So thanks to you lot the exhausts are now installed and went in quite easily in the end. But looking at the bike now it appears that the LHS exhausts have to be removed to get the rear wheel off now? That doesn't seem very "Honda" (I've had 8 over the years) so was just checking I'm not making another stupid mistake similar to when I was trying to fit the exhausts a couple of days ago? (I don't need to remove the rear wheel just now - but just checking for the future). Cheers. Phil

No, exhausts don't need to be removed, the bike should have 'open ended' chain adjuster blocks fitted, so you just pull the wheel out from the back.
Edit, just looked at your pic and you have the correct adjusters fitted, so just undo the adjuster bolts, the adjuster will drop down, remove the blocks and pull the wheel out backwards.
Another Edit 😁😁😁You won't be able to get a socket in to undo the spindle bolt nut, just use a spanner.

Wow! Thanks again! I put the rear wheel on about 10 years ago (this was a forgotten project until a few months ago) and completely forgot about the open ended swinging arm.
Can see I'm rapidly turning into the dunce of the forum! But this is my first CB750 sohc and I do learn fast (I like to think). So hopefully not too many more daft questions. I should be able to see if she starts very soon (just waiting for an in line fuel filter from DSS as I'm not sure there won't be any tiny bits in the tank even after a thorough rinse out - and also not sure I trust the mesh bag filter on the fuel tap).
Thanks again. Phil

No, not a dunce at all - I scratched my head too for a while.....anyway there's no such thing as a daft question, just daft answers. ;)
Have a look at Aladdin's Cave link at the top of the page shed loads of useful stuff in there on the CB750 to download including Workshop Manuals.

Also, inline fuel filters often cause more issues than they solve, there are some that use them, but most of us don't.

Thanks. I rinsed the tank out with petrol, checked the mesh strainer on the tap (all in perfect condition) and installed an in line filter just after the fuel tap (filter recommended by DSS). She started first time (after 10 years of being stripped down to every last nut and bolt) and amazingly the carbs seem to be perfectly balanced with a beautiful engine sound and steady tickover. I think I'll leave the in line filter in for a bit just to make sure any rouge bits get caught - and will take it out after a 1000 miles or so. By the way, what issues can they cause? Cheers. Phil
