CB750 / Re:Chain recommendations please?

Can't say that I've ever heard of a duplex chain setup on one of these sohc Hondas.

Put the bike up on the centre stand and weigh down the back so that the front wheel is off the ground.
Grab the wheel and turn it from side to side to feel any \"notch\" or roughness.
Push/pull forward/back to check for looseness.

Easy

I agree. Get a set of taper roller bearings from David Silver.  They're a doddle to fit.

Do you want to do it yourself?
If so there are some excellent places to buy parts right here in the UK. The best is probably www.davidsilverspares.co.uk but there are others (and one or two in Holland/Germany.  You can get help and advice from here or from www.sohc4.net

If you are looking for a restoration shop to do the job for you, check out Classic & Motorcycle Mechanics.

I'm assuming from your email address that you are in the UK??

CB750 / Re:SOHC in a DOHC frame
« on: November 17, 2005, 05:37:37 PM »
The sohc originally ran on points ignition.

Some guys use the 750/900 coils on their sohc as they are more waterproof and tend to keep running in the wet!

As for the frame - you can make anything fit anything as long as you're prepared to put the work in.

If you've not already visited http://www.hondachopper.com/ , take a look there.

Or more likely that the PO has painted the barrels and head black - I did on my old 500/4.

I've never bothered either.  Same with the Honda Owners Club.  Just never got round to it...

They were far to sensible to have a colour.

Maybe puke beige?

As my college lecturer says (you did know I'm studying accounting didn't you), exam technique can be summed up in one phrase = RTFQ

In this case: Read The Full Question (so he says)

Jim, you deserve no karma at all for painting that Jag in those disgusting colours...

BRG is the way to go.

Works great on Firefox now.

Well done.

The less I have to use IE the better as far as I'm concerned.

Is it me or does this not work?

eg: trying \"Preview\" while posting this does nothing (that I can see)
