1977 CB750 Deviant Hell Ride

Haha. A girl I went to high school with has a biz that does that. I could get a deal.

Murder it out in Black Leather and go with this...

(and I actually own that shirt ;))
 
Cut out the seat pad shape from Kydex sheet. It cuts really easily with shears or side cutters. I lay it onto the seat pan and hit it with the heat gun. As soon as it starts to get a sheen, it'll sag into the shape of the pan. I spritzed it with a water bottle to cool quickly.

In hindsight, I probably should have drilled my rivet holes while it was flat.

Yeah, with some ribs for strength is see this as a really nice alternative to all that glass and goo
 
Nothing fancy, just a set of carbs and the stock bread box. The major dysfunctions during shakedown ended up being a broken needle in the #3 hole and a sticky enricher rod. Back and forth with carb cleaner and WD-40 with lots of throttle action smoothed everything out with the enricher. Nothing sticks, and everything snaps back as it should. A needle from a spare set of carbs did the rest.

Maybe I'll figure out how to dress up the air box. Maybe a new one.

What are the numbers? Main Pilot Needle Turns etc... I cant get the Keyholes to work and as bad as it is I worked hard to get those clean and just like the LOOK :-[

I'll keep you posted as I figure this out, too. No wiring yet, so nothing is fired up. I adjusted the slides by visual measurement in hopes I have a baseline to begin. I set them all at the same level. I'm stock everywhere on the jets (105), nothing is changed. I have a feeling I'll end up going up to 110 or 115. D432 on the needle. Pilot is also stock. I just sprayed it through until I had a nice stream. I've been told a bunch, and I've read as much, that the pilot and enricher circuit are notorious issues on these carbs to those who don't know better. I hope I'm good. The 77's pilots are press fit, unlike the rest of the years.
 
Cool beans... Press fit pilots I have (hard to get new) and don't have any trouble changing, I went bigger when I should of went smaller I guess... only would idle with 1/2 turn out.
 
The other thing I have going on is a redo on the exhaust. I pulled the 750f exhaust baffle off and put on a modified Vance&Hines. I hope the V&H balances the carb situation. It should be more restrictive than the 750f, especially since the PO of that baffle opened it up more than stock.

My pipe has a baffle ;D
 
Excellent. It's nice having an extra set of parts handy to harvest from. The previous owner I bought my latest project from included an extra motor with carbs. Came in handy while cleaning the carbs and finding a pilot screw with no spring.
 
Still working on the craftsmanship, but the Kydex base is upholstered...
