I can't see a neutral switch in the P schematics, am I missing something? There is something called a changing switch, so not sure what it is for.

Thanks Hugh, I can read that ok, For a basic bike, there is a lot of wiring. This explains why there are so many wires behind the headlight, it needs more room in there. Just trying to work out the relationship between the neutral switch, light and clutch switch when it comes to getting it started.

Thanks Brad, Nice CBX by the way. The schematics still aren't overly clear, but I will see what I can get out of them, The wiring on the bike doesn't match some of what I have on other drawings, so I am hoping that Hugh can come up with a higher resolution version of the CB750P ones. I was...

Thanks Hugh, I might have to see if you can send me a higher resolution version of the P, as I can’t read the colour codes. I can give you an email address if you can get another version? John

Has anyone got a wiring schematic for the CB750P or a KZ from 1979? I have one in an aftermarket manual, but not sure that it is correct for this model? Thanks

I am in Australia and I haven't had any luck finding a supplier for ZINC or stainless M6 x 1.00p x 8mmAF bolts for all the engine covers on a DOHC, they need to range from 14mm to 70mm, but most bolt suppliers only have the industrial bolts with the 10mm head. Mine have been replaced with...

I have a 1979 CB750P, or KZ. It had a new set of Keihin CR carbs and pods fitted a few years ago, that haven't done a lot of KM's, but I am thinking of converting back to the originals carbs and air box. The previous owner was told that the originals were not repairable, so the replacements were...

That is impressive, you have put some work in to it. I saw the lights on CMSNL and they are not cheap. I’m looking at more of a tidy up rebuild, the frame paint was poor, as many of them seem to be, so getting that out and powder coated is the first step. I’ll see how fussy I get after that. If...

Does anyone put lights, and sirens back on, even just for appearance? I see that there may be aftermarket bits around?

You look like you have an interest in these as well, do you own any?

Thanks again, I do have one intact and they are the same both sides, so I could use it as a pattern.

Thanks, amazed you would know that. I will need an orange reflector for mine, but maybe I could get it 3D printed, but haven’t had much to do with it?

Thanks Hugh, and sorry for all the questions. Do you nickel plate yourself, I’m thinking I might have to get a kit as I don’t have access to anyone locally? I have found a company called Jane Plating Kits who appear to have the gear.

Hugh, What do you do with the hardware, re-anodise it, chrome or replace? I can clean it up, but not sure how to keep the rust off. John

If you find anything more about lights on the fairing let me know, one of the reflectors that hides the mounting bolt has disintegrated. I might see if someone can 3D print them?
