    Carb #3 not working..

    1976 CB750K. Finally got my bike running so I was cruising around a little and I'm only running on 3 cylinders. Exhaust #3 is dead cold when all the others are hot. It's getting a good spark. So next I pop off my pod filter to carb#3 and spray some engine starting fluid in there and what do...

    CB750 shifter feeling funky

    So I took my transmission cover off to fix the oil that was always dripping out. Laid some liquid gasket down and slapped it back on and now the shifter feels really weird. I can shift through all the gears but it takes a lot more effort than before and doesnt spring back to position. It just...

    1976 CB 750 carb hell(p)

    So I'm the typical douche that put pods on his bike ya ya. Im also running open headers. I want to get some sort of small baffle or something just to give it some back pressure. I cleaned and rebuilt the carbs and I had 110 mains and 40 slow in and it ran well overall but was pretty lean. I read...

    New Coils?

    i've got a '76 CB750 with frayed spark plug wires, and the wires are built in to the coils so I have to replace everything. Everything I've heard says go Dyna, and I need the 5ohm with my stock ignition. Does this sound right?

    CB175 revving randomly

    I recently came into a CB175 for cheap. A new battery and a petcock cleaning and now it starts right up and runs. Except it will randomly rev up really high for 10 seconds every 45 seconds or so. Then it will go back down. The throttle isn't sticking. I wont' touch the throttle and the revs will...

    Thank God for Georgia!

    Finishing up the build on my '76 and stopped by the tag office to see what it would take to get a tag. I don't have a title so I was worried it would take a lot of time and money and filling out paperwork. Lady told me all I needed was the bill of sale and proof of insurance and I could walk out...

    My rearset set up on my CB750

    Just posting this to give someone ideas. It's a pretty simple system and it's cheap so it's not hard to do. I know I was really worried about mounting mine because I'm no fab master and spent forever looking at different brackets, but in the end I didn't need any of that. Used Dime City's...

    Carpy's oil lines. CB750

    So I bought Carpy's stainless steel braided oil lines ince my old crappy ones leaked. His has tons of pics of them on SOHC CB750's. These are the ends. However my oil tank has a male thread. And I'm not even sure about the end on the engine. One of the heads is stripped. Go figure! Are...

    CB750 front brake caliper bracket? Help please

    My bike is pretty well done (minus paint) except for my front brake! I have a 76 CB750k, but I think my brake caliper is off a different model or year because when I bought my new piston and brake pads I remember having to return them and get different ones. Anyways, the bracket between the two...

    What size gauges are you using?

    Trying to decide between 1.9" or 2.5" and I'm not sure which would be better. I plan on running both a speedo and tach on my 750. If you could include pics of your setup that would be awesome. Thanks!

    How to run fuel lines with 2 petcocks?

    My new tank has 2 petcocks, one on the left and one on the right. I've got a CB750 so 4 carbs. Should I run a line from the left petcock to the 2 left carbs and the right petcock to the 2 right carbs? Or bring the 2 petcocks together and then run 2 lines from that joint to the left and right...

    Exhaust question

    If I'm running open headers, or more likely putting a shorty muffler on, does it really matter too much what exhaust I get? I've been looking at the Mac 4-1 for my 750, and I've heard some bad things about it, mostly good though, but if all I'm using is the headers does it matter too much what...

    Do I need to return this tank to DCC?

    Finally got my Gus Kuhn tank from DCC. It is fiberglass with a black gel coat finish according to their site. I was planning on just being able to shoot it with paint and clear, except there are a bunch of deep chips in the finish, a residue around the edge like there had been pin striping that...

    DCC full indexable rear sets with passenger pegs

    I am looking at these rear sets from Dime City for my CB750, and I want to keep my passenger pegs. So since most guys just put rear sets where the passenger pegs were, could I use these rear sets and mount them somewhere else? So my question is, is it just up to me to fab up some sort of bracket...

    Fitting a passenger with a cafe seat?

    I can't be the only one that wants the classic cafe look with the hump on the back, and still wants to take the girlfriend for rides. I'm pretty small, 5'11" with a 30" inseam and my gal is very petite. Do you think I could fit her on the back if I got this seat? I'm ok with us being cramped and...

    What kind of front brake caliper assembly do I have?

    I was rebuilding the front brake for my 1976 Honda CB 750K and ordered a new piston, piston o ring, and brake pads for that model, but they are all too small. I did a little sanding on the outside of the caliper assembly and found "K5" stamped into it, but the 750 K5 should have the same brakes...
