Hi Guys
I am having a clear out of my mancave and have come across the timber engine stand I made to rebuild my F2 engine in. It worked really well, it just sits on the bench and the lower casing will fit in in with a couple of rods and off you go, Free to a good home and I will post it for the cost of postage. Give me a ring if interested. 07899757421.

Hi Guys
I know this is an old topic, but has anyone got any seat trim (Chrome and coloured) to fit an F2 chucked in the corner of the shed and wants some Xmas cash??? or any new info as to where to get some would be great.
Happy Xmas!!

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the only mudguard it came with was the what I call the generic type. It works and looks okay, but its not the same as a real one. I will keep looking.

Hi
I have decided to really finish off my F2 supersport and make it as close as possible to concourse, but I don't know where to get a front mudguard. I am sure I read somewhere on here in the past that someone is manufacturing new ones. Is that right?? If any one out there has a front guard for a 78 F2 in good condition then I would be interested in buying it.
Hope you guys can help

Sorry Petar, it sold for only a small margin over my starting price. Good luck with finding another one. Simon

Hi Petar
Blimey that all sounds complicated!!
I assume you are living in Serbia and not just using your account in the UK, so I will enquire the cost of a courier to Serbia.
Thanks for your interest

Hi
Just for future reference for anyone, I tracked down the problem to the points. I fitted two new sets on rebuild so I didn't go there to start with, however on the set that sparks 2 and 3, as the engine got hot, the small shaft on the points expands and this was stopping the points from opening and closing. A quick ream through and a touch of grease has sorted it.
I hope this may be useful. Did I fit another coil and new condensers before I found this.....of course not!!!!
Simon
PS Anyone want a good F2 coil?.......

Hi Petar
The mudguard is now on ebay as I had no response (until you of course) from here.
I have had a few enquiries already so its only fair that i let it run on ebay.
Cheers.

Hi
I bought a front mudguard for my F2 but it is the wrong one, so I am selling it on. I don't know what bike its from, but I was told it was from a 78 750. I did get it from the states so its maybe a US spec.
I would like £70 (plus Postage) just to cover my costs.
If there is no interest here it will go on Ebay. I have some more pictures if required.

Hi Guys
I took my rebuilt CB750F2 out for a ride yesterday and ended up limping home (already done 200 miles trouble free).
when I finally got back no 2 and 3 exhaust pipes were cool so obviously not firing on 2 and 3. Went to check it this morning and have a nice spark on 2 and 3 so I assume when its get hot 2 and 3 cut out. what do you think coil breaking down or condenser. I'm sure its an electrickery issue, but any comments would be very useful.
On another note I just imported a mudguard from the states but the sods at customs charged me VAT and handling on the cost of the item plus the cost of carriage. This made a $25 dollar item bloody expensive.

Thanks archmill. My plan is ,is to get the frame sorted and then take it to another tester, but it would be good if yours are ok just in case!
Th headstock is slightly bent I think due to a front end minor shunt. Lesson to learn for newbie builders, get the wheels in and check the alignment before you continue!!!!!
