CB750K7 resto

The Gulf Stream is not far away , Ted even so minus three a week ago was too cold to work on it, now plus nine  with two coats and a hat it's ok...my body protests after an hour and a half though

Thanks for the kind words, Ted Johnny 🙂 👍

Some nice work there.

I feel the 750 motor is the most neat aesthetically of this four cylinder series Honda made in that era. The inclined cylinder and generally smoother cases making a more complete design than the others.

Looks like being well on target for summer riding

Me too, it has instantly recognizable lines and a favourite for me over the smaller sister's. Nothing like big cubes ( cc's) 😁

Starting to look like a bike now, there's only the stuff laid out to go back on it...should be all done in two weeks [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

On the home straight now, another week and the K7 will be finished and ready to fire up....I'm happy with David Silver's exhaust and have fitted a Boyer ignition with black dc8-1 5 ohm Dyna coils following Boyer's tech advice...the three ohm dc1-1 blue ones would run hot, these are the right side of original 3.9 to 4.4 ohm coils [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Looking stunning Hubert. You will be well chuffed getting to that stage.

Thanks 👍 Johnny I am quite happy with it apart from putting the cerakoted parts including the front caliper somewhere so safe I can't find it. 😭 I've fitted a nos Rh switch UK spec so I can turn the lights off. Tomorrow I'll recheck the cam chain tension and valve clearances and fit the carbs, polish and fit the airbox on Friday and then have a tidy up and look for the blasted caliper...I hate losing things it's very unsettling 😊

[Johnny4428]

Most annoying when you lose items like that. I have had similar issues in the past. Never lost a tool or even a socket. Always return them back to their place at the end of the day. Now there’s probably several places and a few more besides where that Caliper might be? Happy hunting!🫢

I suspect most of us have mislaid parts in safe places.

I have had a good look but not turned up yet! It will have a side effect that I'll have tidied up by the time it surfaces!! I'm not normally like this , bit disconcerting 🤔 probably will be hiding in plain sight somewhere obvious

[Bryanj]

Go looking for a different part, that usually works

My trick to lose things is to move them into a strong cardboard or plastic box. Then I forget that I did that and look for the tatty box or plastic bag that they were in originally! 😟

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

My extra safe place is the bottom of my wardrobe, the other very very safe place - I'm still tyring to find that.

Absolutely, found them 😄 in a Protech  shock absorber box on the top shelf. I was sure it was empty or was that my brain 😉😁👍

Give yourself a good talking to then you can sit back with a smug grin.😜
