The guy mentioned a 'Richard' in one of his rants ... so I asked Rich (RGP750 on here ) if he knows him .... evidently Rich had a nice blue CB175K3 resto project for sale at an autojumble recently and a punter was pondering whether or not to buy it ... so our man on here moved in and persuaded him what a truly great & honest chap Rich is ... and the deal was done.   :)

Yes, we all know Richard, the restorer of the 1969 750 K0 extremely well. Members of this forum all know the restorer of the bikes being sold at Freddies very well. And as for the engine restorer of said bikes, how should I put this, we all know him very well, me more than most as he's sitting here next to me on the sofa.
The world of the CB SOHC4 in the UK is very, very small, especially the top restorers, we all know each other or all know of each other.
Anyways, I'm out of this conversation as its serving no purpose whatsoever.
Yes those Honda CB750 Fours being sold by bikes unlimited are not brand new what he is saying in his description to be brand new it has to be in the crate in original unrestored condition never seen a brand new Honda CB750 four k1 brand new in a crate on eBay only ever seen 3 brand new Triumph Trident T160V 1975 brand new still in the crate sold on eBay a few years back one sold for £20,000 one of them came from Carl Rosner as there was only 7,450 made ,3000 of them were exported to the us and a lot of them got broke up for parts and yes I,ve known Richard for a few years now as he was the one who told me about the bikes bikes unlimited that came from freddythefatfrog and see this eBay link eBay item number:336346167383 this is a Genuine UK Honda CB750 K5 1975 has the original Exhaust pipes with the stamping HMCB750 SR HM341 stamped on hem so David Silver is right and there is another two on eBay that are uk bikes one is a Honda CB750 Four K6 1976 uk bike that freddythefatfrog is selling with original exhaust pipes on it with the same stampings on them he has a nice KO on there as well and another uk K5 1975 with same stampings on the exhaust pipes and a lot cheaper

What a total mess of removing  a gearbox sprocket! I used to do those, they aint that difficult and you never remove tha chain till everything is undone!
I,ve had four T140s two were T140V 1977 and the other two were a T140e 1979 and a Triumph T140EX 1980 electric start model electric start only worked when the engine was warmed up I,ve taken these engines apart easy to rebuild but you need all the correct tools pullers to pull the cam timing wheels and clutch drive off and to remove the gearbox sprocket you have the pull the clutch primary drive off not like the old jap bikes as I have all the correct tools bought off a old boy who was a engineer which he made him self

Yes you do BUT you still leave the main chain on until you have undone the gearbox sprocket
