Just found this on my old PC ... 1970 road Test of CB750 in Motorcycle Mechanics ... also 'Build your own chopper'  ;D  (sure I have linked it before but not in main Dropbox section, probably a post somewhere). Enjoy you K0 /sandcast nuts.

Thats a good CB750 test which I haven't read before, unless I read it 'back in the day'. He doesn't sugar coat the reaction to a high speed bump when cornering, and things that worry me now such as a gearbox whine, the abrupt clutch, and failure to run smoothly on all four easily when starting from cold, came as standard on a new CB750 prepared for the press. I was a bit alarmed when mine needed a pint of oil after 600 miles, but again, they did that from new, apparently. Also my mpg is pretty much bang on with the test results.

It fills me with horror that I thought 'chopperised' bikes with apehangers, bannana seats and  naff 'cooling rings' on the exhausts were ever cool, especialy when done to something as fine as a Mettise framed Triumph. That said in those days I always thought that Sportsters (with the 'peanut' tank) had 'the look', and I've owned one for the past 12 years.

At least they didn't rake or gooseneck the frame, beyond the scope of an MM article I guess. I remember one month they told us how to get an extra 6th gear out of a Yamaha RD250 (I think) simply by removing a stopper pin from the gearbox. A couple of issues later they were telling us for God's sake put it back in urgently, after riders found out the reason for its last minute inclusion - it was possible to change 'up' from 6th to 1st, with disasterous consequences.

Think of the potential legal liability if you did that these days!

In the process of scanning the CB550F2 and CB550K3 Parts Books that Ken (Oddjob) kindly loaned me to copy. Should get them done this week but I am having to scan each page indivually due to the type of binding on the later manuals.

Here are  links to the PROPER Honda  fiches (not CMSNL's efforts) for a bunch of CB750's & GL1000's not on here already:-

If you need to destroy them in order to get a good copy Ash then do that. I'll still have access to them via the dropbox so no real harm done. I've seen scans done of later parts books and due to the page bending needed you get parts of the page slightly out of focus as a result of how it sits on the scanner. The books were starting to come apart anyway so it's not like they were pristine.

Thanks Ken, I may do that then with your blessing but I will re-bind them. As you say some pages are coming out a bit distorted ... Plus it's a breeze to do on auto-feed. A few people (not on here) say why bother when they are on CMSNL's website but they are talking b*ll*cks as CMS's are very much altered to suit the parts that they actual have in stock and lots of info/part numbers are missing.

Good scan Ash, crystal clear.

No worries .. I found that they were stapled so I removed the staples and trimmed a few mm off. Scanning was then a breeze on double-side scan autofeed. I ordered a heavy duty stapler off eBay to re-staple them and lots of other docs so your originals should come back as good as received. Many thanks Ken ..those are pretty rare manuals and I just hate it when people try to sell stuff like that for a Queens (or is it Queenies  ;D ;D) ransom.

Bryan has kindly loaned me a tiny Japanese 500K0 one with rare parts listed ..if you are reading this Bryan ..I am on with it but I think I am going to have to scan pages individually.

I've got some microfiches as well Ash but no idea what they are for as I just bought them on a whim, can you do anything with them if I find them again?

Hmm not really ... I did have a reader once but left it behind when I moved company.
