and interestingly, this is the very bike which graced the pages of the may 2004 issue of classic motorcycle mechanics.

CB750 / combined reg/rec
« on: July 28, 2015, 11:46:07 AM »
having done a few searches regarding rectifiers etc, is it a good idea to fit a combined reg/rec instead of the standard set up? and if so, which is the best one to buy? thanks.

started to loosely assemble the Britain to see what fits where, and its looking more like a bike already. next task is fitting the bodywork and making brackets where needed. i've got an ad in the wanted section for a battery box complete with electrics as it would make my job a little easier. i want to finish assembling the complete bike (minus engine) before the strip down as i'm a bit OCD with labelling everything and knowing where everything goes.

head off, i'm afraid. any swarf could end up inside and cause more damage. better safe than sorry.

going back to bearings, i've always tapped my bearings in with a hammer. it's very satisfying when the tone changes from a ringing noise to a more solid bong. mind you, my apprenticeship was on farm machinery...

i'm working on the rear footpegs for a cb750f2 and both pegs are badly mangled. before i make my own, has anyone re-made these? they are £20+  each with dave silver.
