CB750 / Re: Model Identification and bearing issues
« on: February 02, 2011, 06:44:31 PM »
Cheers for the advice guys, it would appear it is what I thought then. Just the US frame numbers confusing me. I have attached a couple of pics, sorry about the quality but they were took on my mobile and now the bike is a bare frame so not much to see there!

As for the bearings I am certain I have all the spacers there, I have tightened everything up as much as I dare and it seems OK. I have got a mate who worked for Honda in the 70's coming down to look at it on Saturday so hopefully he will give me a clue

CB750 / Model Identification and bearing issues
« on: February 01, 2011, 04:18:14 PM »
Hi people, I am looking for some advice as I am rebuilding a CB750. First issue I have is identifying the exact model, I believe it is a CB750 f2 (1977) but the frame number and engine numbers do not tally with anything I can find on the internet.

Frame number is CB750G-1000116
Engine Number is B750GF-1000024

If it is a CB750F2 though, those numbers do not match what I am finding on various websites.

The other question I have relates to steering bearings, according to the parts file I have it should have standard bearings fitted but mine has tapered ones. The reason I ask is even though I have replaced the bearings and tightened everything up there is still a bit of play in the yoke. I am use to working on modern bikes where this sort of play would be excessive but is this normal for a CB750??

I am sure I will be coming up with more questions but any advice on the other 2 questions would be much appreciated
