Geez, I thought for sure someone here had dealt with this before. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I have paid. I did request a custom seat. The seatpan needed modified, (shortened on the tail) and tuck and roll with red stitching. We corresponded back and forth for a week getting the design right. I don't fault him for that, as it was my idea of what I wanted, and communicating it properly...

Greeeeaaaaattt......

I'm getting one from this company... http://www.motorcycleseatsdirect.com/ I sure hope they're not the same group. So far they've been pretty decent to deal with, and I'm a PITA when it comes to customer service expectations. LOL loudest143

It's not my first full tear down of carbs. I also used the search engine here at DTT, and didn't find the answer I was sure I would find among the myriad of carb posts. Here's what I'm working on. CB750F CV carbs from a known running bike. Fully torn down, dipped, cleaned, scrubbed coddled...

Yeah, that shipping charge is darned high, but I figure it's coming from Vietnam, so that might have alot to do with it. Still a nice product, and not insanely expensive with the shipping charge, IMHO. ;D

Thanks for the reply on the seat options. I really don't want to get into cutting the frame. I guess perhaps at some point I'll consider it, but I'm gonna look at my options for seats. Here are a couple that are my top two choices. **at the moment.**...

Hey DOHC riders/builders/posse, I'm rebuilding and cafe'ing an 82 CB750K. I've been agonizing over the right seat style to slap on this beast. The K model has that stupid step up on the frame, and I'm sending out a feeler for the learned and experienced readers of DTT. What did you purchase...

Thanks for the reply, teazer! I was thinking that there has to be SOME WAY to remove the advancer(and its' plate). I bet that will offer some more information. I can say that when the timing is set to TDC that the correct cam nodes, either 1 or 4 do in fact point towards the spark plugs as they...

It's been about 3 years since I've had a vintage project, and recently I picked up an 82 CB750k. Titled frame, motor removed, tank needs a little pinhole repaired, and the carbs are 42Bs from a donor 750F. Mac 4 into 1 is going to be where I start on the exhaust, and Axxcel coils and wires. The...

I just picked up an 82 CB750K. I'm going to watch your progress... I do have a couple of questions. Did you fabricate your seat completely yourself? Who did the upholstery work? I'm going for a similar look. I see you're capable of doing your own welding. Did you purchase the rear frame hoop...

http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=24291.msg259479#msg259479 ^You may want to read part of the back story, so you can understand this part.^ (long story short, I hit a car that pulled out in front of me at 45mph in June 2010) I received a call from my personal injury attorney on...

I've got a Thruxton that looks just like a 98 Honda Civic. Could I supply that? ;D

Are they rebuilt carbs? Do they have a fully matched set of jets that you've visually inspected personally? Are all the o-rings brand new, including the ones between the carbs on the fuel lines? Are the gaskets fresh and intact? Are the diaphrams intact and in good shape? Have you...

This is definitely NOT a bike to tear down and modify. It's just to rare a find. 12 original miles?!? That's just such a great steal at 700 bucks! Great find, great ride, and good luck on your new all original bike! It's beautiful!
