I am looking for a new rear rim for my 78 750k. It has the 17" rim. I can find 18" for pre-77 Ks but the 77-78s are some what of an orphan.Does anybody know of a source? As a second option can anybody recommend a good chrome plating business?

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 1978 CB750 K7, which has dual front brake disks and rear brake disk. I want to change the stock comstar wheels for stainless steel spokes wheels but I'm having some issues in finding the right hubs for the conversion. I have seen a lot of different hubs from...

Is there any trick to removing the rear wheel bearings (at least one is bad) from my K3? Do I just knock them out from the opposite side with a hammer and punch?

Got my 76 cb750 out of storage and the rear tire is not holding air. Using soap/water I found the leak at the base of the tire valve stem. I would like to replace this the cheapest way possible. Any tips/advice? My repair manual is not very helpful. I'm having trouble finding the correct valve...

I have a 1980 cb750 with spoke wheels and looking at the back wheel it looks like the wheel is sitting much closer to the right side of the swinging arm than the chain/left side, if you were to put a line in the center of the frame at the rear and plumb down to the tire it looks like it's almost...

Hello all, I'm new to the forum! I recently picked up a 1979 cb750f that I'm in the process of tearing down to turn it into a cafe, of course. I want to go with spoke wheels and get rid of the Comstars, but I want to keep the dual front rotor and rear rotor. Most of the wheels I have been...

hi all, replacing front wheel on K2 and can't work out which way round the axle clamps (saddles) go. (Not sure if correct but I've heard them referred to as saddles). these are the curved clamps that have 2 x 14mm nuts holding them on. they look like they have a fat side and a thinner side...

I'm repacking the rear wheel bearings on my 1975 K5. The rear hub is threaded, but the wheel bearing retainer appears to have a tack weld that keeps me from removing the bearings. I assume this was done at the factory. There seems to be no way to remove this bearing retainer without damaging...

New to the site, here's my project so far. It has been an awesome project so far and I cant wait to work on it every chance I get....

Hello everyone, I was looking into getting some rims, spokes, and nipples powder coated and my local shop told me they would not recommend powder coating the nipples because they may chip when torqued up. Can anyone give advice? thanks

Good afternoon everyone! So, today I purchased a sport kit for my 750 (very excited!) as well as a set of rims and tires off of a Honda VFR. I believe it was a 750 as well but I can't be sure. I was wondering if anyone had success fitting these type of wheels onto a Cb750? I am already...

Hey everyone, My father and I are restoring and modifying my grandfathers old 82' CB750. As far as rear tires sizes go, what is the maximum that will fit the bike? Any help is much appreciated -timchase-

Hi all, I have decided on Shinko 712 tires for my '72 Cb750 K2 re-build. Seem to be the best quality on a budget and considering I don't have a whole heap of time left to ride this season I don't want to go crazy with price. Here is the link to them...

Looking for some feedback regarding the GT501's and BT45's as I'm planning to buy at http://4wheelonline.com. I know both these tires are good. Just curious on what makes one better than the other. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for any help.

Have checked the site for a thread on chain lube but didn't see anything. I have an issue here that would not be a issue to most but with thee trike I am dealing with a jackshaft which the chain is 42 links. it run 3 sprockets therefor it is in contact with a sprocket almost constantly giving...

I ordered the Dunlop K70s for my '73 CB750k and everything pointed to them being fine. The front wheel went on great, the rear? I can pass the rim right through the tire. The tires are 18" , the rim measures 18" (at the outermost point, not where the bead sits) but the tire I took off it was a...

Hi everybody, I'm new to this site. I'm building a cafe racer from a 1978 CB750SS. I'm looking to modify the hub of my rear Comstar wheel, in order to make a wired wheel. Therefor, I need to know the diameter of the pitch circle of the spoke holes of a standard 19 inch rear wheel hub. I would...

Would everyone be willing to post their method for keeping the spokes and rims rust free? I did a site search and came up empty, maybe I didn't search right. I live by the ocean and my spokes rust just by breathing on them. After I polish them I put some wax on but that only helps for a little...

I have read a lot of threads from the group with regards to tires. I know its totally up for the look and feel you want of your bike and price point. I was looking at more vintage tires, specifically the Vintage Firestone Deluxe Champion Tire. I have read some horrible reviews about if it rains...

Anybody know what cast rear wheels fit a 72 K2. I have a cast wheel up front and would like to do the same on the rear. Matching the front might be expensive it is a Lester. Are there any direct replacement cast rear wheels? I've seen some pretty good looking Honda wheels and have no problem...

Best tires for my stock 1974 cb750 k where to buy andcost for tires, tubes and spoke guard.

I have grown to like the look of the Comstar wheels on my Super Sport. However, I would like to eventually put a wider tire on the rear. The width of 2.15" really limits the choices. Did Honda make a wider Comstar (not reversed style) that will fit the disc brake? Goldwing maybe?

Hi Folks, I am new to the site, and indeed this is my first restoration/cafe project. I want to swap the standard cast wheels with spoked wheels...does anyone have any advice? Both front and back run disc brakes. I have been told I just need to get hold of some hubs and then I can get them...

Just wondering what front ends are compatible with a 78 cb750k? I am looking to purchase a front end off a 79 cb750f that has dual disk brakes in the front. However, I am not really fond of the wheels on the supersports and would rather use the wheel that is on my bike. Does anyone know...

I wonder what if any options I have for building or just buying custom wheels for my project bike.

Hey, Can anyone tell me the best tires to put on my 72 cb750. thanks.

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to get the front end squared away on my build. The front end is using a CB750 SC front end with dual brake rotors. I am missing the right side wheel spacer. Does anyone know where I can find one? The part called out in a babbits type search doesn't look like...

Its time for me to get new tires. What are you guys and gals running? What is a good all around tire? I mostly cruise on my CB and am not looking for a knee draggin set of sticky rubber, but something that will offer mileage while maintain some performance. As always, I am looking for the...
