Howdy all, i want to purchase and restore a 1975 CB750. I'm not even sure how to begin. I am shopping for a hopefully running 1975 Honda CB750. I think what I'm looking for is a K model, not the cafe style. I'm not necessarily a natural mechanic but can still turn a wrench. I don't want a...

I really need some help here. As you can see in the photo, my carburetor cable and linkage is obviously very misaligned. It's probably off by a good quarter inch or so. I see no way to correct it and I see no room for adjustment from side to side. Anyone have any ideas and thanks in advance.

Just got my hands on a 71 cb750 that has been garage kept for the past 30yrs. It’s a very well kept bike. I got it for free. Any tips before starting a bike that has sat for 30yrs?

Hi, I'm going to mount my oil pump back in the sump but I can't find the size of the bolts anywhere. I assume its M6 but how long should they be? (And no I don't have the old bolts. I bought the engine and I got the pump on the side). Thanks guys! Dan

Hey guys, Trying to get the bike tuned a little better, Right now from at Idle when I give a large throttle blip there is little response/ the bike almost dies. I cant be a bit more gradual and its ok. Same for once I'm at a bit higher RPM. Fuel accel pump is working. Currently only non...

New guy to the forum, Just purchased my 74 CB 750 from the original owner, he was a wonderful guy in his 80s that just had a hard time letting it go. He would start the bike often but it had not been ridden for years. I have had the carbs rebuilt and syc. replaced the plugs and coils and wires...

So, this is it, the last thing to do on my build before the bike is up and running, and it is stumping me. I rebuilt the carbs when I rebuilt the top end of the engine, and thoroughly cleaned them and bench synced them at the time. I am running pod filters and a 4-1 exhaust, and when I first...

Ran across this during disassembly of me '74 750. Anyone recognize this?

Hi everyone. New to forum and sorry if this thread already exists. Thank you for the add. Just brought home a 74 cb750 my first... Going to be my winter project and I will be tearing down engine mainly for cleaning and rehabing. Motor run wells and dont need to do much from a functional stand...

New to the site and now obsessing over all of the possibilities I have w my new 73 750...It's rough but just ordered bunch of new parts to try and get her running before I get too deep.

Hi, absolutely new here, but not to CB750's or motorcycles. I am extremely lucky and i wont hide that fact. I had a '75 CB among other bikes back when i as young as i am old enough that they were common back then. 30+ years ago, but that is for the introduction thread. I found a 1976 Cb 750K...

Hi Guys Anyone out there knowing where to get the seat hinges for the Honda 750 K7 model ? Only have a drawing of them from cmsnl and they look different from the hinges fitting a K6 …. I have invested in a repro K7 seat but no one has the hinges for it :confused: Any ideas ? regs

Hi there Have a K7 from 77 Bike hasnt been running since 1990 :) Everything cleaned up New oil , filter , battery , sump cleaned Starter runs fine and motor fires up fine - good compression - has 40000 km on the clock Problem is that engine oil lamp doesnt turn off when running I...

Hello. I am trying to find a seat for my 78 model. I looked on ebay and apparently this is a hard to find part. I will buy the whole seat or just a solid pan. Thanks.

hey new here and my dad gave me his old bike which is a 72 Honda 750 in a burnt dark orange color. BIKE HAS LITERALLY 1050 Original MILES. not a typo either. I know the bike has a different exhaust on it and il take some pics because I would like to figure out what type they are. I also have the...

Hello, I am restoring this ‘74 CB750 SOHC, I knew the engine was running without any big issues so I put it back in the frame. It starts perfectly but after a while (when the engine is hot enough) it starts to leak some oil behind the ignition. I’m not sure if it’s the rubber O-ring or the...

Hey Everyone, Thought I'd post the story of my 1977 CB750F. All my moto-buddies have newer bikes, and all of my gearhead buddies are into 4-wheeled vehicles, so I'm hoping this forum will be a nice way to keep track of what I've done and maybe get some emotional support! I bought my bike...

I've finally got my '72 rebuilt and running, and am on to adjusting the carbs. I have pods so I will be rejetting, but for the time being, I just want to get it to a functional state. I looked in the manual, and it depicts a very large multi-slotted airscrew. This is of course nowhere to be...

Hey Everyone, I've Been working on my CB750 for a few months now and have found a pretty decent amount of help on the forums. Before the bike was barely running and wouldn't idle below 2000 rpm, Now its quite better but still a ways away from running well. I'm not a mechanic so don't be...

I purchased a 1977 cb750 for a weird wacky scrambler build a few months ago. Work kept me busy and I slowly tore things apart. In doing so I discovered the previous owners got fairly hands on with the wiring, cutting bits and pieces and adding in their own hackjobs as they went. Upon discovering...

Hey folks, Howdy from Metro Detroit, MI. New to the forums and the CB, but not to bikes. So here's my build thread. Friend of mines bought a house and the original owner left his 73 CB. Original owner said he no longer wanted it so I got a phone call and now its mines. Haha. Going in my...

Got a 77 CB750 (not sure which model) that’s been bobbed by previous owner. I’m trying to diagnose a 0.0v battery reading while at idle & throughout rpm range. Wiring is “ custom” to say the least. 1st of many questions is. “ where are the white and green field coil wires supposed to be...

Hi Guys Having trouble with putting on the airbox , connecting air rubber tubes proberly to the carburettors . They rubbers act like they are to short and pulls out of the airfilter case when they are in place opposite on carburettor …..its driving me insane now :laugh: Is there any tricks here...

So I'm nearing completion on my 1973 Cb750 build, and decided to wire it up with a Motogadget M-Unit Basic. Everything had been going well, and I was sorting through my ignorance of wiring switches to ground side when I hit a snag. I had just finished rectifying some ground issues, and had...

Hi, I posted on my other thread(with same user name) as well, caus I didn't know if that post would show up as new. 74 cb750. My plugs foul(carbon up) after just a couple miles and just can't come to the problem. just did compression and good at 148-150, all 4. and it did the SAME before new...

New member working on a 78 CB750A. The bike isn't charging, at the battery I am getting 12 volts, at the regulator I am getting 10 volts with the key on and the bike not running. I checked the volts at the key switch, 12 in on the red wire and 10 out on the black to the regulator. I tried...

Hello Thanks for getting back to me on my voltage issue. After checking all connections and grounds I am still only getting 9.8 volts to coil wire. Getting 12.4 at battery. Need help. Thanks.

So I just completed a complete rebuild of my '75 SOHC. New pistons .050" over, good quality gaskets, Viton valve seals, stock cam. Head was professionally rebuilt and a reputable machine shop did the boring. Has 22psi oil pressure while cranking. I decided to compression test it just to be sure...

Recently my bike has been running like crap, breaking up on acceleration, poor idle, etc. I played around with several ideas then decided I needed to check out my coils. I discovered I had nothing on my 2&3 coil. I figured if I was going to replace one, I may as well replace both, so I ordered...
