Battery Earth Cable
Aberdonian James:
Hi
Can anyone tell me where the battery earth cable should be attached to the frame of my 1977 CB750 F1? The previous owner has carefully rubber mounted it thereby apparently insulating the battery from the frame instead of earthing it.
Thanks
Bryanj:
From memory it goes to the top rear engine mounting bolt on the RH side(as sat on it). Don't forget to scrape paint off if it has been re-done or you won't get a good earth
Spitfire:
Yep, if you are sitting on the bike it is fitted between the engine and the frame plate on the upper rear mounting bolt.
Here's a photo of mine.
Cheers

thats a nice clean engine, what did you clean your carbs with, I was thinking of using a brass wire brush but you seem to have done a real good job on yours.
Spitfire:
The carbs were cleaned with tea/coffee stirrers (from McDonalds), brillo pads, Solvol Autosol, and my Dremel with various wire brushes, however the most effective brush was a non metallic one, which is great for cleaning up alloy parts without scratching. Will try and find the details of it.
Got it, 538 abrasive brush works a treat, not cheap but it works
