Thanks Julie. Those choke lever arms you sent me did the trick. I must say Matt Harper really know his onions when it comes to carbs, what a shame Gerben wasn't as careful. That wasn't the only problem Matt found either, even down to partially blocked brassware that hadn't been cleaned properly. I think me and Gerben are done now.

I've been referring quite a few people to Matt recently, not only is it easier than sending to Gerben these days but Matt uses my Viton carb O ring kits on his refurbs😊😊😊😊

Nice looking 750 restoration is it the Black one pictured on Page 1!

It is Ted. The one that looks like it was caught magnet fishing off Wigan Pier.

You must be chuffed to bits it looks brilliant - a 750 would need a Big Magnet. lol

Great to see another 'grand old Lady' back on the road again.....and another 'good job well done' by yourself.

I'm privileged as I have seen your splendid CB350 Four, CB450 and your GS1000 in the flesh and running so I am able to say just what a great job you have done on all of them, and i have no doubt the CB750 will have reached the same standard of excellence.

Well done mate........enjoy the spring rides on it now.

Just a quick reminder of the piece of junk that arrived from the USA all that time ago. Believe it or not that's the same tank. I thought this was dog rough until I saw Mick's 500 starting point.

Stunning Roy. We expected nothing else!

[K2-K6]

Fabulous work as usual Roy.

I really like these in blue as well, a great looking bike after all your hard work.

[Trigger]

Stunning build Roy. Looks like the same colour as my old K6. Did the bike not come with a original K5, K6 fuel tank ?

[andy120t]

Looks amazing - great work!

[Jan B]

That is a very nice bike indeed! Well done.

Thanks for that Trig. That's the tank it came with. Didn't notice until it was painted that it was an earlier item with the tap on the wrong side. K0/K1 maybe?

Edit.
Just checked photos of all models and you are of course correct Trig that only K5/K6 had the tap on the left. First time I have checked that as it was already painted so it was going on whatever. It's not 100% correct anyway, although the Boyer ignition dates back to when the bike was new so probably counts as classic (digital classic).
