New Member from Cambridgeshire
« on: December 08, 2018, 02:57:05 PM »
Hello everyone,

New Member here from Cambridgeshire, I have just purchased a 1978 Honda CB750 F1 which I am looking to do some restoration work on.

It is a 1 Owner Bike from new and has only covered 14000 genuine Miles, UK Bike with all original Books from Honda even the original Bill of Sale etc.

Sadly the original Exhaust has been replaced at some point over the Years with a Motad Stainless which is something I am looking to replace for an Original Honda item,.

Any help or advice sourcing an Exhaust would be gladly received.

Many Thanks Craig

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC  ;)  Looks like you have a F2 tank fitted to your F1  :o

Welcome to the forum. It could be a long search for the exhaust.
