I made a post somewhere commenting about what mild winter weather we usually get in the UK, and how people use motorcycles all year...

Surprisingly hard to find compared to the "classic" K type tank. Nobody is making pattern replicas of these AFAIK, whereas lots of...

Apparently CB750 carbs particularly don't like those cone shaped individual air filters. Better to find a standard airbox if you can...

Graham (Loki) is unfortunately based in the UK. The last time I tried to buy "Aircraft Stripper" , I found that it's not available in...

I wouldn't be happy about trying to seal over it TBH. Have you thought about using a strong solvent to dissolve it. People keep making...

Are the Chinese ones specifically for the F1 ? I bought a set and they will fit the F1 and then again they won't. They foul on the...

Maximum temperature 100°C at normal atmospheric pressure. That makes sense. More controlled than just pointing a paint stripper gun at...

If I'm reading this correctly, you require a tank for a '76 CB750F ? Well I've now got seven of them here, but unfortunately I don't...

I've got a seat with two "dents" in the cover/foam. Caused by having another seat stacked on top of it for years. Cover is otherwise...

When they replaced the individual cables with the system with lifting arms etc ? That came in with the 1971 MY CB750K1. Honda made a lot...

Would that be worth the effort on a K type tank ? Pattern ones are being manufactured in several different countries and the knock on...

If it was in the UK, I'd be looking for a better tank without any serious corrosion issues. I've no idea what the Australian spares...

Total strip down required. I think I'd tend to regard anything from that engine as suspect. Then again, I suppose that you could...

Never had this problem myself, but logic would seem to suggest that you've got a ring issue there. So now it would seem to come down to...

Thanks for that. I like the idea of using syringes instead of brushes. And convenient too, considering there are loads of used ones...

I've just bought a spare tank for my K1/K4 project, and totally against Sod's Law, the one badge on this tank is the LH one that I'm...

7°C outside (45° F) at 10pm here Warm but very wet I'm afraid. Cloud everywhere, not a star to be seen. When we get clear skies the...

Many thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, doing long trips only is something that I can't promise myself at present. The bike may well...

I've just taken the plunge and bought a replica exhaust system for my K1-K4 hybrid. It will probably get a trial fitting sometime...

The K7/K8 frame is longer behind the rear unit mounts, because it's actually based on the F series frames, not the frame used on the K0...

I've got to admit that I've never actually managed to find a side panel that hasn't been over painted, not even a cracked one. My best...

Also, if you lower both ends, the side stand will not be functional, and you'll need the strength of King Kong to haul it onto the...

Thanks for that ! Looks like getting some T-Cut on the tank this weekend, and cleaning/polishing through 53 years of dirt and grease...

I believe that the "Motorcycle Seat Factory " of Vietnam does low profile seats for some bikes. Might lose an inch or so. Not exactly...

I've got to paint a pair of side panels this colour to match a tank. The tank isn't exactly mint, so I'm thinking car colour rattle...

Found this on another forum circa 2007 Photo of cover in Phantom Black from a different post

Yeah I tried that too. Honda Shaow Phantom - Black Edition How annoying. Like when I search for CB750F2 and Honda made another 750 in...
