Title: hello every body
Post by: tarmac on January 26, 2014, 07:09:50 PM

hi everybody,..my name is Terry and i am the owner of a 1978 cb750 sohc,

I have been a member of the forum for a couple of years now but have never posted, so this is my first

I am doing some restoration[ repair] work and need some advice,??...the generator cover has been damaged and welded up,it looks ok but I am not happywithit and want to replace it with a good one,....there is one on ebay but it is from a K2, the question is,
will it fit a f2 crankcase or will I need one from F2 .

                                                 cheers Terry

Tarmac,
Hope your call sign is not because you hit the tarmac regular as for pics after you attach them the screen might go blank press f5 to refresh then go back on to the site as usual they should appear unless there too big as Steve has advised.Works for me that way
Cheers
Bitsa

When you are linking to Photobucket, you need to copy the text in the "Direct" box and place it between the image tags.

I've fixed the two below for you.

Bitsa,...got some news for you!!...went ahead and bought the Generator cover from ebay and got it yesterday.
and there appears to be no difference between  both of them, even the part number,...as there isn't a part number??.
that does not make sense,but could'nt find one!!
any way when the weather improves i'll get around to fitting it proper as at the moment I have only offered it up for comparison.


                                                         cheers, terry

Hi and welcome from Ashimoto

I bought a NOS F2 one a couple of years ago and after stripping the black paint off it (not even anodised) it fits my K0 fine and only subtle differences so you should be fine.

     a very appropriate nickname for me Bitsa, :)...cos most times out on the bike I seemed I travelled further on my ass than I did

on the bike,..i never ever managed to learn the skill of getting around corners at 60mph that any sane man would attempt at 40 or 50mph,

I still feel the pain now of splinters of farmers fencing and hawthorns sticking in me and tarmac stuck to backside...["Tarmac roads I just love em!!
