thank you for the advice, JP
I was a bit late asking the question, for the fork and al cables and wiring are already in place :-/ , so I'll most likely try to mechanically connect a spacer on each stop -- thanks again for the help !
For my current build ( ‘79 Super Sport resto-mod ), I would like to limit the steering turning by about 1/2” on each side — this to allow enough clearance between controls mounted on the clip-on bars, and the gas tank, and prevent contact.
Any suggestions out there ? Has anyone done or tried...
Now in the process of re-assembling my electrical, I have relocated some of the items: The two OKI spark units and the rectifier.
Question: Do these units need to be insulated, or can I mount directly on the frame without insulation ? I am not sure if they use the frame's ground polarity to...
In converting this bike into a race-replica, I had to reconfigure the electrical harness, build a junction box under the seat, shorten some of the control wires ... and now I am confronted with the fuse box.
I have deleted the turn signals, and I have built a new dashboard which includes the...
thank you S/A/M
I have SHORAI batteries on two of my other motorcycles ( '76 BMW R75/6 and '76 BMW R90/6 ), and I've had these batteries since 2018 -- never a problem, and they still work perfectly, even when I don't ride these bikes more n 200 miles per year at most. At idle, the generators...
hello everyone —
does anyone know what is the generator output in volts at idle of a CB750F Super Sport ?
I was considering purchasing a battery which requires at least 13.1 volts of output from the generator at idle speed
thanks for any info you could provide me with
Hello all -- I am considering eliminating the keyed ignition switch on my race-replica bike, and substituting with an " on/off " toggle switch. Has anyone done this before ? I would welcome any comments, suggestions, or opinions.
Thank you as always !
... hey amc49, just came across this post
I was wondering the drain lines were ONLY needed for draining purposes, or ALSO as some type of overflow safety feature ...
I too want to get rid of them !
hope all's well my friend ( photo below of work in progress )

thanks again, JP -- I thought so
believe it or not ... I did a full carb rebuild couple of years ago, but forgot the exact function of the drain system -- thank you for clarifying !
question --
Do the carbs' drain lines have to be in place during the motorcycle's normal operation ? or ... can I just connect them when/if I need to drain the carbs ?
I ask this because I just rebuilt my CB750F SS DOHC ( as a race replica ) with pod filters, and I want to keep the engine as...
Thank you JP - certainly need a new fuel line, which I have just ordered; being softer and more flexible will definitely help
What I'll do is as you suggest, make the carbs connection first, and then instal the fuel tank; once tank is in place, I the will make petcock connection. Will also...
hello all -- having a time trying to install my fuel line ( fuel tank to carbs ) on my freshly rebuilt '79 Super Sport
1 ) the petcock's outlet in in a very tight spot, AND it faces the center of the bike
2 ) so to connect to carbs inlet, it has to perform a tight right-hand turn and then...
hello friends — need shorter throttle cables for my newly installed clip-on bars
bike is a ‘79 CB750F SS ( DOHC )
— any recommendation on sources ?
— are CB750 SOHC and CB750F DOHC cables compatible ?
( I believe an option is to re-route my current stock cables by making wider bends, but I...
hello CB750 friends -
in the proces of resto-modifying ( into a race replica ) my CB750F s/s, like most of the bike ... the rear brake's master cylinder is completely gone -- I had to cut it off from the footpeg brackets, since it was welded by years of galvanic corrosion
so my question is...
looks, AMC49, like the right thing to do will be bite the bullet and invest in the correct tank
so many times I’ve tried shortcuts and ended up lost — or broke ! 😉
stay tuned, Boss ... 🏁
hello esteemed group members,
QUESTION - are the CB750F Super Sport ( DOHC ) and CB400T fuel tanks identical ?
if not ... are they compatible as far as mounting anchoring points ? would major mods be needed ?

im having a hard time finding a fuel tank for my CB750F S/S ( DOHC ), so I...
