    Leak from bottom of fork

    All the sudden my 1981 cb750 forks have started leaking from the bottom near the axle. I replaced the small crush washers, filled with fluid and aired up. While sitting for a couple days I noticed a puddle of fork oil on both sides of the front wheel. It is certainly leaking from the base...

    Possible upgrades from newer bikes

    Hi all I've just finished bringing a '75 K back to life due in no small part to posts on this forum, thank you for that. A few years ago I bought 3 bikes, a '75 K, a '77 F, and a '78 F. I'm now selling the 77 and 78 Fs but wanted to ask: Would there be any advantage to swapping out any parts...

    SOLVED: Help Identifying the correct forks/ fork seals

    I ordered fork seals from 4into1.com based on my bike's year/model but they're the wrong seals, for sure. I've submitted photos of my fork's internals in hopes that someone can help me ID them so I can get the correct fork seals. My bike is a '73 CB500 K2

    Fork Swap

    I am finishing up a 1982 CB750SC Nighthawk and have been trying to figure out what to do with the front forks for awhile now. I don't like the 37mm air assisted forks on the Nighthawk for a few reasons but mostly I am trying to find an aesthetically pleasing way to lower the front forks to match...

    Looking for Fork Seal Snap RIng

    Does anyone know where to find new fork seal retaining rings for DOHC. I have a 1982 cb750 Nighthawk. I am not sure if rings for similar models will work but it doesn't matter so far because I can't find sets for any DOHC model. Thanks

    Forks seals leaking, again.

    About a week after I replaced my leaky seals they started leaking again but this time it was worse than before. Is there anything extra that I can apply to help seal it or is there a specific brand of seal that does better than most? I got my seals from vintagecb750.com We found a step by...
