This is a hand crafted drop-in replacement for a standard Honda CB750 seat from 1969-1976. It is built on a regular Honda seat base, so there are no modifications required to the bike to make this fit. Just attach it and ride. $250 Located downtown Toronto (Leslieville)

I was going to do the front next year. Any recommendations for the front.

I'm looking to replace my rear shocks and wondering if anyone has recommendations. I've read that the stock shock for a 72 CB750 is about 13.35". I do like a bit higher rear than stock, and don't want to change the geometry too much. Would it be ok to mount a 14" shock? Recommendations...

72 cb750K My mechanic has rebuilt and sync-ed the carbs and replaced the manual tensioner. He says he’s still concerned with the engine noise. Sounds like much of the noise is from the clutch basket. Perhaps he’s hearing something different in person than I am getting from the video. My...

Had been waiting on a local shop who finally delivered my bike in a less than optimal state. Looking for someone with some carb-fu to get me on the road again. Located downtown Toronto.

Having the darnedest time finding this. Out of stock everywhere I've looked. Hoping to land something quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated. Located in Toronto, Canada

Whoops. Meant to do that. I'm in downtown Toronto. In Leslieville.

I haven't ridden in about 5 years and will need safety and emissions... But I can't get insured without both. Are there any mechanics in downtown that'll do a pick up/drop off?

Still can't get this to seat securely. It works, but comes undone as it's never entirely fastened. Is it supposed to click tight?

Looks ok. I don't want to force it.

Is there a trick to fastening this? I have it aligned properly but the two sides won't seem to snap tight.

Battery was showing a full charge as per the charger... but it was actually not holding the charge. New battery... Problem solved. That said, I might rewire the bike to clean up the mess. Is installing a new wiring harness relatively easy to install?

I've always been nervous about the idea of digging into electrical, but the mess of wires behind my headlamp needs some tending to. I think a different year wiring harness was used when the wires were last touched, so I have wires in colors that no way match the wiring diagrams, wires that go...

Everything was working after the changes. But after I charged the battery it started acting up.

The swapped high and low is curious. But I'm more concerned with the bike behaving as if the battery is dead though the meter indicated a full charge. When I install the battery and turn the key the neutral light comes on at full brightness for a second but then quickly dims so it's barely lit...
