Trying to finish the tear down and cleaning of the carbs this weekend. Lost one of the carb "plugs" under my work bench and of course I can't find it. lol oh well, got some ordered. The bowls are way cleaner than I expected. @pidjones - I will be sure to get some isopropyl alcohol to test for...

Got the carbs out and now tearing them apart. Ordered new rubber for them, also ordered all new Allen head bolts so I can get rid of the stock Philips head screws. Will get some parts cleaner and start soaking all of these parts. Untitled by CT, on Flickr Untitled by CT, on Flickr Untitled by...

Got the EX-Coil into the Cam cover hole of the cam holder. Also got anew battery installed and she fired and ran. Next is to go through the carbs as she doesn't run without full choke. Untitled by CT, on Flickr Prepping to drill out old threads. Untitled by CT, on Flickr No shavings please...

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Finally getting back to the project cause I just want to ride!! Got the new shims in then this happened.. About to go get a E-Z Lok kit for M6x1.0 for the cam cover bolt that stripped its hole. In the meantime going to get a new standard lead acid...

Loving the build man. As usual, this is giving me inspiration to get back going on my project. Couple questions for you: -When you shipped off your carbs for blasting I assume you took them apart and sent them in pieces? Is it hard to find a vapor blaster? -Where did you purchase the new...

SeattleMark, Where is this link your speak of? Found the member list, but no map. Even tried a search for "map" lol.

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Looking for frame hoops right now. Where did you guys get yours? Only need a small/short one. Found one on www.dimecitycycles.com. Also found one from www.tuffside.com. And then I'd have to get this handy frame plug...

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Thanks adventurco. I've been following most your builds and saw where you had an issue with the seals. I got my rebuild kits, and the pistons look good after a lil scotch bright. Already dental tooled the seal grooves. Will be putting them back...

What tires are those if you don't mind me asking??

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Got some DOT3 fluid this morning and got straight to work. Pistons don't look as bad as expected hoping I can just clean up the outside. As for the inside of the caliper, do you guys think I can just clean it up with some Dremel sanding buffing...

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Got the front calipers pulled off. Seems that the right front caliper was the one that was seizing. Just waiting on my rebuild kits from Georgefix http://www.ebay.com/usr/georgefix. Also, ordered up a valve cover gasket and bolt grommets so I can...

haha @julian, I'm getting the same feedback for that on my build thread (http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=70817.0). I dig the wheels, tires, and whatever is going on with the carbs I should look up. But, that tail section (tail light) are so clunky I can't stand it :P

Thanks @haircuttergirl. @canyoncarver, I'm planning to due a Cafe. Having just learned about them probably about a year ago when I had a friend build one now I cant get enough. Since then I've been researching, learning, and gathering ideas for what exactly I want. I picked this year mainly due...

You may have already answered this, but where are you getting those parts exploded view pictures with the part numbers that you're hanging on your wall. Just started following your build. Doing a lot of great work. Keep it up!

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Thanks BigNickel. I've seen your build as well. Super jealous of the GSXR front end. I need to find one of those ASAP.

Re: Just Another CB750F Cafe Racer 1979 DOHC Not much time for the project right now, been getting ready for the annual camping trip to Detroit Lake, OR. But I broke into the front brakes just a little bit to see why they're locking up. Here's what I found: Photo Jul 08, 3 37 41 PM by CT, on...

Hello DTT Crew, Spent a long time on here (and CB750c.com since my ideal bike was DOHC Honda) checking out the projects while actively looking for a bike that I liked, at a price I thought was good. It finally happened. Recently purchased a 1979 Honda CB750f. Only ~17,000 miles on the odometer...
