Spitfire:
Just found an old photo of mine when it was fairly new, the exhaust is stock Honda with a Dunstall silencer, which I may re use when I finish the rebuild, makes a nice sound.

Cheers

:) Hi Den looks a nice bike Paul Dunstall made some great exhaust pipes that sounded fabulous in the late 70s for Honda Fours & they were also of an excellent quality something you don,t see these days.What was the rack that was fitted \"Craven\" reason I,m asking is racks aways seemed to foul the seat when you tried to lift them on Supersports I saw a rack in the USA fitted to an F1 Supersport while I was on holiday there so I took loads of pictures of it.The design was a clever answer to the problem of overcoming the seat issue  \"it folded backwards after undoing a couple of 6mm bolts on wingnuts Sadly the maker has long since gone out of business so I will make my own & have it chromed.Why is it the F1 Supersport is the butt of many jokes in the so called Honda circles \"Rod Gibson\" of Classic Mechanics hates them to quote him they were the worst CB750 model ever made as he used one himself for two years & hated every minute of riding it? what he said  I don,t agree with this F1 is my second Supersport The first one I px my CB750K2 for that one was brand new & also a great bike & totally reliable unlike my best mates brand new Triumph Trident that he bought at the same time as myself.My bike looks standard  \"thats what I wanted it to look\" but its not it has a lot of 70,s \"Pops Yoshimura\" tuning bits inside the engine & some of my mate Steve Carpenter,s alloy bits & bobs don,t all F1,s look the same from a distance regards Asimo:) :)

Yes if my memory serves me right the rack was a Craven and I'm pretty sure that it did fold back to enable you to swing the seat over. Can't understand people not liking the F1, I had an early KO which was probably the best bike I have ever owned, then I bought a K2 new in 1972 and was very dissapointed, it was very slow and bland. I sold it a year later and bought a K1 which was much better, it was even better when I fitted a 900cc conversion. I traded it in for the F1 in 1976, the F1 was a vast improvement on the K2 and later K's, but it does not have those four flashy chrome pipes and the classic CB750 looks. Performance wise it was a step back to the K0 and K1 days with better handling. The F2 was even better but with a tendency to be more fragile than the K's and F1's.

Cheers
