HELLO I HAVE JUST ENTERED THE WORLD OF THE HONDA SOHC AND BOUGHT A 1978 750 F2. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME,CAN THE CAMCHAIN BE REPLACED WITH THE ENGINE IN THE FRAME. AND ARE THE RELACMENT CHAINS SPLIT LINK OR SOFT LINK.ALSO I HAVE NOTICED ON PICTURES THAT THE REAR LIGHT ON SOME,AS ON MINE ARE FITTED ONTO A REAR LIGHT BRACKET,AND SOME ARE FITTED DIRECTLY ONTO THE TAIL PIECE. I AM AFTER A CHAINGUARD AND A STANDARD EXHAUST.
MANY THANKS

Hi Dave,
            To change the camchain you would have to remove the engine from the frame, also the original chain is endless so would require a full strip. Why do you want to change the cam chain ?
The rear light/number plate on the CB750F1 and F2 (I own one of each) are both fitted to a chrome rail which runs just below seat height and has a bracket on the rear, have never seen one fitted to a seat tail.
For most parts for your bike I would recommend David Silver Spares.
Finding a standard exhaust would be very difficult (and expensive) the same applies for a chainguard, you might find something on eBay though.
Welcme to the SOHC world.

Cheers

Dennis

Fitting a soft-link chain still means dropping the engine, as there is noy enought clearance to remove the camchain cover, my F2 has had one fitted by a PO, a friend of mine had it done to his CBR600 with no probs,

I think the best after market exhaust you can get is the Motad 4-1, they look right for the bike.

Motad can be found here http://www.motad.co.uk/category.php?cat=Collector&manu=Honda

When I got my F2 it had had its seat mounted rear light removed and a fitted with the type fron the K seris.

Dave,
Nice looking bike. Where are you from in the UK?
Could this bike be an import? It looks like a US bike to me, but I am no expert! I just sold my F1 and miss it al;ready!!

HI JIM
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.
I AM FROM HORSHAM IN SUSSEX,AS FOR THE BIKE I ONLY GOT IT LAST WEEK SO HAVE NOT GOT THE LOG BOOK BACK YET, SO CANNOT TRACE ITS HISTORY, I ONCE OWNED A F1 BACK IN 1979 SO ITS NICE TO HAVE A SOHC  AGAIN,THE PAINT WORK IS IN PERFECT CONDITION BUT I DONT THINK IT IS A STANDARD COULOR UNLESS IT COULD BE A EUROPEAN COULOR,WILL PROBABLY BE ON THE FORUM QUITE A LOT NOW. THE CHAINGUARD SEEMS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. REGARDS
DAVE.
