CB750 / Seat cover....which one?
« on: January 26, 2020, 09:18:03 AM »
Bought a seat cover from Bob the seat to go on my American spec 750F. Getting a friend of a friend to fit it but getting it out of box find it’s different to pattern on what I think is the original.So which is the right pattern? And does it realy matter which one  my lovely wife says 🙀 Another question is can the Honda Olga be painted on back if so what paint to use?

CB750 / Fuel tank
« on: March 31, 2019, 01:17:18 PM »
I intend replacing the the fuel tank on my 1975 750 F as the one on it has been welded and looks sh**e,one I intend using has a 16x1.5 mm male thread on as per photo,is this correct? I will stick a new tap on but Silvers want £65 for an F model tap,one off a Superdream will fit at £9.95.Whats special apart from the big price difference?

CB750 / First impressions
« on: March 23, 2019, 11:51:11 AM »
Took my 750F out for a spin after fitting the new Delkevic 4-1,not as noisy as I anticipated so good news,runs ok with just few pops/bangs on over run.Carbs leak through overflow could do with clean/balance,Tyres need replacing rear brake better than I expected front brake crap as I expected all electrics work ok,24,000 miles on speedo but no idea if it’s accurite engine fasteners look original,Seat needs recovering/new trim,fuel tank needs repaint,few hours tidying up and I’ll have a nice bike for the summer.Still want a K7 so not sure if I’ll hang on to it for long

CB750 / How much?
« on: March 11, 2019, 12:30:29 PM »
Hoping for some advice regarding what to pay for a decent loooking rideable CB750K7?
Ones I’ve seen and sold have sold for less than the more desirable K models,am I right in thinking this is so? I know of one coming up for sale with a brand new 4into4 exhaust system ( Thought they were unobtainabl? ) Don’t know the asking price yet.
