Title: cb750 project
Post by: joeleeman on July 04, 2013, 06:35:55 PM

I thought i'd put a project thread up of my 750 if anyones really interested
it started life in two boxes and a rolling frame i got it for free so couldn't complain. got it to this point to check it ran ok

Turned out cam was 90 degrees out had no slow circuit on the carbs either so with no rhyme or reason or any direction to go in i kind of just did the easy project things that happen quick.
carbs cleaned before and after

after this i still didnt really have much of a bike so i decided to take a direction with it, frame mods to rolling chassis etc so it becomes more of the bike im aiming for rather than a pile of shiny parts i cant do anything with.
so i ordered my fuel and oil tank from bartell in northern ireland and was told to wait 40 weeks from may 12, arrived early just before xmas so i started to mount them

get to my current point
