Hi

Anyone ever converted their K5 SOHC rear brake into a disc , mine has a F2 front end with front drilled discs and looks great !!
I have been lucky enough to get hold of a full rear end including rear wheel with rear disc and calliper etc and swing arm . When I offer the swing arm up the alloy bracket looks like it might catch the rear foot peg hangers and the tube the rear Brake pin goes through . Other than that it looks like it might fit although I'm missing a rear brake master and reservoir if any out there has a spare ?
It seems that I might have to chop those pieces off but don't want to wreck the frame if it's not going to fit .
I can add photos if any one has any ideas

Thanks

Hi been checking my bike out today as I'm off on a Bike Safe class on Saturday so don't want it to show me up !
I've seen an oil leak coming from the casing of the generator ,it seems that the the bike has been on its side at one stage and scraped the generator cover making it very thin, it seems that the case has given up  and started to leak from a small crack ,I've repaired it or now with chemical metal type stuff which I've used before and is brill .
I am looking at chroming this and other casing parts in the winter , looking for an undamaged generator cover if any one has a spare one they can sell me ,I can assure you it will be going to a very good and loving home

Thanks again

Hi
I've fitted a new crank seal behind the points plate o my cb750 SOHC when I rebuilt my bike a short while ago . From what I remember it was a right pain to fit ( it's the original from dave Silver) the edges where serrated and it didn't go in that well , anyone had the same problem ? Is there another seal available somewhere else ?
Thanks again
Look forward to hearing your comments

Any one out there got a side badge for a CB750 its the orange coloured  triangle one I need . seems that one side has one and the last owner has filler in the other .. they are soooooo expensive to buy from dave silvers

thanks

Hi

I've got my 750K started now and rode it yesterday !!  only thing that's a problem is the clutch no matter how I adjust the cable or plunger in the casing the clutch doesn't seem to disengage fully,all I seem to do when adjusting the cable etc is move the bite point , when you pull the clutch it feels ok but when you select 1st it clunks forwards and starts to move the bike,then of course changing up or down when riding gets tricky, and of course when you stop you cant get it back into neutral.
When I bought the bike from a A*se on ebay I stripped the clutch only to find it was missing (the plates basket and everything) I bought another on Ebay.

When I came to fit it I had to take out the black splined washer as it pushed the whole clutch assembly too close too the casing and the engine wouldn't turn over. Once the washer was removed it was fine and there was a clearance.
Is there a way the plates fit a direction of rotation etc as I cant remember looking for that do they have to sling oil off to work ?

I also remember that between the clutch plates where thin metal plates and one thinker metal plate all I did was put it where it was in the clutch when I got it in the box from the seller ,I couldn't find a picture of a clutch with this extra thick plate although without it Im sue the plates would be too slack in the cage.
should I try and slip the clutch when riding to free it up or has anyone any ideas


Thanks again

Hi

Well started my bike for the first time after about 2 months, Ive stripped the engine replaced all seals and gaskets etc, replaced inlet valves also after finding they were bent !!
I've looked on this forum and was paranoid about all sorts of stuff so after about 5 minutes of the engine running I removed the tappet adjust covers and looked inside,seems 1+2 cylinder has oil around the base of the valve springs,took 3+4 off and they are totally dry. May be me but I thought that because that the bike was on its side stand the oil might have gone to one side
But to be honest think that I may be fooling myself !!!!
I remember when fitting the cam carrier there was two oil ways coming from the centre head bolt which had o rings around them and another two oil ways in the head that didn't have holes in them but strangely still had O rings is that normal ?
Think I will have to take the engine out again (third time !!!!!!!!!!!!) and have a look at the oil ways to the cam shaft, anyone have any ideas/photos about what I should be looking for.

Although its dry on one side I do feel lucky that I haven't ridden it and snapped the camshaft and made even more work/cost for me..

would really love to hear your comments, I've got tomorrow off so will be stripping it again then if needed !!

Thanks

Amos
