1970 (01/70) CB750 restoration

<< < (2/12) > >>

JamesH:
Rebuilt forks back on. Refurbished swingarm refitted with Yamiya rear shocks.

New Honda rear fender (3 hole) fitted with refurbished original inner fender. As with the front fender I’ve opted for New Honda parts here rather than rechromed originals.

All electrics cleaned, checked, refitted. Genuine Stanley indicators.

I’m using a Yamiya CB Green body set for this one (bike was originally CB green).

Lots of original parts re-zinced. Some fasteners missing so have used a Yamiya No. ‘8’ bolt kit where necessary.

NOS Honda bars with new switch gear.

Ignore the ‘heath robinson’ jacking arrangement - it’s much more stable than it looks..(honest).

JamesH:
Plated parts ready to fit.

Both wheels fully stripped, rebuilt with new bearings, hubs polished/inners painted (my preference). Note front wheel bearings hadn’t been replaced in this photo (old seal and chewed up bearing retainer clearly visible).

JamesH:
Oil tank chemically stripped and repainted.

Front end fully rebuilt and brake system fully rebuilt with Honda parts.

Yamiya seat test-fitted.

Airbox upper test fitted.

Starting to look the part....

JamesH:
Back on her feet with new shoes on..(Conti RB2/K112).

All electrics wired and working.

Rear light fitted.

Original master cylinder stripped, painted, rebuilt with Honda m/c kit.

Using a Genuine Honda front fender (should have a single-cut front fender but small compromise here as even a re-chromed original wouldn’t quite hit the mark).

New oil lines from Germany rebuilt to OEM braided finish.

Original side panel emblems refurbished, ‘grilles’ repainted and assembled onto Yamiya covers. Fit of the side panel emblems is so much better with original compared to reproduction items.

Yamiya short rear chain guard fitted.

The CB-green colour is amazing IMHO.

JamesH:
Will be re-assembling the Carbs Tuesday evening so will post more pics then.

James
