I have an old lady living next door that has a 10 year old Astra with 11k miles on it. Everywhere she goes she absolutely revs the nads off it pulling away and putting in the garage. And I mean redline type revs. She just had it in for engine work that cost her £1200, apparently they don't make them like they used to.

As I say, personal preference.

To me that looks like trying to hide something. I prefer to keep the genuine mileage as that's part of the bikes history. Personal preference I guess. Definitely Peter Horton as recommended above.

Just an addition to the above. The stands were all the same (slightly different but compatible) from K0 to K6 so that should widen the search a little. Does anyone know if the stand from the automatic would fit as we know where one of those is. Cheers.

Was that you Julie, I never looked who it was to be honest. Isn't it amazing what Honda charge for two tiny rivets. Nearly a fiver each on DSS plus his rip off p&p. Are they 1.7mm drill size?

Does anyone have, or knows where to get, the 1.7mm round head vin tag rivets. They are for a USA CB750K4. Cheers.

Let's not forget here that however well rebuilt the carbs are there is 50 plus years of wear to the slides and bodies. No amount of careful set-up is going to return your running to "as new" condition.

It's not exactly the best system to have two simplex primary chains tensioned by one tensioner. With the best will in the world these two chains are never going to be the exact same length, nor will they wear the same. So that one tensioner is going to cause chain slap that will resonate through the drive train. Although in practice the chains last very well, it's hardly a good design. So really anything that can be done to keep the rattling at bay is no more than a workaround to limit the effects of that bad design.
People may know otherwise, but I personally have never seen a 750 that doesn't rattle to some degree, all you can do is calm it down with careful setup. In my experience the electronic tacho setup of the jets is very difficult and fiddly to do and barely has any effect on the noise whatsoever. Balancing the air flow across the 4 carbs does appear to smooth out the rattle. As I say, other people may have different experiences, but that is what I found. I would be happy for someone to correct me on this with a proven procedure that works as that rattle is a pain.

Whatever you try the rust will eventually return. It's due to a poor chroming job that skipped the copper plating part. Nickel and chromium are slightly porous so without the copper the base layer of steel will always rust through. Pay cheap gets a cheap job.

That's the way the world is going. Who would try and sell a bike with a dead battery. Have these people no fathers to ask.

Morning. Had a quick site search and didn't come up with an answer. Did anyone ever come up with a truly workable solution to the famous CB750K clutch rattle. Somebody mentioned a Barnett kit, is that a real thing and does it work. Cheers.

Can you still get Avon RoadRiders. They quit making them a while back when Avon deserted the UK.
