Thanks guys I know its not ideal, but I can line bore the bearings, if I can get complete carriers I will, but I have a lead on a set of caps.... Why is it the Mrs always seems to find out when I've made a silly mistake like this, and cost myself money....

Was cleaning up the head components for my second build, and realised I've lost the cam bearing caps, I remember numbering them and stringing them together, but I'm pretty sure they ended up in a box I let the tatters take!!!!
My loss, anyone got a set they'll sell me?
Cheers.

Cheers.

Has anyone used the Honda dating service, and got unexpected results? I sent them my Frame number CB750 - 22124xx and they've come back with a Dec 6 1977 manufacture date!! I could believe Dec 6 1972, I'm wondering if its a 7 for 2 typo.. has anyone else received unexpected results like this?
the other thing is they've quoted back a frame number CB750F 22124xx
I'll write back after the easter hols, with a photograph of the frame number, hoping its a simple error....

It is possible, but, the running light indicators have twin filaments, so easy to omit the running lights by using UK single filament indicators.
Of more concern would be if the headlight it permanently on, some significant differences exist then.

I'm gathering parts to build a CR750 rep, I have the main components, and am thinking about the frame mods, but, I would like to register it on an age related plate, I Have:
A 1973 frame confirmed on NOVA, so its legal and duties paid.
Requested a dating certificate from Honda UK.
When the bike is complete and MOT'd is this enough to get it registered, has anyone experience of doing this? as reading various web sites, some need photographs and frame and engine numbers to date, some say DVLA will examine, some say the 3 papers above are enough...
So really looking for a definative answer for someone who has done it, and doesn't have an interest in taking a fee from me and over complicating things..
Can anyone help.
Cheers.
Pete.

Thanks Mate, I have sent you a PM.
The top yokes are the same part number so the fork/stem spacing must be the same.
Cheers.

Yes they'll be different part numbers the K7 doesn't have the brake splitter mounting, but incorporates headlight fittings I think.
Cheers.

Cheers Ash, they are the same year, so probably a good chance they are the same dimensions.
If its for sale let me know how much post etc....
Thanks.

I noticed my bottom yoke is cracked, its not the sort of thing I want to weld up.
I have a CB550 yoke, but, the spacing is different between the stem and fork legs compared to the 750.
Are all 750 lower yokes the same spacing? I'm not worried about the brake hose splitter fittings as long at the triangular size and shape is common.
Cheers.
Pete.

Thanks guys that is interesting, I'll look into the CB550 discs.
I know GS550 Suzuki discs are 276mm, and fit the GT hub, which takes the same bearings and crush tube as the CB750F1, hence my meanderings into Suzuki territory..

I'm working on the twin disc, twin piston caliper set up for my F2.
The Honda spoke hub and discs is no good as the discs are too big, I think, a Suzuki GT250/380 front hub and discs would work with a little machining.
But, I don't have one I am just going on memory.
Does anyone have an old GT250, 380, 550 etc. hub kicking about and for sale??
