Any secrets to changing front fork seals on an 81 750c?

I noticed that the fork seals are leaking on my 1982 CB750C. While researching how to replace them I'm coming across things like progressive springs and valve emulators. Both sound like good ideas. Do any of you have any experiences or recommendations, good or bad, on the subject? I do only...

Hi, are the front fork housing, wheel hubs the same on a 1976 and 1978, any info would be much appreciated

SO i have a 1974 Honda cb750. I have done some work to it and now I am looking to put a front end on it. the one on it looks ridiculous and looks like a springer rip off, the previous owner kinda butchered it with random bolts and nuts here and there. So this nightmare has to be replaced. really...

As I was riding my 1980 CB750K on Sunday the bolt that holds the stabilizer to the rear hub decided to evaporate, or at least that's what I think happened. I was on the highway going about 60-70 mph and all of a sudden I felt something snap and the bike went all wonky. Luckily I was able to gain...

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...

Got my 76 cb750 out of storage and the rear tire is not holding air. Using soap/water I found the leak at the base of the tire valve stem. I would like to replace this the cheapest way possible. Any tips/advice? My repair manual is not very helpful. I'm having trouble finding the correct valve...

I've got a set of 2008 yamaha R1 fork and swingarm that i plan to mount on my cafe project. My questions are mainly about the swingarm and any problems that might be encountered. the pivot will have to be customized as the R1 is a larger diameter but i was curious if anyone has swapped similar...

Hello all, I'm new to the forum! I recently picked up a 1979 cb750f that I'm in the process of tearing down to turn it into a cafe, of course. I want to go with spoke wheels and get rid of the Comstars, but I want to keep the dual front rotor and rear rotor. Most of the wheels I have been...

Good day fellow cb enthusiasts According to my knowledge you can use R6 forks, is this a straight fit?

So, I think I messed up the right front fork on my bike... 1982 CB 750 C. I pulled the fender off because it's quite beat up, but after riding around for a bit and doing a bit of riding on some rough roads I've gotten fluid leaking from the right dust cap and the front end is feeling pretty...

Hi guys, I am doing a café build on a CB750 K4 but I suspect the forks are from a later bike. Can anybody tell me what model these forks are from? I'd be delighted with any insight into this issue as I want to get this bike on the road. Thanks, Simon.

Hey guys and dolls, Nice to meet you all. I have just bought my first CB750 and I am starting a Cafe Racer build. I'm reasonably handy at mechanics and metalwork but there are some questions you can't find the answer to in the tool box. I have a '74 CB750 K4. I bought a new set of fork tubes...

Hey all! First of all, let me say that I DID search for this, and shockingly I couldn't find the info I need. So here I am asking. Be easy on me! So I just bought a 73 CB750K, and am in the process of just updating things that I want to in order to make the bike perform as well as possible in...

Hey guys, brand new to the forum. So I just bought myself a 93 CB750 and its in OK shape, could use some work and thats why I have turned to you guys. Suspension: I noticed when I test rode the bike was the extremely soft front forks. Can literally dive them to bottom out just by rockin it...

About a week after I replaced my leaky seals they started leaking again but this time it was worse than before. Is there anything extra that I can apply to help seal it or is there a specific brand of seal that does better than most? I got my seals from vintagecb750.com We found a step by...

Hi I'm collecting parts to create a cb900 f with more modern handling but on first glance looks standard. My question is which forks ( right way up) and more beefy swing arm fit without too much machining/ fabrication? Cheers.

Hello All, I am new to the cafe bike world but I have been ridding since I could walk....maybe a little before that even! I love bikes, especially older ones. I recently purchased a '77 CB 750 and have had a blast riding it and slowly converting it to a cafe bike. I love the performance for...

Guy, I'm building a tracker from my 1980 CB750F, I will install a new Progressive Suspension Springs, what wight oil fork do you think I should use? I live in NYC and holes are mean… I was thinking of using 15wt modern shock oil. thanks

Hi.. First post as new member; thanks for having me on the site. I have a 1977 local police model in restoration. It's basically a K7 and has exposed forks as per that model. I had the fork tubes hard chromed and realised I did not check the size of the small oil transfer hole through the tube...

Just wondering what front ends are compatible with a 78 cb750k? I am looking to purchase a front end off a 79 cb750f that has dual disk brakes in the front. However, I am not really fond of the wheels on the supersports and would rather use the wheel that is on my bike. Does anyone know...

I've been trying to find out how I can lower my 77 CB750k a couple/few inches so that I can sit a little more comfortable on it. Lowering could make it look a little meaner too.

I'd love to swap out my tree for the old style that has the factory guage brackets like this one:

Help please... Naturally I tossed out the old bearings so I can't check them for size. The Honda shop says they are 1/4 inch but when I tighten everything up I seem to be running out of threads on the steering stem and there is maybe 1/8 inch of slop in the whole assembly. I put the 18 in the...

Hi. According to the papers of my bike I have a cb750F K2 from 1975. Thats a model I can't find anywhere. I can only find just F or just K2. And them both two models needs a different amount of fork oil. So how do I know the right amount. I believe it's a F since the K2 where made 1972. Anyone...

Hello Everyone, I've got a '91 CB750 DOHC that I was in an accident with a few months ago. It has been running fine until recently, despite the accident, but the front end is bent and and few things are broken. Unfortunately, I'm in school so my budget is tight to say the least. Does anyone...
