    Replacing front sprocket

    Ok, I have two questions. I have a 1970 CB750 chopper, and I'm about to replace the drive chain and rear sprocket. Do I need to replace the front sprocket at the same time, and if so can someone tell me how to do it or direct me to any instructions online? Thanks!

Not sure if its a backrest or luggage rack or combo of the two. I posted some pics. Does anyone know what slides on there and have a pick of it...

    1976 K6 Carb rubber intake pipes

    Just pulled the carb assembly off the 1976 K6 and that was sort of tough given the 30+ year old rubber pipes. Is there a technic or tip that will soften the rubber intake pipes to make it easier to install when I'm finished rebuild them? Are replacements available?? I haven't seen any from any...

    How to measure handlebars?

    Hey guys, My bike had custom bars when I got it. They cause me to lean forward a bit to reach them which is just not comfortable. They also have a crossbar for some inexplicable reason and it blocks the gauges. My view in the mirrors is blocked also, by my arms, unless I tuck them in and tilt...

    Carberator, new parts a must?

    So I gave my bike an oil change and it turns over much better now without the water in it! (I used some seafoam, but couldn't get it running, just turned it over a bunch). It gives a few thumps but won't start. The thumps are fairly rough. I'm worried the points are filthy. The spark plugs are...

FYI: I'm relatively new to working on bikes and I've never worked on anything...

    I choose to build a bike that I bought looking like a bag of smashed a$$holes. Taking the time to learn about how to fix something simple or complex, knowing that the bike was built up to look the way I want it to look like not someone else's vision. A pride and passion not a lot of people...

    adjusting valves

    So the 75 750f I have is supposed to have an 836 kit in it I have yet to determine and not sure how to go about that but that will be a different thread. So back to my main reason for the thread, adjusting the valves is there a difference in tolerances for the 750 and 836 kits
