I am torn between which Hondabond to use on sealing the case halves together. My understanding is that Hondabond 4 is more pliable and Hondabond HT is for high temp areas. I have used Permatex Aviation Form a Gasket on another project with good results, but I was going the Hondabond route...

I am currently in the process of tearing my 1971 engine apart and have run into a quandary. I am having an extremely hard time trying to remove the 5 screws holding the counter shaft bearing holder. I have not stripped the screws, but that is probably going to happen if I continue trying to...

Hi Members, I'm a new old guy on the Forum. I work overseas and still had to buy two CB750's on eBay. I would like to get one engine rebuilt and, since (if I knew how) I cannot do that in Baghdad, Iraq, where I'm currently working. I am looking for a shop that will undertake just rebuilding...

Hello everyone, I'm new to Cb750's and new to the forum. I came across a frame, engine and some parts and i needed some advise. I really like cafe racers style bikes but I'm not sure if i should use what i have to build a cafe bike or a stock bike. The frame number is 1005647 and the engine...

Hey guys, I am new to the forum, just bought a 1979 cb750, and the front break is really weak looking to fix it but don't know how. I know literally nothing about bikes just to let yall know. where do i start? what do I tackle first? What am I looking for? thanks guys.

Hi all, I have a 1978 CB750 super sport it is not an automatic. I'm cleaning the carbs. and trying to set them up. I noticed when I took the carbs off that I have one fuel line coming to the carb. There is smaller port toward the intake, this was not hooked up to anything. Is this a fuel line...

I'm rebuilding my carbs on a '74 cb750K and the throttle slide only sits halfway down the body (shown in pictures). It seems to me that the actual needle is too big for the jet, because there are no hangups in the body that I can see that are preventing the slide from moving down. I've been...

Hi all. I just picked up a '72 CB750 from a friend (payment for helping him move), but I have no idea where to start. The bike hasn't run in 10+ years, the tires crumbled in the trailer on the way home, and rust flakes were falling off as I was pushing it into my garage. Title and keys are...

I'm rebuilding a 1980 cb750f engine and I have found a couple parts that are from 1982 cb750f that look pretty good but I'm not 100% sure that they work with my engine. As far as I know the engines of F model were all the same between 1979 and 1982 and I'm hoping you guys can confirm that. Are...

I'm new to this forum, but I would like to begin by saying thank you for your help. I'm appreciate what you have done for me already, and I hope I can give back some time. The vacuum diagram from Dirtdigger has saved me a lot of head scratchin'. My questions have been answered on previous...

Looking to replace the rusted out 4 - 4 exhaust to restore the 750K to original. Any leads in US or Canada would be appreciated. Most of the eBay offerings not the right year or no longer available. Thanks for any help.

Greetings! I'm thinking of picking up an early to mid '70 cb750 to restore. If I pickup something that's been repainted and can't find any of the original spray might their be paint codes somewhere on the bike? It's easy enough to find what colors were offered for what years in the US, and...

So I'm new here, and this is actually my first street bike. I grew up riding and repairing dirt bikes, but never got around to riding on asphalt. A friend of mine recently moved and gave me a frame and a room full of boxes that contain about 90% of the parts to a 1978 CB 750 F. I'm just...

Hey y'all, I'm thinking about purchasing this 1982 Honda CB750C. Here is the link to it: http://dothan.craigslist.org/mcy/5544749470.html According to the seller, it has a brand new chain and sprocket set. The engine and the exhaust are ceramic high temp paint. For perfect...

The years have gone by, and sadly I let my CB750F sit to long. Five years ago, I stabilized the gas thinking that it would be able to endure an extended period of non-use. However, I went to prepare it for use and the gas petcock started to leak when I turned the gas to the on position. After...

Hello, I have acquired a nice 78 k model with 5k miles on it , so I am going to slowly restore it as I occasionally ride it here and there , It will not be my daily ride, I have looked here and the net in general, like Bikebandit, J&P, even Bridgestone and cannot find any Bridgestone Super Speed...

Hi All! Newbie to the moto world and first time poster.. I own an '81 cm200t and a '74 cb750K. I want to learn as much as I can and I'm definitely not opposed to jumping in there and getting my hands dirty. I'm currently working on the 750. Everything has been disassembled, frame has been...

New to the Forum and find it very helpful. Just putting the finishing touches on cb750k5 with 20,000 miles and hearing transmission noise in neutral but drastically decreases when clutch is pulled in. Rode it for 5 minutes appeared fine except for the noise heard at idle . Using Castrol 10w40...

I am a regular on the Naked Goldwing site but I like old CBs also and have both a single overhead and a double overhead in my shop for resuscitation. I have a personal rule that I usually obey, to take on one project at a time. My '81 CB750k is nearing completion and should be back on the road...

Guys, Help me out if you can. I am rebuilding the front wheel hub of my 1971 K1. Part of this rebuild was to inspect the speedometer gear, which I thought needed a good cleaning. I pulled the dust seal off, cleaned in up and repacked the gear. I am now trying to find a replacement dust seal...

Greetings, Its great to find an active community for such a fantastic machine. I am currently doing a front wheel rebuild and at the point in the project where it is time to install the new front wheel bearings. I am using the AllBalls kit 25-1307 My current dilemma is this: Before I...

Great info on this forum. Here are some pics of my Dad's '69. He bought it new in Miami and only ridden 1900+ miles. I'm currently cleaning up the bike and rebuilding the carbs to get her back on the road. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6F8N1ikUtZ4Z0lWa3FpSjZxdzA...

During the process of building my cafe bike, the LH tank emblem fell off, and over time, I lost it. I'm having a helluva time finding a replacement that costs less than $100 for just the one emblem anywhere online. Does anyone know if anything other than the OEM Super Sport badges will fit...

Hello everyone! My neighbor just gave me a 1993 CB750. Here is the info I have on the bike from him; The engine overheated and seized a few years ago. It has been sitting in his garage since. Besides being dusty and dirty, a few of the turn signals are broken, the gas tank is not...

Hello all, new member after just picking up my 81' CB750 Custom yesterday. Met a guy that was just tired and giving up riding so he sold her to me for 300 bucks... In pretty good shape, ride-able but rough from neglect, chrome is all perfect as is frame... Little to no rust, seat perfect...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, so please bear with me. I've restored and/or worked on quite a few motorcycles, but am new to the Honda Four. I've ridden a couple, back in the day, and always wanted to own one. A few years ago I inherited a complete basket case from an old friend of mine who died...
