Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall
Bryanj:
If the title has the correct year on it it should do, if its different you will need the dating letter. Note DVLA wil NOT return the US title.
Sesman:
Strange, they returned mine!

The bike is very nearly apart now. After a two day soaking in PlusGas every nut and bolt came out without a fight which makes a nice change. The problem now is I'm already working in a cramped environment and a bike in pieces takes up a ton of space, so it's all pretty compact in here. To that end I am working on getting parts out for plating/painting etc as quickly as possible.
The engine will have to stay in the frame for now. I usually remove the engine by sitting it on the right hand side and lifting the frame off the engine. The problem I have just now is the points cover, although dented, is recoverable so I don't want to damage it further. As I don't fancy shelling out £300 for a NOS item I have bought a badly damaged cover off eBay for £3 so am waiting for that to arrive to protect the engine whilst on it's side.

You modding the frame before painting so you can get the head off in the frame Roy?

No I'm not going to bother this time. I did a mod on my 750F2 about 7 years ago because of the valve guide issues with that model and to date I have not had to use it. Although I also did a valve guide fix from the USA (cant remember the name of the place now) so am not expecting to go in there any time soon.
Edit:
Cycle exchange or Cycle X is the USA company that does the valve guide upgrade (Kibblewhite). Took over an hour to remember that, that's why I don't do pub quizzes any more.
