Wow that is a Beaut!!! Time to upgrade

Ahhh so I take it there is a divider inside the tank sectioning off each side. Manuals it is then I'm going to look into that single shutoff idea should be able to fab something up. I've been reading a few threads on getting rid of the points and going with a more updated system. Any thoughts...

So only benefit of the vacuum is the auto shutoff? I could put manual ones on and turn them off myself with no issue on fuel delivery. Also would there be an issue with blocking one off and use one petcock with a splitter instead of 2 leads off the tank?

Just picked up a 77 XS 750 sweet deal should make a nice little cafe project. Question I have is can I use manual petcocks on it in place of the stock ones? whats the real point of the vacuum hose on them? can you just have a gravity feed to the carbs?

Im looking at starting into a 1979 CB 750k project. The bike I'm looking to buy has spoke wheels on it. Found a pair of Comstars off a CB 650 (single caliper front, Drum rear) in good shape. Was just wondering if anyone knew if they were a direct bolt on or if some modification would be...

Are the frames of the 79-81 CB 750F super sports the same as the CB 750K's? Besides the rear peg mounts because I know they are different.

I've got a question about your 440 swap. Just pistons/jugs/head and cover? all the other parts are interchangeable? also, you notice a big difference in overall power? low mid high range? I have an old 440 motor I got for free from a friend wasn't sure what to do with it I have all the parts...

The ticking and the high compression let me to believe your timing was out a tooth either way, but now that you have checked it and its bang on i'm kinda stumped as well...

This a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke bike?

sounds to me like your pistons tapping a valve. You sure your timing isn't slightly off?

Stock sizes are Primary 70 secondary 95 I rejeted mine to this and it's running golden brown plugs: Primary 70 to 80 Secondary 95 to 105 left pilot alone and screw is out 1 1/4 turns on my bike Running CV 32's (diaphram carbs) with pods. Exhaust is 2 into 2 with headers cut off at old muffler...

Hey sorry was away for a bit, Ended up being a junk battery... tossed a new one on and got the #'s I was looking for.

cool thanks for the reply, I guess back to the grinder we go!!!
