I'm repacking the rear wheel bearings on my 1975 K5. The rear hub is threaded, but the wheel bearing retainer appears to have a tack weld that keeps me from removing the bearings. I assume this was done at the factory. There seems to be no way to remove this bearing retainer without damaging...

This should be easy. It's time to replace the gas tank on my 1971 K1. I need to pull the badges from the old tank and place them on the new one. I think that the "Honda" tank badges are attached to the tank with two male prongs that are pushed into pinch clips. I imagine that the male tabs...

Dear Forum: Thanks to some forum members and You Tube, I have opened the speedometer housing from my '71 K1 to replace the Speedo face. The inside of my speedometer housing has all sorts of rust and dry dirt. As soon as I loosen the set screw to the trip meter, I will pull the speedometer...

Dear CB750 Forum: I have a 1971 CB that I am restoring. It was a little rough when I got it, but time and money can solve everything that is wrong with this bike. I want to tear the speedometer apart to restore the housing and to replace the speedometer face. I've removed the unit from my...

After 40 years, I finally purchased some Japanese Industrial Standard Phillips style screw drivers and can't believe that I waited so long. I also purchased some impact JIS Phillips head drivers, which seem able to get anything out with a few careful wacks. This post is an encouragement to get...

I recently purchased a 1971 K1. I received 110 Main Jets with the rebuild kit. The bike had 110s in it and ran ok. The parts dealer says that the bike should have 140s. My K5 ran on 105 jets. I just put in 130 jets, but haven't taken the bike off of the lift yet to run. Does anyone know...

I just purchased a 1971 K1. This is a pretty nice bike with great restoration potential, but previous owners have not always treated it well. It has some issues, but the engine seems strong and healthy. I only have about 300 miles on this bike, but when I first took it out, the carburetors...

I have just purchased a 1971 K1 and have the opportunity to purchase some Honda OEM NOS exhaust pipes. They are not the HMC 300 that most people prefer. These pipes were made later (1980's I think ) and are marked HMC B 750, but aside from some EPA emissions stuff stamped on the side, they...
