build thread

Acquired this 1977 750F from a friend. Was a good runner until a light electrical mishap about 4-5 years ago. Gonna make a stoplight racer/bar hopper out of it. Stripped down and simple. Gonna do a earlier model gas and oil tank and who knows what else.

Hello to all Honda lovers, I need some help, I am looking for a cb750f sohc for a rebuild and stumbled over this listing a few days ago. The seller is asking 2.2K€ for this beauty. The engine is turning and seems to have compression. I would like to see this machine in person, but I dont know...

Does anyone have a drawing with all the outside dimensions of a cb750 SOHC motor, such as motor mounts, overall size of engine and gearbox, etc? I need these to get frame dimensions correct. If you have something, can you email it to me? Thanks chapinsc16@yahoo.com

My new build

Hi All, I am new here. I am very new to anything larger than a minibike. That being said, I picked up a early 70's CB750 with the whole king/queen setup. It's so ugly it's hard to look at it with a straight face. That being said, I have a rough idea where I want to go with this project and I...

Very odd question: I'm building a bobber. However I prefer cafe racer seats. Is there a way I could spring a cafe seat and make it work well with the bike?

Seeing all these builds with 18 inch com star rims with drum brakes but wtf bike year model are they coming from?? Just want to upgrade my rims to 19 front 18 rear even if they aren’t reverse com stars. Direct swap with the drums not disks on the rear. Any suggestions?? I have a 18x2.15 rear...

Hello, new member here that has been wanting to do a scrambler/tracker build for many years. With the extra time during the pandemic, the fire started burning again so I started to look for donor bikes. After lots of searching and passing on bikes that I later wished I had taken, I realized...

Hey, a little late into my build but figured I'd post pictures to date for everyone's viewing pleasure and maybe get some feedback that helps me along the way (btw, thanks to everyone who's helped thus far!). Quick summary: purchased two 1980 Honda CB750Fs back in October, both were in pretty...

I have a one owner since new 1974 Honda CB750 that I am in the process of bringing back to life. The problem I have ran into has been trying to locate a replacement 18inch stock rear wheel. The current rear has a two broken spokes and apparently the previous owner loosen the remainder to...

Picked up a Honda trike this weekend, Cycle X frame/rearend and some other parts, '78CB750 w/big bore kit, running but needs finishing touches to make it steerable and mine. Have the long cold Wisconsin winter to figure things out.

New to the forum, new to classic bikes. I got a good idea to build a cafe racer and spent a few long weeks looking for old hondas to satisfy that need. Unfortunately every bike I could see in NoVa that ran was already either built up, or extremely overpriced. So I took the leap and bought a...

I'm new to the 750 family, but I've wanted one for quite some time. I just bought this CB750 from a bike mechanic who had it in great working order. Everything seems good to go. Any advice on general upkeep?

Currently trying to restore a bike searching for some parts

So, I just bought a 1970 CB750 that is pretty complete that I want to do a bobber build with, but someone said "make sure it's not a KO" I'm a v-twin guy all day every day so I admit that I do not fully understand what a KO is How do I find out if I have a KO?

Hi everyone. I was given a '71 CB 750. It had been garaged a while but I got it running. I'm not really a rider these days so I plan on selling it. I've enjoyed working on it and have been doing a few mechanical and cosmetic things to get it in better shape but don't have the skills to totally...

looking for help posting my pics, any advice on file types, file size limits, ........ tried before without any success. just need some help to get me pointed in the right direction, thanks:cool:

Hi guru’s. Just scored a sweet little 79 750F. Been years since I’ve had a Honda, so I’m really rusty. Ordered a service manual but it won’t be here for a few more days. What’s this little gem leaking a black tar like substance on the battery? Also, how the heck do I get the little Phillips...

Hi all! This is my first project of a honda CB750 going with the cafe racer style. Raw steel seat and tank Custom clip-ons Old harley headlight tarozzi rearsets Firestone tires Motogadget controll and main unit You can follow the project in details in the app Wrench...

New to The Forum wanted to show a picture of my bike

Well it's almost winter here in New England and this winter I've decided to go back to my roots and build the cafe racer I never got to build back in the day. I located a running cb750k on craigslist for $500 with clean paperwork. When I got her she was decked out in shoei hard bags and an...

New here, not sure if this is the right place, but I wanted to log and see what kind of help I can get along the way. I've always tinkered with cars in high school, got big into cycling the past 8-9 years or so. I always wondered, "would it be more fun on a motorcycle than pedaling?" Lets...

Hello all, I started a 77 CB750F build over the same of 2019 and have not finished so far. The bike is decently far into the process and I will post pictures when I figure out how to. I spent $650 on the bike and put somewhere around 200-300 hours and $2,500 over the summer getting done what I...

So it's been a minute but here is an update on my 1979 cb750 engine swap with a 2008 zx-6r ninja. It's been a month and we've so far gotten both engines out and the z engine is currently hanging in place(the frame will be welded around) I had to get an exterior fuel pump and switching to duel...

New member here, thought Id share my build. I built this bike to drag race with, both locally and nationally in a Super Eliminator class. Its a 79 750F, converted to monoshock using Hayabusa linkage, motor is 1220cc, MTC rods, Megacycle cams (mild cams with shim under buckets) slightly oversized...

So I have an 82 cb750c chopper build and I'm not a huge fan of the air system in the front. Anyone have any idea for a different top clamp and fork tubes I could use?

All, Just thought I would introduce myself to the forum. Just picked up a basket base 1980 Custom that will be my next restoration project. Recently finished a restoration of another 80's classic, a 1984 Yamaha XS650. I would post pics of it but not sure the die hard Honda folks want a...

Just picked up this project. I have been searching for something to chop up for a while and I finally found something that is almost there. It needs work but overall seems to be in good shape.
