Title: CB750F1
Post by: adriangsmith on September 24, 2015, 06:25:25 AM

Hi all,
Thanks for the join to your forum.
I've just bought a 1976 CB750F1 for restoration.
Bought as a non runner with most of the left hand side of the engine taken by previous owner as spares for his other bike.
Bike has been fitted with F2 comstar wheels and front end.
Now begins the hunt for the engine parts to ensure she will fire up and run.
Bike was originally yellow so plan eventually to return it to that colour and probably cafe racer it a little.
Will eventually be on the lookout for side panels along with a few hundred other parts.
Located in Ramsgate , KENT, UK.
Cheers
Adrian

Welcome to the forum Adrian. Looks like an interesting project should be no problem getting engine parts there's plenty about. If you need any help just ask.

Hi and well done, you picked what in my eyes has always been the best looking of the SOHC 750's. Great thing is that all the SOHC 750 left hand engine cases are interchangeable, so should be easy enough to source.

Thanks all for the warm welcomes to the forum.
It would seem on closer inspection that most of the bike here is actually an F2.
F2 front forks and wheels. Double front disks and hydraulic rear brake.
Some of the engine casings are also black rather than silver as the F1 should be.
I'm now rather confused as to if this is an F1 that someone has upgraded at sometime in the past or one of the first F2's.
Not sure when the F2 was released.
There are some F1 parts on there for sure like the headlight bracket.

oh well. Onwards and upwards. still trying to find all the bits for the engine to see if she runs.
Then the Cafe Racer customising can begin.

Cheers

Adrian
