The engine of my restoration functions well, and all it needs is to recover its original shine. This is the silver-painted version, but I'm not interested in re-painting; can I soda-blast the engine as a unit ? ( engine has been removed from frame ). All openings ( exhausts, carbs, etc ) have...

Was the owner's manual stored under the seat or somewhere else on the bike? Thanks in advance for any help.

Has anyone bought a painted tank from Yamiya / Japan? I had one come today for CB750 K4 Flake Sunrise Orange. It's a reproduction tank. The quality and finish is amazing. On par with factory part. My question is that the metallic flakes seems quite large. This thing screams "Disco". I've never...

Hi new to this forum Can anyone tell me the name of the paint colors and codes for my 1978 CB750K, and also does anyone have a picture of the correct emblems on the side covers for this year ? Cheers KiwiTim

Need a small amount of touch-up paint for the top portion of the tank. Believe one of the colors is R-104C-U Candy muse red, however, I think this is the lighter red color. Can't seem to find code or color for the darker tank top. Appreciate any help. Tanks!

Hello, new member here recently purchased 1976 cb750. The previous owner carelessly used a pressure washer on the tank and damaged the pinstriping. My question is has anyone successfully removed the pinstriping without damaging the paint? My thought was a 3m decal erasure. thanks in advance

Hi guys, Sorry to ask, but would anyone have pics of the various warning decals on a 79 CB750K ? My bike is missing them all, and I'm thinking of ordering some but not even sure where they all go, or what they say. Ones on the net I've seen are too small to read. I know there's 2 black...

So I got a barn find CB750 and I'm getting into the fun part of changing and replacing all the components. But the issue I'm having is rusted screws which prevent me from pressing forward. I've tried adding heat (mini torch /lighters), used penetrating oil and letting it sit, combo of both...

I just got my hands on a 78k and am trying to rebuild it as cheap as possible. What is an alternative to paying 100+ dollars for a missing left side cover (hides the wiring and battery). I'm going to a rat bike style so it doesn't have to be pretty.

Trying to determine what color my 750 "should be" , Ie: what the factory color was. Or does it matter , to the value , anyway. Should I pick a color I like and go with it. It's a 1974 model, and is currently Blue with the black tank accents. I'm assuming it's factory, but other sites experts say...

I just sprayed a Nason urethane clear coat with an HVLP gun on some parts of my bike that I'm painting. The manufacturer directions say to buff it by sanding with 1500 grit, then polish. http://www.axaltacs.com/content/dam/NA/HQ/Public/Nason/Documents/TDS/NSN-TDS-496-00-Eng.pdf Problem is...

Just sharing.... Awhile back I read a comment about fixing cracked side covers with JB Weld. Well, it works great. I actually used some industrial lock weld but I think they are all about the same, just different brand names. 2 part compounds that are meant to get hard enough to drill and tap...

Hello to all, new to this forum, recently got my hands on a '83 Nighthawk with a '82 DOHC engine in it, and since the bike isn't in the greatest condition I think it would be a perfect opportunity to customize it. First off I want to get rid of the teardrop looking tank for something a...

I picked up a 71 CB750 yesterday. It is chopper style from the 70s. It has a custom gas tank that’s elevated. Then has plated steel between the two frame tubes. My question is, if I cut the plated steel out and search for a stock tank, what years are compatible with a 71. Also does anyone have a...
