K that I've been preparing for a cafe conversion, naturally I didn't like the tank shape where it swoops down close to the seat. My options were to: A. Cut that off and weld it back together, retaining the original tank B. Get a new tank and risk having to modify the tank...

    Powder Coating Comstar Wheels

    I have a 1981 Honda 900F with comstar wheels and would like to powdercoat them. I have heard conflicting stories on how the heat (400 degrees F) will cause a molecular change in the Aluminum and could cause the wheel to break under higher speeds. Whatever higher speeds means.... Anyone out...

    Engine cylinder protectors mentioned in Clymer manual

    I was thinking about winterizing and read in the Clymer manual about some Engine Cylinder Protectors that screw into the spark plug holes. A Google search didn't turn up anything like that. Clymer book refers to the Brookston Co. in Peterborough NH. Could that be a typo and they meant...

    Ebay Carb sync gauges

    Everyone seems to have decent luck with the ebay vacuum gauges. I am looking at ordering them as well. Do they come with the correct vacuum adapters or do those have to be ordered separate? None of them list the size for the vacuum connectors. Its for a CB750C.

    Vacuum Fittings Needed

    Guys, I'm looking for vacuum fittings I can use to connect gauges to my bike to synchronize the carbs. I have a 1980 CB750C and I just rebuilt the carbs. I'd like to hook up some gauges but I don't know how to connect them to the ports in the head. The screw has a 5mm x .8 thread and I haven't...

    Engine test stand

    Hello all, Long time lurker and I think first time poster. I'm in the final throes of rebuilding my '76 CB750F's engine. I'd like to start it and run it before I put it back in the frame. I thought I saw a couple pics of engine test stands that allowed this. I've since searched the web and...

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 1980 CB750 cafe racer project and I want to put it on a center stand. While it was at the shop for getting the carbs tuned, I ordered a complete center stand assembly for him to install. When I checked in, he has some pretty interesting news. The bottom of...

    Looking for Design ideas, sort of Cupboard-like

    Repair manual for 2001 CB750

    Hey all, just recently acquired a 2001 CB750 that... needs some love. Luckily I'm a loving kind of guy. I have a background in auto and truck mechanics, and a hell of a lot of fabricating, but not so much in the motorcycle department. Looks like Clymer manuals only go to 99 - are they pretty...

    How to make your own clutch lock nut wrench (and save $200)

    I am rebuilding the engine of a 1992 CB750 and came across an odd lock nut when I got to the clutch. It's not a hex nut, it's round with four slots (see photo below). You can only remove it with a special 4-pin socket (OEM part number: 07716-0020203) that Honda is happy to sell you for $60 ...

    Harbor Freight Lift table with wheel chock?

    Greetings, I got the Harbor Freight motorcycle lift table and it isn't too bad. The only thing I don't like is the tire clamp. I wanted to replace it with the wheel chock also from Harbor Freight for $65. Of course the holes don't line up and new ones would have to be drilled. Right now I'm...

    Rear axle nut mm - 1980 f

    Can someone help me out with the rear axle castle nut size for a 1980 cb750f? I've looked at the FSM and all I see are torque specs. I've searched for two days on forums and Google. I've seen some references for 26mm and 27mm for varying years/models. I took my untrustworthy HF calipers to it...

    Toolkit for CB750C

    Hi all, I just got an '81 CB750C (Custom) and am looking for a basic toolkit to keep on the bike at all times. Other than buying the individual tools and creating it myself, I was curious as to whether or not you all may know where to find a pre-arranged roll/kit/pack. Thanks!

    Bores scopes/inspection cameras

    Thinking of getting one of these but there are many options. There are ones with screens and ones that plug into a laptop. Some actually have both options. Most say automotive but few say water proof. What about oil/ hot oil? . Some say color so I'm guessing the others are not. Please let me...

    Will this work

    1st I plan on removing all the Xed out portions and cleaning up the goober welds. The previous owner tuned this into a hard-tail retaining the swing arm. If I cut out a section roughly between the lines and weld in shock mounts will it work. This is kinda what they did with the new Indian...

    Rear wheel bike lift

    Hey fellas, Has anyone purchased/used a rear wheel motorcycle lift? I'm considering buying one because my cb 750 is such a pain to get up on the center stand. I have mixed feelings because of negative feed back/reviews on many of them... I just want to get the ass end up for routine maintenance...
