Build this bike a little over a year ago and finally have some time to post it up in this forum. Fairly knew to posting on forums. This build took me clost to a year to build and made sure I didn't cut corners. Focused in the importance of detailed work. Hopefully you enjoy.

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.

Evening all. So previously I had owned sports bikes, but a career in the Army, playing rugby and going to the gym took a tole, so I have recently sold my 2000 Honda SP1 and picked up a pretty clean, running and MOT'd '78 CB750 SuperSport. I have decided to turn it into something fun. A...

First off, hello to all you CB750 gurus and wrenchers, glad to join the conversation over here on these beautiful bikes. I also appreciate in advance any and all help and advice, and hope I can help others moving forward, too. I bought a 1980 Cb750F as my first motorcycle, quite honestly with...

I have a '78 cb750k that I've recently got running for the first time in over 2 years. Very exciting stuff. I do have one issue though. My right side solenoid, for cylinders 2 and 3, is heating up tremendously. I had the original coil on it, bought a new(used) one thinking it was the coil and...

Hello everyone. I decided to finally add a CB cafe racer to my "Collection." It should be here in a in a couple weeks and I can't wait. Riding season is a little hot here but I'll go ride her regardless. Most Parts came for Dime City cycle Vintage CB750 , Roc city Cafe racer ...

Feel free to tell me to use the search bar. I attempted to but i had no luck. So I have a few noob questions, but first a little detail. I'm very new to CB750s, not only am i new to them, i'm new to motorcycles. I have learned a lot from a couple other forums. I bought a 1978 CB750F for 500...

My latest project. I want to build a cafe bike. I just purchased this 1975 CB750F. It's running and already has some work done to it. I want it to be more like the bike in the second pic. I don't have a lot of experience with vintage bikes so I'm researching on the internet and in forums...

Hello. Just wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience with or has heard of a CB750 front end swap with Ducati Monster 600 forks? I know the gsxr and cbr swaps are the more popular ones. Its just that i might get my hands on Monster forks and was wondering if i could use them on my '78 cb750...

Hello all, new to the forum. On my 1973 CB750F... Bike was running fine, then started running pretty rough after sitting in the shop most of the winter. I put SeaFoam in the tank, didn't clear anything up. Kept running really rough, coughing, spitting, cutting out, mis-firing, etc. We checked...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and new to on-road bikes in general! I picked up this '81 CB750 the other day after doing a lot of research on café platforms and as you all know, if you research café racers the name "Honda CB***" comes up again and again. so the bike was for sale for $900 and...

I have a 1980 cb750 with spoke wheels and looking at the back wheel it looks like the wheel is sitting much closer to the right side of the swinging arm than the chain/left side, if you were to put a line in the center of the frame at the rear and plumb down to the tire it looks like it's almost...

Hi, I'm currently looking for tires to my cb750 dohc build. I want some old school style tires with a lot of rubber. Like this beauty: What i have find is that the preferred tires to achieve this look is: Firestone deluxe champion Firestone Military Shinko E270 Coker diamond Any more...

I just acquired my dad's 1982 Nighthawk 750 that he bought brand new when he was 22. It has 12,000km on it and runs great now that a friend has tuned it up. I need a new battery, exhaust, front brakes, caliper rebuilds, tires, and fork seals to get it street-ready. One thing that bugs me about...

I've recently got into doing 3D printing and am experimenting with parts for my cafe build. I'm currently printing some seat spacer parts and next is making a post to put on my custom seat so I can lock it. I left the lock that's attached to the frame but the seat which has the male end is...

Hello, Everyone. This is my first post. I have a nice 1979 CB750K. Basically stock except for some lower handlebars and a 4 into 1 exhaust. I bought the bike that way. What I'm interested in is making a Cafe Racer. Budget is a big consideration. Most likely going to do it in steps. Not a...

I've got some leaking from all 3 (I think) screws on the face of the crankcase cover. I noticed the PO seemed to have some silicone around those screws, now I know why. That seems like a bad method, especially as it doesn't work, so I'm wondering what the solution is if anyone has had this...

Hello all, Looking for some ideas to replace my front turn signals for some smaller cafe style lights. Any suggestions? I have been looking on ebay, but want to make sure I get some that fit..Or do most just remove them all together..

Hi, I would like to know is it possible to fit fuel tank from CB750 (70s-80s) on 1995 CB750 RC42? Photos are attached. Thanks for your help.

Couldn't pass this one up. Barn find that sat for 5 years. A 19 year old mechanic apprentice got it running and fixed all the electrics. I gave him $700 for it. Needs a lot of spit and polish but only has 13,000 miles and the tank is clean. I was afraid to cut up my Super Sport but this one...

As you may notice, this is my first post/thread on CB750.com I wanted to share a few photos of my build in progress for your enjoyment, criticism, ideas, etc. I purchased this bike in September and it had 8,000 original miles (original owner). It wasn't in perfect condition but it was in very...

I've searched but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I have two tanks for my 73 CB750. Both have rust in them. I eventually want to hand shape the knee pockets. Should I de-rust the tanks first or shape them first? I know that by shaping them I'll knock some rust free and...

There's a hose from the breather that I think must have previously connected to my air box, that my mechanic seems to have just left in place. The end is resting between two of the pods he installed and when the bike is hot a little exhaust wafts up, which I would prefer didn't. The question is...

i have started to build my 1978 cb750 four k cafe racer and this is where i am at

New to the forum. This is Lucy. She's a '73 750 I got from a friend that used to work in the bike shop with me. We're closing down the shop so she was a parting gift. I've loved CB750s since My 92 Nighthawk, Reba. Right now she's pretty rough. Engine needs rebuilt and there's alot of...
