Well it's tight but it fits! I removed the chain guard before I even tried to fit the tire but I think it would clear with it. I had to move the brake stay rod to the outside and need to space it out where it attaches to the wheel. Otherwise it looks like its going to clear ok. I haven't had it...

One kick when cold is pretty tough. You have to get the gas flowing to the cylinders so 2-3 kicks cold is acceptable in my book. When hot one kick should suffice. Make sure your points are set properly, your plugs are good and properly gapped, your ignition system is in good shape, carbs are...

Mostly for convince and appearance. The stock 18" wheel on my bike is bent and I didn't notice the rear wheel on the parts bike I picked up was a 16". It has a worn out 130 on it now but I like the look of the wider tire so I figure if I can fit a 140 then why not? I'm getting the bike ready for...

Rear wheels on the earlier 750s where 18". Stock rear tire size was 110/90-18 but you can go up to a 120 on the stock wheel. Stock on the front is 19" wheel with a 100/90-19 tire. For the rear just find an earlier bike and get the wheel. For the front you would have to buy a new 18" rim and...

I have a 16" spoked rear wheel from my parts bike that I'm going to install on my 74 Cb750. The wheel has a 130/90-16 tire on it right now that needs to be replaced and I am considering going to a 140. I have read that some say there is plenty of room and no mods are necessary for it to fit...

The bike bounces and shakes really bad between 35-50 mph. The guy said the rear wheel is egg shaped and that I shouldn't ride the bike till its fixed. I don't claim to be a motorcycle expert but I am an automotive mechanic by trade and I don't know if I trust this guy. They were supposed to sync...

I had my cb750k4 in for some work last fall and the shop told me that both wheels are bent badly. Is it normal practice to repair a bent wheel or do you just replace them? I want to stay with wire wheels, are there any affordable alternatives to stock that would be an upgrade or improve...

Finally got my CB750K4 out on the road wednesday. I have a few problems Im running into and could use some advice on. 1. Starting between 35-40mph and ending around 50mph when at a steady cruise the front end starts to bounce like you're riding down a washboard. It was very pronounced the first...

Yeah its laquer clearcoat. If it doesn't last oh well ill do it over with the right materials.

I finally got something accomplished on my bike so time to start a thread on it. This is my 74 CB750 that I'm aiming to make into a mild cafe/cruiser. I got the bike in trade for some old snowmobiles :) I got it in running condition but the front calipers were seized. The tins were straight but...

Saw this on the way to work one day. They were going somewhere too as they all had packed bags. Couldn't be comfortable at all.

Pretty sick. Id love to know if Hacker Joe sprayed that car.

I love those bikes. I think mid 80's and later are fine just the early ones had some issues but by this point if they are still running and on the road they are probably fine. The next bike on my to-buy list is a 86 VFR750 in white with the blue seat, great looking bike.

This is the car I'm thinking of, pretty similar look :) I think Hacker Joe's car was the first LS1 in the 9's on spray. Very fast car especially for the day. This is back when a 13 second street car was still considered quick lol. Im pretty sure he was from the northern burbs too.

What's the going rate to do a set of cb750 wheels?
