Hi, every one.

Summer is coming so I'm blowing the dust from my CB750F2. Had her a few years now but would really like to make it shine. She not looking at her best.

Fitted a new battery and after a good cranking she fired up. Still got a bit of a rattle :-( Then found she wouldn't move cos the rear brake is seized on. Its amazing how much brake fluid such a small system has when you are trying not to get it on the frame.

I expect to have her on the road over the summer and do the engine over the winter.

I'm based in County Durham :-)

The frame number is CB750G - xxxxxxx, all the CB750 site say the frame number are CB750E - xxxxxxx, cant find any reference to a "G". Any ideas?

Hi welcome from a new member all so, and a F2 owner as well. i all so am trying to get mine on the go again for this summer.
With the number of F2 owners on this site we could have a meet up ( if all running that is).

G was for General Export I think - anyone outside of the US or Japan!

Hi Superblod, welcome to the site there are quite a few of us F2 owners on hear, me being another one of them, i am building up 2 at the moment, one will be a standard rebuild/ restoration, the other a lovely red cafe racer with many period after market additions and a tuned engine, i am surprised there are so many F2's about 30 + years later considering how many people slate them off for having useless engines, i have nearly all the bits i need now to completely rebuild 2x F2 engines, but as insurance i have also aquired myself a F1 engine just incase .
I personally love the look of the F2, i just cant wait to be able to ride them.They are sneaking up in value and are bound to become quite collectable in years to come, even the spare parts are fetching quite a bit now.
Do you have any pictures of your bike?
Pete

Thanks for the quick responses, most welcoming.

The only real worry I have is the engine, it a bit rattly. It running now, I'm not convinced it would run again after I overhauled it.

I haven't any recent photos, but do intend to take some and will post them.

As I said shes a bit tired, but she can only get better.

I also intend to replace the ignition system it an electronic contact less set. Undecided wether to go for Dyna S or Newtronic? Any thoughts or experience with these on the F2.

I think I'll have to change the plug leads as well. I have only used her in the wet once, and she wouldn't run. Just got me far enough away from the house to be a right pain....

Thanks for your responses.
