CB750 / Re: Dual brake lines 750

They were only 16p each, and seemed to specialist items, 6 x 8mm x 110mm, high tensile. Do you have a particular ebay supplier?

Very tidy.

I've been on touch with SS on the forum, so hopefully we are on our way.
Got the bolts for the Dual Disc, but had to buy 50 off.
So have a few spares if anybody wants any in 6's.

CB750 / Dual brake lines 750

Does anybody know where I can get brake lines made up for a 750F (1975) with dual discs and low bars?
I've asked Goodride to make them and they are not happy as I want them to direct feed with flexible to the calipers.
I've asked SS in the states once before but, no reply.
Thanks.

Well I rang D S yesterday after you mailed and they were still in the shop!!!!!
The system was down but they don't hold out much hope, so did a worldwide search on Ebay and came up with an item in Salt Lake City. 17 hours to go. I may scrap the other caliper then no will use it unless some on the site has a different idea.
Thanks once again.

CB750 / F1 Caliper welding, answers needed.
« on: August 20, 2009, 05:18:49 PM »
I have a front caliper that has been drilled to force the piston out. A cut down M6 bolt has been screwed into the hole to allow the caliper to be used again.
When I stripped the caliper down I found the tapped hole was not good. Can this be welded or can I drill and tap M8 from the inside, use a countersunk bolt, insert it from the inside, putting an M8 nut on the outside?
I'm worried the welding may damage the internals of the caliper bore and can't see any new or used on the net.

So how did they sit when the clocks were transferred to the fairing mount?  Were they still attached to the yoke is some way?

It's been getting less and less each year, besides nodding I always wave, but a lot of the time there is no response. When you go to Europe, mainland it's a totally different story. a supposition is that they can remove the clutch hand to wave whereas we have to remove the throttle hand, which is closest. I don't want to castigate any bikers whatever their chosen attitude, but when we meet then hopefully they will be part of the same fraternity.
Did a south island NZ tour and when you get off the bike you are almost dragged into their homes to discuss "the Motorcycle". Love the place.

Hi everyone............
Thanks for the welcome.
I've been on the US site and have been posting my refurb with photos under the project blog. CB750 refurb with Rickman fairing.
Been removing the oil seals from the forks today as they leak, new ones on the way, also painted the fork legs black.
I'll put up some new shots tomorrow, but here are some oldies.
I'll see if I can get her MOt'd for Stafford.

The yellow F1 is a donor bike that a few goodies on.
Cheers
