CB750 Barn find project - First Timer
Nurse Julie:
I would be very concerned about all the pebbles in the bottom of the barrels ;D ;D ;D
Underdog1:
Thanks for the advice everyone, yeah I'm out my depth but if I don't do it now I'll never learn how.
Haven't actually looked into how you measure wear on the different bits, main effort was to just get the top end off to make it a little easier to transport (doesn't seem to make much difference though!).
How do the clymer manuals rate against the Haynes btw? Might get one of its a bit more descriptive
Nurse Julie:
There are proper Honda manuals you can download from tinternet, maybe also in Ash's drop box but not sure. Also on SOHC.net

The CB750 Shop Manual is in the mega 750 download in Ash's Dropbox.
Fortunately for you (as the download has about 1,000,000 pages) it is right at the beginning so you won't have to hunt for it.

Cheers mate will check it out.
Went to Motorcycles Live at the NEC yesterday, was decent but didn't see any old Honda SOHCs. Had a look at some lifts and stands as it's a nightmare working on the engine on the floor. Didn't really have anything that looked useful to be honest.
For stripping and building a bike what are the best stands to use? Headstock stand and rear paddock stand? The scissor belly type lifts look good but I'd have to take the headers off to use one.
Also I've seen people adapt V8 engine stands rather than use bike specific ones, what's the advantage to this?
On another note I entered a competition to win some tyres and had to hold a tyre out in each hand for as long as I could. Came second to some unit, gutted! Could have done with some freebies! ;D
