build

Hi all, Ive been here a while lurking in the background and figured its about time I posted some shots of what im attempting to ressurect! As with everyone money is very tight at the moment and im quite time poor also, so this will be a slow moving build for the most part. Im trying to do as...

New member to the forum, just getting started on a new project…. Recently aquired a 1978 Honda cb750k and began the process last Saturday.. Removed a bunch of weight and trying to decide how far we want to go with this one. It's my understanding in order to remove the valve cover you have to...

Ive wanted to build a cafe racer for a while now and finally decided to take the leap. I found a 1981 CB750F on craigslist for $700 with a clean and clear title so i decided to check it out. I test rode it and it ran beautifully...nice smooth throttle and smooth shifting. I ended up talking the...

Hey guys, I am new here and I am looking at building a bobber out of a cb750. I am just curious what kind of issues you bobber guys ran into if any and what I can do to avoid costly mistakes. Im probably going to start with the basics first, seat, fenders, removing anything un necassary. Then I...

Here is my barn find.:D Picked it up 2 weeks ago. The inspection sticker on the fork is from 1978. The gas tank looks like the fuel has been in there that long.:eek:

I recently bought a 1983 honda cb750sc nighthawk that needs a new fuel tank. I'm having a lot of trouble finding one for an 83. Are there any other years or models that have a compatible fuel tank I could get or do I have to buy an 83?

Hey ya'll, I'm working on a 76 CB750 for a friend. It was running great a few years back and then he dropped it on a gravel road. He put it in a garage without doing anything to it and it sat there for 2 or 3 Minnesota winters. I told him I would work on it in exchange for letting me take it...

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just purchased a 1977 hardtail from a guy down the street. He was moving and didnt have room to take it. He wanted 2k for it, but I talked him down to 1500. I thought it was a pretty good deal. The bike is no means a show bike, but I like...

Help Where should I begin? I picked up this 82 CB750C as a canvas to build my first cafe racer. So far I have added cafe bars and removed some non-essential touring items. Besides rebuilding the front brake calipers and replacing the master cylinder. It is in great riding condition and of all...

can anyone tell me or show me some pics of modified oil tanks for a cb750 1977 if possible im trying to find out how to get that bare frame look :D

Long time reader, first time poster here. I've been riding an '88 Shadow VLX that started as a bucket of parts since 2008, but always had the itch for a 70's CB750. After getting serious on Craigslist these last few weeks I came across a '74 for $200 outside of Nashville, and I couldn't pass it...

Question regarding a 1976 K6 Carb and the the slow jet (also called the pilot jet) the small one next to the main jet). Is there a hole (passage) in the barrel of the jet near where the threads begin and the four small holes are in the side of the barrel? I can't tell if I have a serious clog or...

In my pursuit of a CB550, I happened to come across a 750 with a title on Craigslist. So I made the 3 hour round trip to pick up this bike. This bike is intended for my girlfriend to learn on, so it's going to be fit for her to ride. I'll post as many pictures as I can as we go through from...

Hi, I'm new to the forums, but I have been coming here for info as I have been repainting my bike. It is the first bike I have owned and tore down to the frame. I have it all back together now. After getting it running and going for a test drive I have noticed it pulling to the right. When you...

Ok, so im new to all this and i see tons of bikes with empty triangles, where on earth do they put things and where do the put the oil tanks? some of these guys say they ride their bikes daily and then i hear others say that they relocate the oil tank to the gas tank and im not willing to do...

A Marine just informed me that he liked my '77 XS650 project more than what he was building- or having me build- from his bike. He bought a 750F with the intention of just getting it on the road and then adding aesthetics later. His original plan was to build it as a Super Sport again. Now he...

ii am in the process of purchasing a picked clean bare bones CB750 rolling frame with engine. i may build it up into a cool cafe or combine it with my current GS750.

hi there, im jon. im new to the motorcycle circuit. just recently came up on a 74' motor and rolling chassis. motor is in pieces but seems to have most everything with it (to the best of my knowledge) have the lower end up on a stand right now and am ready to start working on it as far as...

Hi, I"m looking for a standard size stock 78 CB750K piston. I found out that they are not available from Honda. In a effort to remove a seized ring I took a chunk out of mine. Of coarse its the one part keeping me from my complete rebuild. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Dean

I've been wanting to start a thread about my K6 but have been putting it off until somebody asked me about it. I don't have all of my pictures since my last computer died so I'll have to start when I'm into the project a bit. Here's the story behind the bike. When I was 18 somebody I knew had...

The throttle assembly that came with my basket case CB is thrashed, i ordered a new one from dimecitycycles but the throttle cables arnt compatable, anyone know either A. where can i get compatable throttle cables that will work with the carbs. Or B. a throttle assembly that will work with the...

Hey Guys, Picked up a '76 CB750 few weeks back. Got it for $100. It happens to be in the amazing basket case state that I seem to attract. Pros- free motor good battery good wheels and tires Cons Bad title electrical fire no carbs cables needed sticky clutch single brake...

I read another question along these lines but have the opposite question and a different year. I am going to rebuild my carbs and can only find the rebuild kit for the K series and not the F series in my year base. My question is will a K work for a F... Mine: 1975 Honda CB 750F Super Sport...

This is just in the brainfart stage right now, but I've been thinking about it for a long time. Twin motor big bore, stroker, displacement should be around 1064 each. Both motor will be without trans portion of case, crankshaft power coupled via HD style primary chain or belt (modern belts can...

Well this is a start !!,

Hey everyone. I managed to pick up a CB750f frame, 79-82, which I'm hoping to use as the basis of a bobber. I'm trying to set it up on my frame jig and work out where I want to position the rear wheel, but to do this I really need to know where the front one's gong to be, or more specifically...

So the mistake I made was asking "so how much for all three?" 75 CB750F 24K miles, 77 CB750K 28K miles and an 86 CB450SC Nighthawk thrown in. Most of the pieces are there - just ugly! I think I'll sell off the 450, rob the K of parts, sell the rest and build the F Supersport into a cafe...

Hi everyone....really excited to be a part of the forums, and apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge. That's why I am here - right? Long story short, I have always been intersted in the look, and process of motorcycles. Then I tried to ride one. Even in the little parking lot that I...

Well here she is. I finally got around to pulling this out of the shed the other day. I know it's really rough, and that's why I've been neglecting to start this project. And I have other project bikes I need to finish. I got it real cheap last fall. It has a title but the guy I got it...
