Thanks mark. Is that not possible about the seats or removing the head with the engine in?

CB750 / Removing head with engine in.
« on: February 18, 2017, 02:03:12 PM »
So just noticed that number one cylinder is blowing air back through the carb. I've slackened of the tappets and although not as bad it's still there. Bad times.
I don't want to take the engine out so what are the thoughts of people on here about doing it with the engine in place.
Is it possible that the seats are original from the days of leaded?
Please help I'm a bit down after how close I was to finishing.
Thanks. Steve.

Hi Julie, the scientific answer is that the retained heat helps the gases flow better and helps keeps the optimal operating temperature more stable. The real answer is that the previous owner had sent the old one scraping along some Tarmac and I didn't want to shell out for a new exhaust. I'm already about a grand over on the spend!!

Well a late one tonight. I've wrapped the exhausts that took an age.
These 4-1 exhaust systems are a bit of a pig to fit though. Anyway it's another job done.

Thanks buddy but it was no good for my set up.
For those who are interested after a lot of trial and error the common is the live that goes to the m-unit.

Regarding the wiring I'm using a m-unit and m-button but after market switch gear.
The switch gear I'm using has three wires for the lights, dip main and a common as do the indicators left right and common and two wires for the horn. My issue is I don't know where the common wires go. I know they are live.
A wiring diagram if anyone has one would help. Thanks for looking.

With big help from people on here, the wiring of the beast has begun. Every time I think I understand it it kicks me in the face. Starting to slowly get now. I think.

Project Board / Insurance while building
« on: January 07, 2017, 11:22:08 PM »
Hi all,
A few of you good folks out there know that I'm in the middle of the build at the mo and all of you know these bikes cost a lot of money to get going. After doing a few quick calculations in my head I'm aware that if there was a theft or fire I would be well out of pocket.
Any ideas about insurance while the bike has no MOT and hasn't been on the road since 1998. I don't even know what it's worth!

So I need an insurance company recommendation and a rough way of calculating what I should insure it for.
Thanks.

Steve.

I'm hoping mine is ok. It looked fine when I stripped it and at the price they are I thought I'd take a punt. Nothing to loose.
Haven't put any fluid in it yet though.

Happy new year and thanks for all the help I've had this last year.

Right, this is definitely my last happy new year!
When do you stop saying it?
