CB750 / Flake Sunrise Orange - Surely the best???

« on: September 07, 2015, 11:36:35 PM »

Cleaning the tank on my K4 this evening and thought I'd photograph it whilst indoors / under good light to show what a bloody lovely colour this really is. Can't beat it in my opinion....

Anyone have a good recommended source for replacement VIN plates - preferable someone who will stamp the VIN number and mfg date for me as authentically as possible?

Duh - also can an admin move this to the 750 section pls... (Done)

Misc / Open / 2015 Yamaha XJR 1300 - have Yam finally nailed it?

« on: October 15, 2014, 03:27:24 PM »

Just seen the 2015 XJR - have to say I think Yamaha have nailed it with this bike. Absolutely love it (and I'm not exactly a Yamaha fan...).

What do you guys think?

CB750 / CB750 K0 Diecast Carb Restoration

« on: October 14, 2014, 01:46:22 PM »

Just starting to strip / refurbish a set of CB750 K0 carbs so thought I'd start documenting it here for whomever might be vaguely interested...

Firstly, a MASSIVE thanks to Bitsa (Ralph) for sourcing these for me - a true gent, thanks again Bitsa.

Have started the strip-down last night in prep for cleaning in my ultrasonic bath. Overall the set is in lovely original condition - you can even see a hint of rainbow / mother of pearl type finish on the original body castings - a nice sign of an original unrestored set.

Unfortunately the main alloy carb plate was fractured in transport - nothing to do with the way they were packaged, probably more down to Parcelforce monkeys but ho-hum. I'll either source a good used part or use on of these for the rebuild of this particular set: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181312295606?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Some photos of the set and strip down:
