Honda-SOHC

Apparently you can take a frame, engine and wheels for an MOT if you like. Some say you need a brake light but I dont think thats true. You dont need any lights of any description. Anything fitted has to work as already stated but its very loose after that. You would only get a daytime MOT of course.

Not actually true, you must have a working method of warning i.e. horn, and if registered after 1/4/86 you must have working indicators. As said, everything else must work if fitted. More info on chronolgy here http://thames-valley-region.mag-uk.org/Pages/legisla_chronology_of_motorcycles.htm

if they are all standard parts im going to have to pass i'm afraid as im turning it into a cafe racer. so bar end mirrors, led indicators etc is what im going for which was also one of the main reason for the cone filters as it would beef up the noise and give me a bit of a boost (however small it may be) in power.

If you're cafe racing it I've just ordered a set of these http://sohc750.net/shopping/steel-dragon-performance/original-velocity-stacks/ for $88 for four delivered and including gauze and set screws. That's actually around

You lucky, lucky, lucky............... stunning looking bike which has inspired me to get back out to the garage!

Anyone bought any of Phil Denton's stuff?

I was thinking about replacing all of my frame bolts with his stainless stuff right up to the point where I looked at the prices . . .

I wasn't sure just how expensive he was until I looked at his velocity stacks

Then I found these and have just ordered a set of the 'originals' for $88 including gauze, set screws and shipping! http://sohc750.net/shopping/steel-dragon-performance/

I'll report back on the quality when I get them.

OMG, am I glad I found this site, I was beginning to think I was the only SOHC owner left in the UK!

I'm Paul, I've been riding bikes for more years than I care to remember, I only passed my car test when I was 21 because the then girlfriend refused to ride pillion!

Latest project is a 1977 CB750 F2 with a genuine 10,700 miles on the clock, a true barn find I got off E-bay in November last year. Unfortunately my garage is huge and drafty and a b*gger to heat so I didn't do much over the Winter (we had 2 1/2ft of snow for most of December and a big part of January!) but now things are warming up I'm getting stuck in.

For anyone who's interested this is what I've got to work with:








My humourist son has already nicknamed it 'Project Rising Sun' and you can see I've got some work to do, but I'll post back as it moves along. :-)
