I went "looking" at bikes with my dad today after he just got his permit this past week. One thing let to another and I wound up driving this home for him. Got a great deal, and even got the dealer to add a 100% buyback within a year in case he wants to upgrade to a bigger bike next year...

So I picked this gem up from eBay for 35 shipped. It looked really similar to the bolt pattern for the horn on my CB750F, and it infact is the same spacing. I'm not certain is is made for a CB750F, but it's pretty darn close. There's obviously a clearance issue, I might have to somehow relocate...

I had my bike running at high RPMs on the highway today for 20-30 minutes. Got on off ramp and you could tell things were just way too hot. I could practically feel it on my face and there was a little smoke from engine. I haven't checked my oil levels yet, but what other options do I have for...

Trying to get my CB750 to run more smoothly, looking to adjust valves, points, timing, carbs sync. I've adjust the valves, .002 intake side, .003 exhaust side. They were pretty close to that, but I adjusted them anyway. The points were WAY off. I gapped to .014 (.012 - .016 tolerance). The...

What length of trips have you all taken on your cafes? I have a group going from Illinois to Michigan next month and am contemplating going, though I think it wouldn't be too comfortable.... Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

So I'm guessing it's normal to have water coming from the exhaust after the gas gets burnt off, but mine is dripping from the middle where the Mac megaphone meets the header. I'm guessing if water can escape from there, fumes will either. Will that effect performance? Is there a better way to...

So my CB750F tensioner was seized, which I was hoping would fix my noisy cam chain. After i fixed the tensioner, I reinstalled it, and I think I adjusted it properly to what my Clymer says. However, it's still noisy. Can anyone confirm I'm supposed to reset the tension 15* past TDC? Could...

The replacement tank I got looks really clean. However, there's lots of gritty rust coming from the petcock outlet. Should I just rinse with gasoline or should I use the Caswell kit I have? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Any tips for reinstalling the air box on a cb750? It's being a pain! Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I'm going with a satin black tank and seat, and want to have high gloss stripes down the tank. I would like to have a pair off offset stripes, similar to JayDecator's scheme. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=30712.msg374839#msg374839. My issue is the CB750F tank tapers from front...

I picked up a minty fresh tank, paint is in really good condition. Factory decals intact as well as pin striping. If I were to repaint, do I need to take it down to bare metal, or can I remove decals and sand it a bit? Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Looking for some advice here. With pads out, it looks like the rear disc appears to be brushing the caliper. Bearings were replaced when I had the wheels coated, could the collar not be all the way fastened causing excess space? If I recall, it's all the way down as far is it would go, could...

Has anyone tried cutting our symmetrical shapes on each side off the tank, then welded the cut outs in on the opposite side, essentially inverting the panel? Seems cleaner than pounding in knee dents. I'd like to see any pics or write ups if anyone has done this.... Sent from my SGH-T989 using...

Just curious if Lester Mag Wheels are worth anything. Looks like it, but I'm not seeing them much for a CB750F1. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Anyone know of a good way to fix discoloration of the engine casing and covers, aside from paint? Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I picked up a 83 VT750C Shadow front fender for 20 bucks off Craigslist. I'm wanting to fit it to my 76 CB750F. The back hole lines up perfect. The front needs to some how be extended. What do you guys typically do to do that? Looks like I'll also have to run my brake line on the outside of my...

I'd like to move the ground wire for atheistic reasons. It was grounded between the frame and right engine mount. Does it matter where I ground it as long as it's a solid connection? Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

At the end of this next season, I'll be breaking my bike down and painting the engine out of the frame. For the season, I just want to have it look half way decent. I've already got the exhaust off, Carbs off, and plugs pulled. Think it would be OK to plug things up and paint the engine whilst...

Guy who was helping me with my tank seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. Hope he's ok... If I can't get it back, I'll have to resort to a replacement. The big 30 is coming up next month, I think I can convince the wife to get me one for my b-day. Anyone selling one or have leads on...
