CB750 / Re: F1 rear wheel alignment
« on: June 12, 2021, 08:06:44 PM »
I thought I would give an update on my rear wheel alignment issue. A big whack with a bigger hammer thankfully solved the problem just as you chaps thought. I must be getting limp wristed in my old age.

Does anyone happen to have a rear brake pads retaining spring and pad pins for a 1977 CB750 F1  or could suggest if one off another bike may fit please.

Thanks for the input, I will try and knock the bearing a little harder to see if solves the problem.

I won't try to bodge it, sheer desperation set in for a moment.

I can't get back on it until next week but will let you know if I can resolve the problem.

I've check the old bearings and they were seated so I replaced with new and made sure they were seated correctly but still the same problem.

I'm almost tempted to take a couple of mm of the top hat spacer but that would be a last resort!

Hi I'm in the process of renovating my 1977 CB750 F1, after having wheels rebuilt I tried to fit the rear wheel although it slots into the swing arm and I can get the axle bolt in ok the disc is just rubbing the inner side of the caliper and the wheel is out of alignment favouring the N/S . I have checked all spacers are seated correctly and also replaced the wheel bearings just in case the previous owner ( a bit of a bodger) had fitted the wrong bearings but I couldn't see anything wrong.

Has anyone else come across this problem as I'm completely baffled I just can't work out what is wrong.

Hello, just fetched my wheels back from Full Circle Wheel Building after new rims from David Silvers and rebuilt with stainless spokes  also supplied by Full Circle, A great job.

Now I have my very nice wheels would anyone be able to recommend which tyres would be most suitable to look as original as possible
and give good dry weather grip.

The last time I purchase a rear tyre for this bike was 43 years ago and could only afford a used Continental which I bought from Tony Rutter. I don't mind buying new ones now!!

Hi I need to have my F1 1977 clocks refurbed. I have had a quote from Faces say they cannot replace the bodies or chrome backs. Does anyone know where I can get these done. I know I can get cheap replacements but mine have the light green dial cards and as I was looking at these 42 years ago I would like to keep them. On another note can anyone recommend a good replacement full exhaust system as I cannot get an original system.
