 Not sure if this shows enough but you may be correct about the rails but not the rake I was mistaking the rails for the ones shown in the pic Chris

CB750 / Spark plug problems
« on: May 20, 2017, 01:30:46 PM »
Hi again everyone the problems have started as some of you may have noticed by my previous posts I have bought a 1971 CB750 K1 chopper and have been out in the garage tinkering getting it ready or so I thought to run anyway changed oil and filter, fitted battery, first problem the bike is a chopper and has no dash panel lights so I do not know if I have any ignition or not and it did not turn over, but the worst is to come I then decided to renew the spark plugs and number 2 just spins round and round so it looks like the head is going to have to come off, if anyone knows another way round the spark plug problem please advise many thanks Chris

If it clearly gives the year you should be OK BUT DVLA keep it so I sent a hi res copy and they didn't notice, although this may not be legal and i cannot condone that of course.

I gave you a number before as there are a few quirks regarding insurance etc you should know about
Hi again Bryan after our conversation last about insurance last night I phoned my company this morning (Hagerty) and enquired about the 4 week policy on frame number ID and they said they are not like other companies and it can stay like that as long as I require Chris

CB750 / Push or pull throttle cable
« on: May 18, 2017, 01:52:01 PM »
Hi again everyone like I said the problems are starting the throttle appears to be the push and pull type but it only has one cable which has a very small bit of movement all the way to the carbs the cable is connected to the front of the throttle and I would imagine it is the pull cable ? would only having the one cable cause the throttle to appear locked? the cable that is connected goes to the back of the carbs and the other connects further forward so which one should I order is mine push or pull thanks Chris

Hi I thought I was having an issue with Summerbud because of the frame number appearing to incomplete it just had the number not CB750 prefix and nobody wanted to give me a dating certificate for it because of this so I raised the issue with Nick at Summerbud who said he would look into it for anyway he rung me today to say he has found the american title am I correct in thinking this does away with the need of a dating certificate thanks Chris
