Wiring diagram from USA SOHC.net site (note no feed from + battery to wiring loom so that's an error).
Its not the Horn wire BTW and there is a double black in the loom. Someone else is bound to know who has wired one recently

What's the colour of the wires ? There should be a double bullet connector like that with Black/white tracer which is +12v  feed to both coils from the kill switch. If its black may be horn 12v feed. A long time since I wired a 750 though so maybe someone else can chip in.
It's black. I'll check the horn but it looked to have the earth and live wired up. As the could have been hacked at some point ( I managed to trace the wires for the live to both). I'll check again tomorrow as I'm knackered now. Onwards and upwards...

Cheers,
On the K1 there was the late engine and a early type. You can tell from the outside as the early type had M6 bolts with washers and the later (that was used on the early K2) has M6 flanged type.
You can not build one of these engines from a manual or any other book  ;)

Nice bit of info Trig. I'll check tonight and see which I have. I'm taking shed loads of photos and marking up where I can as I disassemble tbh. I remember from my days messing with cars that the old 'Haynes' manuals can only ever be used as a guide tbh.

Not sure what that is but thanks. I'll add this to the shopping list. Along with new tank, wire harness (possibly), clock faces... etc etc.

Where the pinch bolt goes through the top yoke to clamp the fork tube there is supposed to be a washer with a flat edge so it looks like a D. This is supposed to stop you tightening the bolt too much and breaking the yoke.
I think they have been discontinued by honda but somebody on here was making them

Ahh. Thanks. Checked and there is a washer there (gap is about 2mm). I'll mic it when I get it off as another post mentions the correct thickness. Anyway cheers for the info!
