Entering. Do have to say though, 99% of the time this forum seems pretty inactive. Days sometimes a week or more will pass with nothing happening. New posts/threads go unread, questions go unanswered, new posts/activity is few and far between. A free giveaway pops up, and posts and activity...

Oh, the old tag. Forgot that.

Been a while since I’ve updated this. Haven’t really had the time to do much. Work has been crazy, couple projects back to back had some client and contractor issues to manage. In the end, was an $18k loss. Oh well, at least it’s over with. Anyways, got the frame back to a roller to start...

Thanks! I was thinking of getting a new points and clutch adjustment cover as they were pretty pitted, chrome flaked and rusty. But after I cleaned them and polished them the best I could, I kinda like they way they look. Letting some of the original patina show through. I don’t want it to be...

Been a couple weeks. Stayed busy with progress just didn’t post anything up. Here’s what was accomplished.

So case markings are BBBBC and crank markings are ACACA, Rods are 1111/4444 So if I’m understanding this correct, these should’ve been Green brown green brown brown bearings for the crank and all yellows for the rods. Should I just order all greens and be ok with a little more clearance...

Oh, pics of the top end stuff, and the valves.

Update: The top end is done. Everything’s painted, lapped the valves, all new seals and waiting for the bottom end. I got that opened up. All the bearing in the transmission are nice and smooth and quiet. Gears all look good, primary chains look great, tensioner is still supple rubber and it’s...

So here’s where I’m at as of now. Decided to not do any performance modifications to the motor and move forward with restoration. I have yet to split the cases to check the bottom end. I will be putting in new bearings for the whole bottom end, seals and orings, and new chains, tensioners and...

Yeah, just looked all their services up. And seeing the prices of all that, I think this bike will be fine in stock format. As will I. Yeah a racey bike would be cool, but not at $2400 for a shortblock. Let alone a BB kit, cylinder and head work. We’re talking $4000+ in the motor alone. I’ll...

So what would a build like that be similar to in performance? And the two cam options, what would be the characteristics of them? Sounding like a race bike and being an outright street machine would be cool. Probably only going to ride this thing to shows anyways. Maybe cruise around a couple...

I’ve never ridden a cb750, so idk how they perform. Will I be disappointed with it if I just threw it back together stock? If so I guess it’s time to dig into it and get some performance out of it. I’ll try and do some digging on here to find a good build, unless you don’t mind throwing a...

If anyone has any pointer on stuff that these bikes are known for and to look out for I’ll take it. Like the cam tower bolts, I’m already planning and have the m6x1 Heliopolis to just redo them now. But a little more information on the build. First, the RR isn’t meant to be like the race RR...

And a small update, the whole motor was covered in oil and dirt from gravel roads. The oil pan itself turned out nice. But so did most of the other covers I’ve done so far. Some before-during-and done shots of what just the oil pan, as well as the other parts looked like.
