    1977 CB750F Gas Tank Emblems

    During the process of building my cafe bike, the LH tank emblem fell off, and over time, I lost it. I'm having a helluva time finding a replacement that costs less than $100 for just the one emblem anywhere online. Does anyone know if anything other than the OEM Super Sport badges will fit...

    My bike

    Hey guys, here's a pic of my bike when I got it. I'm told it's a 1979, but the more I get into my build, it looks like a 1980. Can anyone tell me for sure what year it is?

    Valve Guide Clip - 12211-250-310

    Is the valve guide clip in the drawing for the 1976 CB750 F the one that's on the valve guide seal? Or is this another valve guide clip that goes on the guide somewhere? www.motobonita.com Thank you, Chris

    Wanted to Share my CB750 Homage to REPSOL

    After 2 years of blood and sweat, I got this baby (K3) on the road in the summer of 2015. Finally got some time to post some photos. Tuning has been a bit of a pain in the arse with the CR carbs and KN filters, but it felt pretty good at the end of the year before the snow hit the ground...

    81 CB750K Project

    Hey there. This is my first post. Ive got a bit of a long story. I bought my 81CB750K in 2010. The guy I bought it from had already done a pretty good Cafe Racer conversion (see photo). I liked it but immediately started looking at ways to make it better. Well, I went a few (or more) steps...

    74 CB750 needing to get it road ready.

    Hi, My father in law just gave me his old drag bike which is a 1974 CB750 (built). He use to drag it in the mid 90's but crashed on the track, so after his hospital stay he re built it and it stayed in the garage. I ride a 2009 Harley heritage so these older bikes are a new thing for me and...

    Just a quick question about the 1980 seat pan. Does anyone know if the custom and super sport seat pan where the same? I just bought a 1980 super sport with a custom seat. I want to get the seat reupholstered but it doesn't look like it fits 100% right.

    Will '79-'82 Gaskets fit on an '83SC

    Hey! I have a 1983 CB750, and I'm looking to do a rebuild. Does anyone know if these gaskets will fit my bike? It says it fits '82 CB750 C/F/K models, but nothing about the '83 CB750 SC that I have. I thought they were the exact same engine? A different gasket kit here shows its good for '82...
