    M-UNIT BLUE

    Has anyone fitted an M-unit to their CB750. I inherited a real mess of a wiring system when I bought a project bike (1982 CB750) from a kid that ran out of steam/skill when building a café racer.

    81 cb750c Starting issues

    Hello everyone, I have an 81 CB750c that’s sat for about a year, before storage she started up just fine. The bike will want to turn over with no key in ignition and kill switch off. I’m hoping it’s just a short in the starter relay solenoid and or a dead kill switch. Where do I start...

    Were the OEM shocks gas-charged?

    Honda's service manual says the OEM shocks for my 1980 K were charged with gas. I'd like to know whether, if I drill them from the bottom to replace the oil, they'd need to be gas-charged after refilling. If that's the case I do have the tools for that but would need to buy one of those fancy...

    Compression Test woes

    Hi. 1980 CB750 Custom Just did compression test and was surprised by the numbers. Cyl. 1 = 95 psi Cyl. 2 = 100 psi Cyl. 3 = 50 psi Cyl. 4 = 70 psi How can these be this low and bike starts and drives? Valve clearance must not have been done by previous owner and if I understand right, the...
