Carburetion issues due to installing K&N individual filters and an open (no baffles) 4-into-1 exhaust system --- no problem. I've done this LOTS of times since 1982 on MANY different 4-cylinder bikes! :)
Mirrors? It's nice to have them --- but not required on a street bike here in Missouri...
Just my opinion ---- if you like it and it doesn't cost you a small fortune just trying to fix all of the things that are wrong with it, it's a good deal. Just keep in mind that bikes this old OFTEN need a lot of fixing/repairs/maintenance that have been overlooked for many years. It can add...
I wound up ordering a Bridgestone Spitfire S11 rear tire (without the raised white letters) 130/90H-16. Just couldn't find a really good price on the Dunlop K591.
Buchanan's Spoke & Rim had the correct spoke and nipple kit listed on their website. I ordered it, but haven't heard anything back...

The basic list of parts to get...
Thanks guys! I've been pretty busy figuring out exactly what mods/parts I want for the CB750. Have almost $2000 of parts coming for it now --- probably close to everything I'm going to want?? :)
Well... I'll try to get this thread going again! Pics of my current bikes.
The latest acquisition --- 1973 CB750 K3 (purchased May, 2015)
My first V-Twin cruiser --- 2004 HONDA VTX-1800C (purchased May, 2014)
And a night-time shot of my sportbike --- 2000 KAWASAKI ZX-12R (purchased April...
Found a good deal on a new-in-box 16"x3" 40-spoke drop center Harley rim earlier this evening. Couldn't pass it up!
So.... exactly what spokes will I need to lace that rim up to the stock '73 CB750 rear hub? [And a source on where to get the spokes, if possible!]
Looked at your gallery...
I definitely remember those old vertical twin Hondas. Went for MANY rides on the back of my dad's '72 CB350K and my brother's '71 CB175K when I was a little kid.
