Alright! I could use some more parts!

No. Just all cosmetic stuff. Yeah that’s my worry. Any suggestions on how to clean the cases? Hot water and dish soap?

I think so. I’m pretty sold on the 836 kit now. I’ve been compiling a parts list of what I’ll need. Just need to pull the trigger I guess…. Been working on getting the cases all cleaned up. I was fighting those stubborn dowel pins for a bit there. But got all those out. I noticed there’s a...

Haha darn it. You guys are talking me in to the 836. The wife is already pissed with how much time I’m spending on it. Now I’m gonna have to tell it’s going to cost more too lol

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your insight. I’ve poked around on the forums a bit. You seem to have the most expertise when it comes to these motors. I spoke with Ken at Cycle X. For my application, he pointed me in the direction of the .50 to 1.00 kits. He also mentioned what you said...

Hey guys, I currently have a 78 cb750f motor completely torn apart. I am building a cafe racer, and am looking to build a street reliable motor with some mild horsepower upgrades. Would like to keep stock carbs if at all possible. I’ve been looking at Cycle X’s .50 to 1.00 over piston kits...

Awesome. My biggest concern was not having the swing arm centered on the bike. But I’ll take your word for it….bike looks great by the way. The 79 swing arm looks much better.

How did the swap work out for you? I just bought a 79 swing arm for my 76 F model. Reading the forums, some guys say take a 1/4" off both sides, other guys say to take it all off the one side....

if you go to cmsnl.com, you can cross reference part numbers. From my understanding, the F & K wheels are interchangeable in 76.

Hey guys. Building a 76 cb750f in to a cafe racer. I’m trying to keep as much of the vintage look as possible and would like to add a dual disc set up. I know the 77 & 78 came factory as that. Can the 77 & 78 forks be directly swapped in to a 76 chassis? If they are, can I still run the factory...

Got it! Not next to the motor currently, but looking at some old pictures. It appears 410 is cast where you said it is.

Thanks for the detailed reply! The vin on the motor reads - “CB750F-3156256”. Which according to the charts I’ve read, should be a 78 F3 motor? Sounds like I’ll be searching for a set of carbs off a 77 or 78.

I bought a 76 cb750f out of a junkyard a while back. I realized after I bought it, that it had a k model motor in it. I then stumbled across a F model motor for cheap which appears to be out of a 78 cb750f (motor # 3156256) which I’m going to run in the bike instead. My question is what are...

Hey guys, I really appreciate the replies. I would like to swap the swing arms just because I prefer the round tubing vs the square tubing. @Snider1970 thanks for the insight. I agree with you on going with a 79. However, the ones I’ve come across on eBay are mislabeled as a 79, and are actually...

Hey guys, New to the cafe seen. I have a 1976 CB750f. I recently bought a swing arm off a 1979 CB750f (so I thought) on eBay because I had read they were interchangeable....It just came in today, and it looks like its off an 80's+ bike. So it's too wide to fit in my frame. After reading...
