CB750 / CB750F1 - 1976 UK model seat cover.
« on: January 02, 2026, 07:55:44 PM »
Dear All,

My 750F1 1976 model has the wrong seat cover. See attached photos of the red bike.

For purely cosmetic reasons, I would like to put the correct pattern cover on.

I would like the pattern shown on the screenshot of the blue bike. P&K have the pattern attached which has a double line down the middle and David Silver has the one with no line.

Is there anyone on here who has the original cover on their bike or can give me an idea of which is more like the correct one?

My cover also has the Honda logo on the back which P&K say is incorrect.

Thanks in anticipation.

Mike W.

Welcome Mike really nice looking bike has it been recently restored prior to you buying it or is it your own work ?

Thanks for all the comments.

The previous owner restored the bike. He has achieved a very nice rideable bike, which is what I wanted, not so good that I would be scared to ride it. It also has a standard exhaust which are now unobtainable.

I haven't the time, patience or skills required to carry out a resto although I think I can maintain and carry out a few improvements.

Ted,

Thanks for your reply and advice.

One of the wires is broken, all the contacts are clean and good, I have tried a bridging wire between the contact and bulb and it lights up ok.

I was thinking of tying string to the cables to pull it all back through.

I will definitely try warming and silicon spray.

Mike.

Hi All,

I have just joined. I have bought a CB750F1 this summer.

I haven't ridden it much as the headlight now doesn't work.

I have carried out fault finding and one of the wires between the right hand on/off switch and the headlight is broken.

I fitted new throttle cables athe week before so suspected that I had maybe broken a wire as I had the force the two halves of the switch apart to remove the old cables.

I imagine it will be quite awkward to withdraw/refit the wires through the handlebar.

Any advice will be welcome.

Ride Safe.   Mike.
