CB750 / Re: Exhausted working this problem.

If you mean do they cross over, they appear to do the pair on each side. I am a complete beginner at this, with little knowledge on the different models. Learning as I go.

Around the side stand area, right side is tight but doable, left seems impossible. That said I am not 100% I have the down pipes in the right order. I knew it would be a tough build with what I have. The nature of budget mongrel shed build I suppose.

Same as the first, trying to reassemble several boxes of parts into something resembling a motorcycle.

I can see this being a headache one way or another.

I have spent most of my afternoon failing on this one. I  have a jardine 4 into 2 exhaust that was on a k6. I have a k6 engine in an f2 frame. I just cant seem make it fit. Is there that much of a difference? I  assumed as the engine sits straight in it would be workable.

Yeah, DS does a filter kit, and the seal as a single. Sorted. Thanks for the advise.

Thanks, it will be running a fairing, if there are no concerns on leaks then for a few quid I have issue putting it on.

CB750 / Oil filter case base.

It is now pretty clear the PO put a k6 engine in the f2 frame. However, they fitted the finned base plate from the f2 oil filter housing onto the k6. My  inexperienced logic is seeing this as one extra place to add a seal that one day may leak. Are there any practical reasons to leaving it on? The case for originality has very little bearing in this instance.

If you are going to restore original stock then yes, the devil is in the detail. I am pleased mine is a bit af a bitser. As a first attempt and a shed build, I don't feel under pressure and have some flexibility. It keeps wifely of my case budget wise too.

The CB750 K2 UK unit is a lovely bike but, at this price it should be totally correct .

1) Wrong forks
2) wrong brake arm
3) wrong front mudguard
4) Wrong L/H switch gear
5) R/H switch looks wrong but, can't see properly
6) No Sprocket cover
9) Aftermarket clutch lever
10) Most fasteners are wrong
11) And most properly more

Buyer beware !

As I velcro and cable tie the boxes of Frankenstein items together in my shed, I  do worry the final result my see me evicted from this site for ever. 😂

So, what about the colour?

At the time my mate was training to be a sprayer,  he offered to do it as a practice piece after it took a tumble. I had no say on the colour...and it was free.
