Misc / Open / What do you call Original

« on: May 30, 2010, 06:04:49 PM »

Hi Thought this mite get the site buzzing a bit.
As i have just started a rebuild of my bike, at what point did it stop being original.
I will repaint the frame, and engine, replace brake pipes with Honda Ones and i will replace any bolts / nuts that are not orig spec with ones got from a Honda dealer.
To me this means i have now not got a original bike, i will have a refurbished bike.
Why aim i asking this i have seen loads of adverts for bikes over the years saying total original spec, then you read they have powder coated the frame and all other things black, motad ex, and the like.
To me this is not Original, what do you think or is it to heavy to think about, Or aim i just a grumpy old Man now.

CB750 / My F2 Rebuild

« on: May 23, 2010, 08:32:51 PM »

Hi All this is what i have been doing over the last few weeks. My plan was this year just to sort out the engine i.e. do the valves and cam-chain and re paint and fit new tyres as this is all i thought i need to do when i put the bike in the shed a while back, so it took a few dry w/e to sort the shed out as i could not get to the bike or have any room to work on it god did i collect some junk.

This done i then got the bike out in to the daylight for the first time in a few years.

I then spent the next few days slowly taken it apart, not too much trouble no broken studs or bolts of my making found a few that others had done, the exhaust clamp had one bolt snapped off and the sump plate had been changed as it was not black so a replacement one and they had snapped of one bolt head thankfully there is a lot of the bolt left so hopefully should get it out with out to much trouble (here
