Sent the seat out today to get the truck and roll cover made up and installed, no major updates lately, mainly waiting to paint the frame to then begin reassembly. That's when the fun begins! So far my list that I can think of is New wheel bearings front and back, rebuild front caliper, new...

Some more work pics, started on the cleaning of the motor, and began wrapping the headers. The wrap is more of a temporary "fix" until I get a new exhaust system, but for the time being it will be much better than the peeling chrome. New Mufflers Also got the foam for the seat finished...

Did a whole bunch of polishing today, sprocket covers spark advance covers, fork lowers, man do my hands hurt, everything was started from 500grit and worked up to 1500 grit, then buffed on the wheel, a lot of work but worth it, I also painted the inside of the Honda logo on the advancer cover...

Re: 1979 Cb750K Cafe/Brat Build Thread No real updates today, just some little polishing here and there, started to clean the outside of the motor up with a scotchbrite and wd40, I decided that I am going to just wrap my existing 4-2 headers rather than buy a new set for now. I am going to get...

HD Now that I look at the pic of the bike that I posted the rims look nothing like mine, they are exactly like the on in the pic that you posted, I also do have to reflectors that screw into the headlight as well

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Notlob, the bike was completely stock as far as I know, original comstars, are you possibly finding the spoked wheels on the SOHC models? This is the first year of the DOHC models and here is a stock image of a 1979 cb750k just like this one

Thanks! I just hope it was the right decision!

I did a bit more work today, started working on the foam for the seat, it is just carpet padding, honestly it works really well. I just stacked layer upon layer to build it to how I wanted it to be, it is suprisingly comfortable, although thin, but thicker than a lot of cafe seats. The goal is...

Thanks for the link, although I am still a bit confused, what is the tail wire for on that converter you first posted? And would this converter work aswell, seems to be a bit simpler to wire up and should work the same, cheaper too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EP0GI6

where did you get your strips? I was thinking that maybe the converter had a sort of resistor on the tail circut thus dimming the lights and then full power for both turn and brake, so then a 2 wire strip would work

Ilovethumpers, I am working with stock 1979 cb750 , but I am ok with redoing the rear end of the wiring to adapt to work with this. Can you send me some kind of schematic so I may understand more?

Would it work something like this? Excuse the shitty diagram

Hey guys, I have a question for the wiring gods of this forum. I am planning on doing a rear light section out of strip led's, my plan is to have 2 separate strips that act as both turn signals and brake lights. I have seen cars with this before, when they hit the brakes both "strips" turn on...

Now that I have made some progress I figured I would start my build thread. The base is a '79 Cb750k that has a mere 8300 miles on it! I picked the bike up in NJ for $240 and figured if it doesn't go the way I want, I could always part it out for more than I have into it. This is also my...

What are you using to clean up the motors so nicely? Great collection of bikes!
