Hi everyone
Have been thinking of buying a 750 automatic. I have found one and just wondered what you think to them. I already have a k2 a k7 and a F2 so thought about something different

I bought one at Christmas and its a 10 ltr one. Have a regular order for carb cleaning and they work very well its a must if you do quite a few items. You can make some spare cash by doing others carbs I have already got my money back and its also paid for a shot blaster

My next door neighbour Grand son came round to see me yesterday with his Scooter (twist and Go) He said he had had trouble with the throttle and took it to a bike repairer and what a scary story he told me. He took it in to have a new throttle cable fitted and they charged him £200 for the job. This lad is 17 and just started work so £200 was quite an amount to find. Well he collected his bike and on his way home he came up to a T junction and it would not shut down so he panicked and dropped the bike. Lucky he was not hurt. He took the bike back and asked them to get it sorted and once again he collected it. Once again the throttle stuck wide open and again her came off. He asked me to have a look at it and what I found was disturbing. The cable was not fitted correctly and was jamming the butterfly. It took me 10 mins to correct the fault and get it running correctly. This is why I have decided to set up a motor cycle workshop for young riders. It makes me so angry that people still rip off these lads and put there lives in danger. Iam now 57 years old and have been lucky with bike riding. The roads are bad enough without bad workmanship.

Hi every one
Well I think I have all the parts I need to rebuild the engine I will be using for teaching others how to strip and re assy an engine in my new venture. Some of you may know what I am about to do that is to teach some younger bikers around my area how to maintain there bikes. This I will be doing FOC and I feel its time I gave something back to others. Now I have a question. Which way round do the connecting rods go in the engine I cannot find it in the workshop manual. Do they go with the rod weight forward or the journal size forward. a BIG thanks to Ash for sending me the only part I was missing.

I always use the thin stainless steel hose clips and have never had a problem they look quite good fitted also.

Bloody hell that's one hell of a mess. Had a friend try to drill out a broken spark plug out of a 400/4 head and what a mess he made. But did restore the head to good again. Moral of the story if you cannot do it leave it alone

Have just been looking through my 400/4 parts and found 2 original horns in working order one still has the original wire bracket for the cables on it. Was thinking of putting them on ebay but wondered it they were a rare item these days. Also have 2 original did rims and good kick start. also have a genuine rear sprocket with the chain disc on it in A1 order.

Hi all
I have found a alternator cover in some old cb750 parts that I have not seen before. This cover has fins on it and in the middle were the Honda name usually sits it has SOHC inside it says made in japan. It looks like a custom made part. Any ideas?
