Hello from Sweden

[hondarc166]

hello and welcome what a nice bike

[Bryanj]

Only thing I would add is a fork brace to help that flimsy front guard stop the forks flexing

Thanks for all the kind words!

Been a while since my last login, been really busy with all kinds of stuff. Both pleasant and unpleasant...

The latter is represented by an accident 9 weeks ago. Took a bad fall and fractured the seventh cervical vertebrae, tore the anterior ligaments and crushed the disc between C6 and C7.
Resulted in neck surgery with anterior fusion of C6 and C7.
Seems to be healing up nicely, but will need another month umtil the fracture is healed completely. After that is a matter of getting the muscles in the neck back in shape.

All in all I've been quite lucky. No neurology, no weakness, no numbness. Will probably have some small limitation in my range of motion, but as it is located in the lowest part of the neck it will probably be hardly noticable :-)

But the Honda will have to be parked this summer until I've gotten the strenght in my neck back again...

Anyway, I've got a new project that unfortunatly is missing its wheels.

I've got a set of rims but I need to find both a CB750 front hub as well as a CB750 rear hub complete with drum brake plate and sprocket carrier.

Anyone having a front and rear hub laying around that you want to sell?

At last, someone is talking about my specialist subject .......I do hope you make a full and speedy recovery, don't rush it, let nature do it's work.

Hi Dan.......lovely bike.....the tank is fabulous.

Your English is great.....much better than my Swedish.....although I used to work for VBG (based in Vanersborg, Sweden) all the Swedish Guys spoke perfect English, and as most had either worked for SAAB Aerospace or Volvo, they were all bloody excellent Engineers.

Which model of CB750 are the hubs/ wheels for? I'll keep an eye out for any for sale in the UK.

Nurse Julie is quite right, and I know from personal experience.......but don't rush back to work too quickly..........time is a great healer.

Speedy recovery DME

[DME]

Thanks, I'm actually doing quite well by now :-)
I'm back working halftime, 4 hours a day, and that works just fine. I'm a computer tech for the county council, so there's no lifting or other strenuous tasks. I'm being very careful with my posture, trying to balance my head in a neutral position all the time in order to let the muscles in the neck relax as much as possible.

The hubs I'm looking for should be for a K2, but as far as I know any hub from K0 to K6 would do fine. K7 and K8 too, believe it's only the sprocket carrier that differs? And the 17" rim, but as stated earlier I've already got rims and spokes.

Thanks again

Speedy recovery !!!

I bought some spare 750 SOHC front hubs in a deal with someone a few years back. Unfortunately, the 750K0 front hub is different for all other years (up to K7 which different).  The one I got were K1-> K6 ..... I sold one to a member on here for what it 'cost' me 20 GBP If you are interested I still have another one. Really nice condition and bead blasted.

There's a member on 'HondaTwins' forum  from Sweden who is regular on there (Ronny) . His wife has a Vintage Clothes Shop in Malmo i think,  and it was visited by the guys from 'Fast n load' Discovery Programme. He posted a clip of their visit there (They were searching for David Hasslehof?

These two ladies are from Sweden but sure don't sound like they are !

Sent you a PM!

Welcome. Nice bike.

[DME]

Six months have passed since my neck surgery and I've healed nicely. Has been a slow process, but it has gone according to plan. Sadly the bikes hasn't turned a wheel this summer, didn't want to take any chances before the vertebraes were fully healed.

AshimotoK0 kindly sold me a front hub for my new project, so now I'm looking for a complete rear hub with brakeplate and sprocket carrier.

If you've got one laying around that you'd consider parting ways with, don't hesitate to give me a shout :-)
