Scour facebook marketplace and be prepared to pay some shipping. You may also have to buy someone's other parts they are selling to get the tank you need. Good luck

Thanks! BTW tell your wife she did a great job!

What exhaust did you use? Do you have a website for it? Great looking bike!

I have the same question! If that is your 750k in the profile pic it is a great looking bike!

I am at the point I want to order tires for my project. I like the Dunlop d404 look and I have Dunlops on other bikes that I like. The current sizes on my bike (may not be optimum) are: Front 100/90-19 Rear 130/90-18 I didn't see those sizes available where I looked anyone else have these or...

I am ready to win it!

I love the cb1100, unfortunately in a weak moment I recently sold it...and I regret it, lol Fit and finish was beautiful, engine fantastic! I would say the only weak area was suspension. I probably would have upgraded if I kept it. In my opinion it is great around town and that's how I used...

UPDATE Chased it down this afternoon. Broken wire that goes from ignition switch to starter solenoid (yellow/red stripe), found the break right under the triple clamp. Spliced a new section in. Clymer wiring diagram was helpful. Now onto the next item on the long list.

Latest project '79 cb750k Currently chasing down an ignition/harness ground. Cleaning as I go. Sourcing a lot of parts. Looking to make a survivor/restmod style, not a restoration or a Cafe racer.

Found one in really nice shape from a '79! Cover needs replacing but the rest is mint. Thanks for the feedback

Updated list, found a lot of what I needed. I actually found some side cover emblems but would like a nicer pair if possible. I ended up with some extras so when I know what I don't need will post here first. Thanks for looking.

I think you are on to something....now how to track it down. I attempted to test for power coming back to the solenoid when the star button is pushed...did not show any power. Got to track that ground down.... Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions! I started with a new battery, then assumed the solenoid was bad, then changed to a new starter switch, then tried a different stock starter switch...no change with any of those options?

I am working on my new project, making sure I have spark, compression and fuel. I can only get it to turn over by jumping the posts on the starter solenoid. - new solenoid - new ignition switch - replaced right hand controls (ie starter switch) - new battery - neutral switch seems to work...

Too much rust I am afraid!
