how to

1) Any suggestions on how to achieve this finish? Would you describe it as Satin? Or Flat? I think its one of the nicest pant jobs I've seen. 2) Suggestions on how to achieve this on the cheap? Any help is appreciated :)

So I have a 78 750F that I am building and I have had the stator rebuilt and in my manual it says the "rated resistance" is 0.2ohms. I'm wondering if that has to be exact or is that around about number. After the rebuild the stator reads 0.4 to 0.7 ohms resistance. Is this b/c I do not have it...

I have maybe a grand total of 5000 miles on a street bike, and I recently purchased a '95 CB750 Nighthawk, totally stock. It's in really fine condition though. What I need is some help on making my 90 pound Japanese wife comfy on the back seat. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind sitting an inch...

Is it possible to drill out the Comstar wheel spokes and re-rivet them to a wider wheel? I am asking on the assumption that a Goldwing Comstar wheel is wider than the 2.15" wheel I have now. Since the Goldwing is shaft drive I just need the rim.

Okay well first off I recently purchased a 1977 cb750a. Got it at a good price considering it was running and already had dropped handle bars and new grips as well as an aftermarket 4 into 1 exhaust(Vanes &Hines), the guy even put aftermarket air filters on it. PROBLEM: the engine was running...

Hey fellas Just removed the carburetor for the first time ever in my life. That was fun, took a lot of elbow grease. It looks to be in good shape which is nice. The guy who sold it to me last summer said he had just cleaned the carbs, I guess he wasn't lying.. Anyways, what do I do here...

Hello everyone, I was frustrated trying to get some filters for my 76' F1 Supersport. The bike came with grungy K&N pods which were actually too big so the previous owner had shimmed them with rubber to make them fit. Not really what I wanted for my bike. After searching for something reasonably...

I picked up a 81 CB750 custom with keihin vb-34sc carbs. after about 30 min. of riding the idle jumped to 6k. After some tinkering we noticed that one of the lock bolts on a sync adjustment screw was stripped (I hope the phrasing is correct). We took the carbs out and replaced it. Once we got it...

Its the carbs that came on the 77 cb750 k7 . I can not for the life of me find any literature or pictures of where the springs go that belong on the choke rail or so I assume. One is a really thin loosely coiled spring in the shape of an O with the clips next to each other on the top. One...

Having just rebuilt a 750KZ '80 i will need to adjust the cam chains soon. My trusty Haynes says to do it while the engine is running yet i was always taught otherwise. Has anyone any tips or views on whether the engine should be running or not?

I am wondering where the blue and yellow wires with female connections coming from the contact points attach to the wiring harness. I have a wiring diagram and it shows them being attached to the coils. My harness has two male ends located near the coils and two male ends located towards the...

Im not sure what it is called but it seems to be stuck and does not want to budge. I think it's called the throttle valve. One of the carb's slid right out, but the one's on the other three carbs are stuck. Any body have any advice on how to remove it? thanks

New member to the forum, just getting started on a new project…. Recently aquired a 1978 Honda cb750k and began the process last Saturday.. Removed a bunch of weight and trying to decide how far we want to go with this one. It's my understanding in order to remove the valve cover you have to...

First i need to remove my tank then clean and reinstall also need to find out what holds the seat to the pins that allow the seat to flip up and open.

I have a 1971 CB750 that I bought in Parkside, SF. It has a story to tell me that I'm unraveling along the way as I give this beautiful lil lady the TLC she deserves after a couple of owners in the past. From what I learned from the gentleman I bought her from, the owner before him might have...

I was recently given this bike by my uncle because it needs some engine work and rather than mess with it he decided to buy a new CB1100. What I know so far: It's a 1980 CB750C (apparently the same as the 900 but chain driven and smaller displacement (obviously)); body, suspension, tires, seat...

Hi I'm Ryan. I recently bought this restored 1978 CB 750 SOHC from a retiree who collects and restores them. I ran into trouble on day 1 though when a the main fuse blew. Others issues include trouble with the float bowls if I don't turn the gas off and my biggest concern - the huge amounts of...

Hey guys, I am new here and I am looking at building a bobber out of a cb750. I am just curious what kind of issues you bobber guys ran into if any and what I can do to avoid costly mistakes. Im probably going to start with the basics first, seat, fenders, removing anything un necassary. Then I...

Hey, I have a '76 750f and one of my oil lines has started leaking. I don't know which one is the supply and which one is the return but they're both old and I'd like to replace the both so that shouldn't matter. my question is how hard is it to make new hoses from the ones I have? Like can I...

I just bought this (81) Wondering if there are older more vintage looking tanks that will fit with minimal fab. This ones rusted inside and needs replacing anyway

Hey every one quick question I have a 1975 750f and my problem is there is no dipstick on the oil cap any suggestions where to find one on the cheap ought than flea bay? Was thinking about making my own but I'm not sure how long the stick is or where the hash marks would be on the stick Any...

I removed the carbs from my 1975 CB750 to clean them up as I am working on doing a deep clean and old parts replacement on that puppy. I don't know much about working on bikes, this is my first project and I am stuck. I have the Clymer manual but it is pretty much useless when it comes to this...

Took my stock ignition off the triples to clean it up and bottom part disintegrated which is fine I know where to buy the new piece. My big issue is I took the sleeve off the top part that goes on around where the key goes because it's really loose and lost a spring or something. I found a new...

Hey ya'll, I'm working on a 76 CB750 for a friend. It was running great a few years back and then he dropped it on a gravel road. He put it in a garage without doing anything to it and it sat there for 2 or 3 Minnesota winters. I told him I would work on it in exchange for letting me take it...

I counted the rollers and got 88 i then counted the outer and inner plates and got 88 so i`m assuming my drive chain is 88 links long. When i look for a new chain for the 750 these parts sites keep showing up with 110 link chains for the 78 cb750. so the question arose do i not know how to count...

Just a light turn and the thing started stripping. I guess I'd just slather it in WD40 and let it sit for a few min, then try again with the screwdriver. Anything I'm missing? I'm new to this.. Trying to install little bullet style turn signals on the headlight where the ugly reflectors are...

Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just purchased a 1977 hardtail from a guy down the street. He was moving and didnt have room to take it. He wanted 2k for it, but I talked him down to 1500. I thought it was a pretty good deal. The bike is no means a show bike, but I like...

For those with acewell digital speedos, this is how you calculate the front wheel circumference when using the ANALOG-DIGITAL cable. If you are using the magnet method, just input the actual circumference in mm. Something to keep in mind: SOHC Hondas all have the same speedo drive ratio...

I'm working on a 76 750f with stock wiring. The dash was removed and the eight or so wires going into the dash (for the bulbs) were cut. Bike now starts and runs as it should, but no working lights (head, tail, brake...bike has no turn signals or high beam switch). I need the simplest way to...

Let me describe the bike and situation. Bike is a '76 K6 with 7,000 miles and stored poorly were some rust accumulated from sitting (1988-2012). On the right side there is some damage; front directional bent and scraped, headlight bracket pushed in, tachometer housing dented and scraped...
