CB750 / Tank Rust Removal
« on: May 05, 2020, 11:26:49 AM »
So … as per my project thread, I now need to tackle my tank. After viewing other topics and seeking advice in the relevant social media groups, I have been warned of sealing the tank and using acids which may be too aggressive and cause damage to the parent metal.

I have attached pics of the inside of my tank. This is the first bike I've done so I have no idea how bad mine is by comparison.

Any tips on how to tackle this would be gratefully received!

Thanks.

CB750 / Carb Rebuild Kits - 1977 F2
« on: May 02, 2020, 10:31:35 AM »
Hi all,

After some words of encouragement on one of my previous posts, I am looking to embark on a carb rebuild for my bike which has been stood for 20 years myself. I figure I've got plenty of time at the moment. If I work slowly and methodically, hopefully they'll go back together again  :-\

I've found a couple of options for the rebuild kits … one is from eBay though which always make me worry about the quality. The other is from the US. Has anyone had any experience with either of these?

Also, I don't have an ultrasonic parts cleaner … will it be ok for me to clean each component thoroughly by hand instead? I appreciate this may take much longer though.

Thanks.

Project Board / 1977 CB750 F2 Super Sport Rebuild
« on: April 30, 2020, 11:55:23 AM »
Hi all.

So, as per my intro post, 4 years ago I inherited a 1977 CB750 F2 Super Sport from my late father in law.

He had owned the bike since 1995, but it was garaged in 1999 when he developed health issues. That is where it stood until I moved it to my garage last year. The bike has covered just under 22,000 miles and it looks like most of the parts on the bike are original. There are however signs that the bike has been dropped at some point. There is a small dent in the front of the tank and the left side cover is black, not Candy Presto Red like the rest of the bike. I guess this all part of the bike's history, but I may opt to completely return the bike to original eventually.

I've attached a couple of pictures of the 'starting point'. I'll try and post updates here as progress is made!

My plan is to first get the engine running. This will have its own challenges with bike having been stood for over 20 years! Then I will get the running gear sorted, and finally bring the bodywork and everything else up to standard.

Although I am not new to bike, I am new to SOHC's. So the help here will be greatly appreciated!

New Member Introductions / Hi from Warwickshire!

Hello!

My name is Chris and I am from Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

I have had a few bikes in the past few years including Honda Hornet 600, CB1000R and a Yamaha R6 race bike. 4 years ago I inherited a 1977 CB750 Super Sport F2 from my late father-in-law and over the past few weeks I have finally started the project to get it back on the road after being stood in his garage for over 20 years! I didn't really know much about these bikes until he passed, but over the last few years I have done plenty of research and I've really fallen in love with the dusty, rusty bike which is now in my garage.

I'm planning to get it back on the road using as many original parts as possible (it is a complete bike, but some bits will need replacing) and keep the look as original as possible so my wife and I can enjoy the bike the way my father in law did. I'll start a separate project thread, but I've attached a couple of pics.

Thanks, and stay safe!
