A friend who has been working for quite a few years with custom motorcycles gathered up a list of parts to build me an upcoming project on a CB750 Nighthawk, I told him I want to build a unique bike with the most pristine, qualitative, robust and that performs good. He came up with this list of...

Hi guys, I own a Honda bike (not a CB750) but I´m willing to customize it using a pair of CB 750 RC42 wheels, but first I need to know the distance from the center of the wheel to the inner side of the sprocket, I´ve found some offers in ebay and asked the sellers about it, but no reply so far...

Hello, My Name is Kristian from the UK. I picked up a CBX750 back in October 2020 and now have a full on project on my hands! Plan is to build a 80's "GP Bike" with some modern touches... Anyway, enough with the writing. Here are some pictures... So far the current spec list is: CBX750F...

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...

Hi there, does anyone have a source for a detailed parts diagram for the carbs fitted to my 1980 Japanese market Cb750c. They are marked VB52 There are some parts missing from carb 2

Hello, new member here that has been wanting to do a scrambler/tracker build for many years. With the extra time during the pandemic, the fire started burning again so I started to look for donor bikes. After lots of searching and passing on bikes that I later wished I had taken, I realized...

Hey, a little late into my build but figured I'd post pictures to date for everyone's viewing pleasure and maybe get some feedback that helps me along the way (btw, thanks to everyone who's helped thus far!). Quick summary: purchased two 1980 Honda CB750Fs back in October, both were in pretty...

Hey all new member here. Not too long ago I bought a cb750 that had already been converted to a cafe racer. It currently has pods and a 4into1 exhaust straight piped. It was running good for awhile but quickly notices it was running pretty rich and has trouble cold starting when the temp is low...

Hi there, I have a 1976 CB750A and he chance to buy a rebuilt CB750K engine. Can I transplant that engine into the frame of the 750A? I would have to add an oil tank and perch for the clutch, but will the motor mounts line? Thank you!

I have a one owner since new 1974 Honda CB750 that I am in the process of bringing back to life. The problem I have ran into has been trying to locate a replacement 18inch stock rear wheel. The current rear has a two broken spokes and apparently the previous owner loosen the remainder to...

Picked up a Honda trike this weekend, Cycle X frame/rearend and some other parts, '78CB750 w/big bore kit, running but needs finishing touches to make it steerable and mine. Have the long cold Wisconsin winter to figure things out.

Hi Guys, Don't know what happened to my first post, got lost with the password. Cut a long / short, is a workshop manual available for down load or do I have to buy another Clymer ? Advice appreciated. Cheers. JMB WA

Hi Guys, New to this forum but not new to bikes. I have just picked up the subject bike which has been standing for around four years under cover. The PO had dreams of making a caf racer out of it and stripped it to rolling frame with engine....all bits are with the bike. I'm not sure yet what I...

Good evening, new member, 1st post. Not new to Honda's, have had a '13 F6b for 6 years and 40,000 miles. New to older Honda's. Going threw Facebooks Market place and saw a newer build trike , listed as a 1977 Custom CB 750 Trike, of course it was only 40 miles away so I had to go look at it...

Does anyone know of any complete kits for new nuts, bolts, and washers? I'm specifically looking for a 1980 CB750F. I've found some kits for specific assemblies (like these https://alloyboltz.com/product/honda-1979-82-cb750-dohc-polished-allen-engine-kit/), but pretty much all of my nuts and...

Hi, I'm starting a cafe build on a 1980 CB750F and working on my bill of materials to get everything ordered. I planned on making a 2-up seat and using/building a removable rear cowl when my wife isn't riding. There seem to be several available on e-bay, but given the frame is a little more...

Does anyone have a good how to for an engine rebuild for 77 CB 750 engine. I need to do a top end . But if need to pull engine and such might as well do full rebuild. Also could use a recommendation for engine work on heads and valves. Thanks Great forum. Greg

The process of restoring/modifying a CB750F SS which I have recently acquired includes --among many other things-- includes the fabrication of an exhaust system; I was wondering if anyone in the group has done this in the past -- and what the experience was ( or is ... ) like. The easy route...

Has anyone ordered and used a Big Bore Kit for the SOHC CB750? I'm thinking of doing an 836 and could use some suggestions and ideas. What works, who make the best kit, where to get machine work on the East Coast...

So, I just bought a 1970 CB750 that is pretty complete that I want to do a bobber build with, but someone said "make sure it's not a KO" I'm a v-twin guy all day every day so I admit that I do not fully understand what a KO is How do I find out if I have a KO?

Title basically says it all; I've been rebuilding my 1978 CB750A for the past three months, and I think it's finally in a shape to run. I rebuilt the carbs with the carb rebuild kits, and cleaned everything, and replaced all screws. I put it in, hopeful it would start, and as it was cranking...

I've read a few places that you cannot use different upper and lower engine case halves, at least for my 80 CB750K. I understand they were machined after being joined. Is there ANY way to mate them/use them together? Has anyone ever done it successfully? My lower case has a crack in it, and the...

Short version: I need a CB750 K4 barrel, I’m based in the UK! Long version: I’m new to this, I bought a CB750 K4 restoration project on eBay. The engine was seized, it felt like an achievement to get it apart. One of the cylinders was badly corroded and so I sent the barrel to get a rebore...
