Hi, thought i had better move to a proper page and away from the newbies intro page and start a thread purely for my resto. Its a big task i have taken on especially knowing that there is lots of parts missing and working out whats not there!!
Still lots of fun tinkering in the garage and playing on the net searching for bits. Not 100% sure wether or not to try and go as near to original as possible or because the engine is one year different from the frame go for a cafe/unique look and just make something i like.

The bores are actually ok, nothing a quick hone cant sort out. just need to give the pistons a good clean and a new set of rings. In 2 minds wether or not to take the bottom half apart. There doesn't seem to be any excess movement in the con rods and everything feel smooth. Whats peoples opinions?

An interesting day. Started to take the engine apart to see what it was like inside and as you can see the evidence of being sat for years ( not sure how many). On the plus side everything came apart easily and nothing was seized.

Morning all. I have a question for you all. I have just taken the alternator cover off the engine and the windings and casing were covered in old oil. When the oil flow around this engine does it go into the alternator or is it just because the oil seal is old. I have no history about it other than it came to the uk from the states around 3 years ago and has just been stored dryish after obviously being drained prior to transportation.

Hi everyone. Thanks to Julie Seal for the recommend to the site. I am new to the CB750 K series but i have purchased a K5 frame and its engine is a K6 which have come from the States There are lots of bits missing and i will be constantly on the look out for bits but more importantly it will be great to draw on all your knowledge and experience if you don't mind. Looking forward to seeing some of your rides, either standard or cafe. Not sure which way i want to go yet. Cheers
