I like that bike. Love the pipewrap. Are those K&N or Emgo pods? How was it to jet/tune?

Those are the emgo pods. It was pretty east to tune BUT I hate the stock carbs. I may end up trying the cycle x dual carb set.

I saw Cycle-X's setup but it was only for the SOHC Honda. The rack of CR carbs they sell looks sweet though.

They have a dohc version as well. Their site is impossible to navigate some times!

A month so ago I saw a set on ebay listed for a DOHC and had not seen them on cycle-x website so I called Ken direct. He said the do have a set for them BUT they will not fit in a stock frame... onlt for custom chopper frames like the ones the sell.davidgwells said:

Pistol Pete's bike. My favorite DOHC 750 of all time. It was my desktop background for a very long time. However, I have been convinced by several members of this forum that the Cycle X conversion is a downgrade in performance. Also, I feel the cost is too high. Hedrives did a gixxer carb conversion that seems to be the better alternative.

New guy checkin in... I got a 1980 CB750C... Pistol Petes bike has been the inspiration for my whole project. Used his bike as my starting point and have found my way from there to create my own vision.
heres my starting point (most of you guys in this thread have already commented on my build thread so this isnt anything new), and here it is at the start of mock up.

ask me how i got here
I picked up an 81 CB750K about a year ago (or a frame, wheels, engine, and carbs) and this is what the scene looked like:
1981 CB750K (a bunch of parts in boxes)

No shit, it takes a lot of time! Ha! My project is going over 4 years now and it's still only about 90% complete.

Just getting started!
Been lurking for the last month or so trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can, there's a lot to be had here. Finally picked up my first bike last night, as 81 CB750K. Runs pretty strong but has only starts with a pretty good bump, battery is on tender now so we'll see. Not sure what direction I want to take it, kinda have to learn to ride first so i don't want to go cutting anything up just yet.
I'm planning on swapping out the coils for a set from a CBR and going with a slightly hotter plug, along with a stronger battery I'm hoping this will help the starting issue, or maybe it's just too damn cold in Philly right now. I have the current exhaust, look and sound, so I'm gonna grab a 4 into 1, recommendations welcome, but leaning towards a Carpy. Decent pods and new jets should get round out the hop up, again, recommendations welcome.
I figure I'll ride for a little bit before sorting out the aesthetics, im leaning more towards a brat style, we'll see.
In the mean time I'll be learning as much as I can from all you guys and my local shops
Cheers!

Nice clean build. I almost went brat style with my seat as well. Have actually considered building a second brat style seat for 2-up riding.
What type of battery are you using and where is it hidden? up under the tank?
