CB750 / Re: 750 Weldless Frame Kit
« on: December 13, 2015, 08:09:05 PM »
Thanks for the pics and links. The more I look the more it looks wrong to me, as said Honda wouldn't put bracing around the headstock if it wasn't needed. The spine tube itself isn't exactly big and I don't think mechanical fixings will be as rigid. I would like to see two frames on a test bed and load them up around the headstock to see the difference.

CB750 / 750 Weldless Frame Kit

I have just been looking on the USA site and reading about the 750 weldless frame kit and was wondering if anyone fairly local to me had one fitted that I could possibly look at. I am in Dewsbury, West Yorks.
Cheers Chris.

Soldered the tank this morning and took the bike for a run 50mls it now runs great at any speed throughout the rev range, smooth as silk, well happy. ;D ;D ;D

As posted a few weeks ago I recently acquired a 76 cb750f supersport. I have just fit new coils. caps, plugs, points, condensers, stripped the carbs and ultrasonic cleaned. Rebuilt and run on a fuel bottle, now seems to run sweet just needs a chance to get it on the road to test. So today I thought I would clean out the tank as there was a bit of crap and rust in it. Put a few nuts and bolts in it and gave it a good shake. Drained it and flushed it out with clean fuel. Put it back on the bike and filled with fuel only to find out it now has a pin prick hole in it. So the tank is back off and drained the hole cleaned up and I will solder it up  sometime shortly.
Question   When it is soldered  should I use something like POR15 tank sealer or wait and see if anymore holes develop.

Cheers Chris.

If I have it done both tank and tail piece will be done. I would send them to Dream Machine for doing. They did my CD175 a few years ago and did an excellent job at a competitive price compared to a lot of other painters I talked to.

It is Antares Red. The tank is not too bad with just one tiny ding in it, but the tail piece looks like someone painted it with a stick. I can not make my mind up weather to get it painted or not. When I bought it I said I wasn't going to because its perfectly good enough to just ride and enjoy without throwing a shed load of money at it and turning it into a show pony, but I keep looking at the tail piece. :( .Who knows time will tell.

Hi just got a few weeks ago a 1976 USA CB750F Supersport. Pretty much in original condition it came to these shores in 97. It had a oil leak on the neutral switch, oil leak on the tacho drive, leaking front brake master cylinder, and a bad misfire at 60mph+. All leaks now sorted and misfire down to coils and leads I think. I had a CB750f1 in 1977 first time around that I did over100,000mls on so do know them pretty well. Now revisiting my youth. Also in the garage 1973 CD175 K4, 1973 PC50 [still to restore]. 05 Blackbird. This and its cousin looks like a excellent source of information and entertainment.
Cheers Chris. :)
