CB750 / Rebuilding carbs, need some advice!
« on: March 04, 2019, 10:06:12 PM »
First job I want to get sorted is the carbs. This is the set that came with the bike, from what I can see right off the bat there are a few missing bits, a couple of nuts, throttle return spring and the bottom connector for the throttle return spring, I cannot seem to find a name for the damn thing or where to buy one??



Apart from being filthy the carbs look good, took the bottoms off and looks clean inside, I'm still debating a full rebuild. I guess it will come down to if i used a bread box or velocity stacks and therefore might need to use different jets.*

CB750 / Full gaskert set for a k5
« on: November 14, 2018, 02:12:31 PM »
Trying to stay clear of cheap shoddy gaskets. For both my Harleys I use and love James' gaskets, unfortunately they don't seem to do anything for a CB750.

Could someone recommend a good brand to use?

CB750 / Rear disc brake....

Are there any uk companies that do a conversion kit? I know CycleX in the states does one and I know a supersport back setup will fit, but looking to maintain spokes!

CB750 / Threadlock?!
« on: July 02, 2017, 01:10:39 PM »
Trying to get stocked up on everything I need for my build as I can't actually build it yet!

A bit overwhelmed with all the different types of threadlock on the market, even loctite has seemingly 50 different versions!

What do people use?
Do I need different types or is there one for everything?

Misc / Open / V5 Advice!
« on: May 31, 2017, 11:42:44 PM »
So the CB750 chopper I bought came with a V5 with the old frame number and a different engine number. Therefore is essentially wrong, it's for a 1977 CB750 when mine is a '75.

Whilst I'm never going to have the right frame number it would be nice to get the correct engine number and year. What's the best way to get this sorted?? Can I get a new V5 just based on the engine number and then sell the old V5 with the old frame (which I have)?

« on: May 22, 2017, 09:36:19 PM »
So here we have what will be my first bike build project and I warn you know I will be learning along the way! It's also worth saying that my wife and I are in the middle of moving from Brighton to Bedford to be closer to family, this will take a while!






That's the bike as it currently sits, I also have 3 boxes of bits which have everything else in.

Things I'd like to do to the bike:
Engine refurb
Paint engine in VHT wrinkle paint
Powder coat frame
King and queen Seat
Bigger sissy bar
Forward controls
Coffin/Peanut tank
Dual Carbs
Springer or Girder front end

Any help or advice about the above list would be greatly appreciated!

CB750 / CB750 dual carbs
« on: May 20, 2017, 10:14:48 PM »
So I've started making a list of all the things I would like for my CB750 chopper build, high on the list is I the potential to run dual carbs. I was curious if anyone here had done it and also if any UK companies sell a full kit? I know Cyclexchange do a kit http://www.cyclexchange.net/Honda%20Twin%20Carb%20Page.htm.

CB750 / Help with engine number!
« on: May 20, 2017, 03:12:14 PM »
Hi guys,

Could someone with more knowledge than me just confirm what year engine this number is CB750E-2425584? 1975?

Just looking for conformation really as I keep seeing a few different numbers and the V5 is saying something different to what I think it is :)

Misc / Open / Silver numberplate advice
« on: May 17, 2017, 03:08:16 PM »
I was under the impression a bike had to be registered before Jan 1st 1977 to be able to use a silver and black numberplate, but I've seen bikes on here and other forums which are way younger than 1977 rocking one, are they just chancing it?

im asking due to the bike I just bought being registered in June 1977 and I really want one!!
