I'll take a look, thanks

Thanks, if you have any more question do ask...I don't keep track of stuff on paper so I forget some of it.You can email me .. Front ends swaps are not that difficult and the rewards can be well worth it..

Unfortunately I lost the many of the build photos when my computer blew up.I have done two other Showa fork swaps from Suzukis on vintahe Triumphs..Ok the stock 96 VFR 750 front end sorta bolted onto the 81 750...My 81 is a C model ,I believe there's some slight frame differences compared to a K...

My 81 has what appears to be a SOHC tach...It seems to work ok but actually the indicated RPM is not always the same...And it's a beat up gauge...Ok, so 79-81 or so gauges are all the same? are there any other model/year tachs that will fit the stock 81 gauge mounts and hook up to the stock...

EBAY, it was 120 bucks to my door...I also got both wheels, brake parts, handlebars , risers, muffler,seat and the battery from Ebay.Air filters and a few misc. parts from 4 into 1..The tires from American Motorcycle tires, the rest from Amazon....An internet built bike...

I've been riding the bike ...At first the carbs were impossible to synchronize.The rubber intake boots were leaking...new boots and clamps...What a difference....The Dynojet kit, stage 3 with their needle ,the clip second notch from the bottom, works nicely with the oval pods and the exhaust...

I bought this 750C 6 months ago and over the winter I modified in to what you see here..Cut off unneeded brackets....96 VRF750 front forks, 93 VRF 17 inch front wheel with larger 96 brake discs and calipers...late 80's VRF rear wheel and disc brake. 71 Triumph 650 rear fender..Yamaha XS750 gas...

I've looked around for a set of "modern" dogleg hand control levers to fit the stock perches on a 81 750....Found nothing, do any of you know of any? Thanks

This tank was removed from a 1980 750F... The tank interior has slight flash rust, no heavy rust or cracks, does not need to be sealed. The cap and latch are in good usable condition. It has a shallow dent in the rear as shown in the photos and a few slight dings. The emblem and latch attaching...

Yes, the primary drive, crankshaft to transmission............Yes retarding the intake time raises rpm power band...my misprint..

Thanks...I did notice while the exhaust timing is exact the intake is very slight retarded...Maybe a degree or two and might lower the power peak a few hundred rpm..Nothing to be concerned with. I also replaced the valve guide seals and rings due to age.The guides and bores were in excellent...

I'm doing cam timing a an 81 750....I have a reprint of the factory service manual but the images aren't all that clear....I assume this correct crankshaft position, both sprockets with the timing marks horizontal and number one cylinder intake and exhaust lobes facing the sparkplug...Thanks

Well, I ordered a few shims from them just before you posted :thumbsup:

Well thanks for the info.....
