Hi all, I'm in the process of changing my CB750 F2 into a scrambler/tracker and so will be changing the rear end by getting rid of as much stuff and weight on the back as possible. Is there anyone out there who knows the MOT rules for how much of the rear tyre is allowed to hanging out the back and how much should be covered?
Also does it have to be a mud guard or can you use the number plate to make up the difference?
Thanks, Steve

When removing the motor remove the bottom bolts first, they are the most difficult to remove and they are easier to get out without weight bearing on them.
Cheers

Cheers Dennis, nice one.

On removing the engine yes, take out most of the bolts, slacken the others, take the oil filter and carbs off, lay the bike on its side and remove the remaining fasteners, lift the frame off the engine, to put it back in reverse the process, it's much easier than trying to lift the engine out of the frame cos it's so bloody heavy!. [/quote] Thanks mark, I took a picture of UKpete off the site so I'm going to do it that way.

Hope you noted which way round the nut came off as if you fit it backwards the wheel dont fit in the forks
Oh yes, no worries there.

Success, couldn't have done it without you help or leave it half done. Thanks for the instruction, it gave me the confidence to go at it a bit harder.
It's been emotional 😎
All that's left is the oil tank and engine to remove, any tips?

What i did with my stubborn one is to tighten the opposite side of spindle in the outside of the lower fork spindle clamp then with a decent spanner undo it, does that make sense
pete
It does thanks pete but forks have been removed and front suspension is at this moment in bits. I'll leave it to soak overnight and try again tomorrow with a bit more heat. Thanks again tip top.

Hi hairygit, no worries my friend I'm trying to undo it, no hole on my axle but a 22mm on the sleeve side and 16mm open ended spanner on the other, its not left handed is it?
Its in the garage with wd40 soaking in.

Hi gents and thanks for such fast reply's, I thought that was what it was but the sleeve is like its welded in. I've tried oil, heat and a hammer but its not budged! Any ideas?

Hi Haynes66 consider the rear ones yours already, not sure how I'm going to do the front yet, but if I don't use the originals you are welcome to them as long as you can collect.

Hi all, I'm in the process of a complete strip down so I can get all the bits that need doing powder coated, herein I've come across a bit of a pig. I've removed the one front disc but how do I get the speedo bit off the axle to remove the other disc?
I know I'm going to kick myself when I find out but for now I'm stumped and feeling a little stupid.
Thanks in advance
steve

Look on my build thread I've just had my rear sets done on f2
Bloody hell that looks fantastic, what were those rearsets off? I'm thinking of using VFR 750 switch controls and have ordered a cbr 600 front brake lever and cylinder, anyone used these or should I try something else?

Ok so I've picked it up and she's a bit of a mess, all brakes are seized the carbs are leaking fuel out where the air comes in (think the float is stuck) but I already understand the attraction. Although the battery electric container is a confusing mess.
I've started the strip down as I'm going to redo the frame as it quite pitted, but I was wondering weather any of you had replaced the rear sets by removing the massive brackets and using aftermarket rear sets. I looked at UK Pete fantastic café racer and will go that way if I cant sus it out.
also the controls have had it so I'm going to update those too, so anyone got any ideas or tips they can share?
Thanks, steve.
