CB750 / Oil feed pipes
« on: June 24, 2018, 12:16:24 PM »
Hi, is it common for these to fail..? I have a 74 CB750 from the USA almost ready to fire up but there is a slow oil leak which appears to be coming from the oil feed line... the upper joint seems dry but the pipe is soaked in oil. Some of the rubbers on the bike have been hardened and perished and i wonder if the oil lines have gone the same way.

Misc / Open / The 2018 2-stroke Rally - Squires Cafe
« on: March 09, 2018, 08:37:39 PM »
I realise this is probbaly not of great interest to many SOHC enthusiasts... but I know some of you are interested in 2 stroke machines. This rally has been going on for quite a few years and has become very popular. Traditionally held in the 1st weekend of Sept, it has been moved back a week for the last few years to avoid clashing with the massively popular classic Manx GP. We get hundreds of visitors and always have about 100 riders on the Saturday ride-out, quite a spine tingling event. The venue is superb as many of you will already know. Please feel free to copy and share the flyer if you wish.... btw, there are no strict rules, if you turn up on a classic 4t you will be welcome to tag on to the rideout and join in the fun....

Project Board / CB750K4 New project
« on: August 30, 2017, 10:01:55 PM »
So here she is, my new winter project complete with strange trumpet style exhausts which sound quite good but will be getting replaced, big wide USA style bars, engine bars in decent nick may keep them, pattern seat looks brand new with metal base. In remarkable condition for her age 44! One or two bits missing / non std but not too much. Wont be doing a nut & bolt resto, just a clean up and repair, i like a bit of original patina and she will be a tidy rider like my other bikes, not a show winner.  Gonna keep me busy for a while i think.... Overall I'm quite happy 😊




Dodgy non standar rear shocks will be getting replaced

Rear mudguard and light assembly almost perfect

Couple of dents in front mudguard which i may be able to smooth out, chrome is sound

One or two marks in the paint...may go for a respray and change of colour ?





Hardly any wear on the front disk, no ridges....





Hornets nest under the rear light assembly,,, fortunately the occupants were long gone.

Where's My Old Bike? / Honda CB550 four K AWY 834S
« on: August 29, 2017, 10:28:05 PM »
Owned by me between about 1980 and 1987, sold to a lad who had just written off an LC350 and a reliant robin,,,, bought for him by his Dad, i wished him luck as they took it away.... These old fours were shit cheap in those days, i had fitted comstar wheels, twin disks, marshall 4 into1, marzochi adjustable shocks, it had a stove enammeled frame and looked pretty good... Sold for £350 if i remember correctly..... I'll dig out an old photo if i can... i reckon she will be dead by now 😔

Other Bikes / My other bikes

This is my RD250F, restored by me, not a show winner but a regular rider.

Honda C90ZZ original and unrestored, no rust on the frame.... great fun, shown here at the famous Squires Cafe a couple of years ago.

NSR250SP MC21, not restored but full engine rebuild, done a couple of track days and plenty of rideouts, not a show winner or museum piece but great fun.

ZZR1100, workhorse and touring bike, trips to France and the IOM..

New Member Introductions / Newbie from Yorkshire
« on: August 29, 2017, 06:22:51 PM »
Hi all, new member signing in.  I've always wanted a CB750 and now I have a new beast in the garage to fettle and ride. Used to have a 550K4 back in the 80's but that was the only SOHC I ever had. Always preferred the looks of the 750 motor though, and the big round tank and sidepanels..... 8).

I'll be needing a few replacement parts so will be looking for advice on where to look... not too fussed about originality although the bike is pretty standard with just a few wrong parts as far as I can see.... a giuliari seat would be nice! and maybe a 4 into 1 exhaust...

Cheers Rob
