    Melted rectifier wires

    I just noticed one of the yellow wires coming off of the rectifier on my 75 cb750 has melted almost through and gets super hot when engine is running. Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix. Thought about cutting out melted wire and replacing but is there a bigger problem at hand?

    Oil Leak at hose clamps

    I recently installed a new oil tank and put new hoses and clamps on, but i have a leak escaping through the clamps on both return and feed bungs of the tank. I tried really cranking the clamps but I think this only made it worse. Any ideas? Is there any type of sealant i can use? Thanks Ryan

    Hi all, I'm looking to buy a set of newish looking fork caps for my CB750. I believe they are the same from the CB550, CB500, and CB400. So any will do. Mine are all rusted and I'd like a pair that are more on the shiny side. Pictures are welcome. Thanks!!
