    Diagram of a non permanent magnet RR

    I have an RR from Sonrier for my '75 CB750. I would like to know what a diagram for this thing looks like. Mostly just to satisfy my curiosity, but also to understand the difference between the red and the black wire. I believe the red goes directly to the battery and the black runs to a...

    Relay vs solenoid

    What's the difference between a relay and a solenoid? Aren't they both electro-magnetic switches? It occurs to me that the solenoids I can think of are for starters and therefore momentary, and relays for headlights or the like are toggle (but that's more a function of the switch they are...

    Name that tool (please)

    Seriously. I don't know what this is. I own it, at one point I felt the need to buy it, probably even special ordered it, maybe even used it. I thought it was a special service tool for either my CL360 or CB750. But I'm becoming less sure of that as time goes on without an answer. Could be a...

    Testing CB750 stator

    My '75 750 is having a charging issue. I'm trying to test the stator to narrow down the problems but might be confused. In this picture the white field coil wire is hooked up. The three yellows obviously are not. In this configuration, with the bike running I thought I understood that there...

    Using a timing light

    I just tried to time my 750 with its new Pamco but either I'm defective, or my timing light is. As soon as I put power to it (clip it to the battery) it starts to flicker like mad. Not consistently, seemingly randomly. The bike is not on, and the trigger pickup is laying on the floor not near...

    Rewiring a Pamco ignition

    I just started to hook up my Pamco ignition to my '75 750F. The wiring seems really goofy. There are six wires in total, grouped into two harnesses. Both triggers are green. Then there's a black ground wire from each board, and a red power wire from each board. I'm hoping I can just ground the...

    Trying to get the new girl running.

    I know this is an odd place to ask questions about a 2001 R6 but I'm having a lot of trouble getting her going. I tried to start her quite a few times over several weeks (two young kids mean I try to find ten minutes here and half an hour there to fiddle with it) I had to pull an aftermarket...

    windscreens for sportbikes

    I'm looking for a clear windscreen for a 2000 R6 and I can go with one of the big names (Puig or Zero Gravity) and spend around $100, or I can grab a $35 one from "Moto Fairing Inc" I don't want to go cheap if there's a decent reason not to, but this is a piece of trimmed vac formed acrylic...

    Tricks for soldering

    This is driving me crazy. Sometimes it takes five seconds and works beautifully. But sometimes this stupid stuff never melts and I just sit there in an awkward position for what feels like half an hour and nothing ever happens except the shrouding all swells, sweats and melts off. Sent from my...

    Choosing relays

    I'm looking for a couple of headlight relays and probably a ignition switch relay so that I can use a small toggle for that. Having looked through Waytek Wire for days. I'm more confused than ever. They have mini relays and micro relays. Since I'd like to stuff everything into the smallest...

    1975 CB750Fss rebuilt restart

    My goal was to keep this engine as stock as possible because I just want to ride the thing as much as possible, but once I started to tear into it to track down a transmission issue the issues started to pile up. click here if you'd like to know more: http://www.dropbarscinder.blogspot.com/...

    Identifying piston rings

    I'm ready to drop my budget pistons into my budget bores. This an 836 '75 CB 750F btw. This kit came with no instructions whatsoever so I'm winging it here. In the attached pic, which would strike you as the top ring and why?The one with the chrome outer edge seems like it might have a small...

    Dude where's my first gear?

    Back when I was first trying to resurrect my '75 SOHC 750 from its junk yard days I needed to break the corroded clutch plates free. The way I usually do this is to hold the clutch lever in with the bike in gear and rotate the rear tire in short jolts until it frees. Well maybe I hadn't gotten...

    Pulling the little guide cylinders

    Know what I'm talking about? Those little steel bastards that surround one or two of the case bolts on each case part. The two on the bottom of my 75 750 jugs are being real bears. And at this point I've mangled them enough that I no longer have a choice and have to get them out. You can't...

    Best bike VIDEOs

    Taking inspiration from the other best bike movie thread, I'd like to start a best bike video thread. I just watched for the I don't know how manyith time a little but beautiful slice of digital celluloid put together by two of my best friends and it has me wondering about all the other great...

    Off the shelf valve guides ('75 cb750 SS)

    I'm looking at these: http://4into1.com/ape-high-performance-bronze-valve-guides-honda-cb750/ To replace my old ones because there's a little wiggle, and they're an in budget upgrade. Is it worth while to put money out for guides if you still want to use the original valves? Or is it more of a...

    Matching an 836 bore on my 750.

    My original intention was to build up my 1975 CB750 Super Sport. In fairly stock trim so that I could have something cool to cruise to work and back with when the weather was good but I didn't want the stress of riding my 360. I started to tear the motor down just because the trans was acting up...

    Pulling a SOHC CB750 motor?

    Is there a specific procedure to this? I laid the bike on a pile of towels on it's right side and undid all the bolts, so it's loose. Just can't get the frame around it. I've left the rolling chassis intact and know it would be a bit easier if I stripped the frame completely, but I only want to...

I thought I'd share some of the pics with all you folks. Ill get this...
