1976 CB750 Cafe Racer Build

It is an electric start. The Kickstarter is kept for looks

No matter what the parliamentary document says the MOT book says it must be as quiet as a machine with standard exhaust system in reasonable condition------another case where construction and use differ from MOT

[J.P]

Don't care what the government document says about noise. I have my M.O.T now.

That's an interesting read - the builders seem to have enjoyed the job. A couple of queries ....
1. Where is the oil filler? I'm guessing under the fuel filler flap.
2. Where will the number plate go?

[J.P]

It was only delivered late on Sunday and this damned thing called a day job has kept me busy for a couple of days, but tomorrow I'm taking the day off for as many miles as I can muster on it.

The Oil filler is in the top of the new oil reservoir , which is hidden under the tank. So petrol tank removal to get at it.

And the number plate is now fixed on a special bracket that was bolted to the bottom of the right rear suspension support, just not for these photo's

Gorgeous bike there. If you get a chance to post a video of her running, please do. I'm loving the exhaust by the way.

Yes, remiss of me not to have posted a video yes but I'll get round to it.
It's been running in very well so far, but having a oil drip from a couple of bolts underneath, one of the sump plug but what's this other one On the left had side.

[Chris400F]

Is it the part called Cap, Oil Path (part 5 on the diagram)?

[MrDavo]

Its just a blanking plug, there's nothing above it. There should be an O ring, though.

[J.P]

Thanks Mr Davo,
 I was thinking there should be one too, like everywhere there's oil right ?

[Chris400F]

Whoops! Looking at this thread again I realised I put the wrong image in my last post.
Oh well, to err is human .... Try this one, it shows the part and the associated oil ring.

[J.P]

ok thank you.
 Will discuss with the engine builders an find some. Cheers
