CB750 Barn find project - First Timer
Underdog1:
This is as far as I’m going to get this weekend.
Relatively happy I suppose, looking forward to getting the wheels on.
I’ve put some hagon shocks on which seem to be a really tight fit, the top of the shock is touching the frame.
These were supposed to be direct bolt on replacements
Rob62:
Send the buggers back! 😄
Seriously, they won’t have been cheap. I bought some for 50 quid (not hagons) and they fit perfectly....

the only problem is despite them being new out the box they have been sitting in my garage for 18 months!I bought them though ebay as well and they were about 35% cheaper..
Ive emailed Hagon anyway as it may be that they can provide a thicker collar thing that would push the whole assembly down slightly. If not ill have to make up some spacers so it won't be disastrous
K2-K6:
With the bearing retainers, are you using a grease or lubricant to install them?
Going back a bit to the tank, the solvent I've remembered now is MEK which may get the coating to dissolve. It's used quite a bit in industry for cleaning and working with polymers in various compositions. Should be readily available.
