Tossed a timing light on my 1978 CB750K's wires after noticing that pipes 1 and 2 were cool and 3 and 4 were finger burning hot. Light did not illuminate on the two cylinders on the right side of the bike (as seated on it). I did ride the bike since getting it and noted occasional miss fires...

Tossed the airbox back on and went for a ride. Seems a little better, Working on gathering some tools to do a compression test and balance the carbs. [/url'] [/url'] [/url'] [/url']

Took it for a longer ride today. Idle is all over. Cables probably need routed properly, pod filters may be an issue and seat position is as comfortable as falling down a fire escape. It's way too fast for how junky it is.

Excellent! The mirrors made me laugh out loud

It's really quiet compared to the hacked off pipes it had. Sounds nice. I haven't had it past 3rd gear on my shakedown drive around the block so no high RPM sound yet. I have the headlight out and I am trying to sort the wiring mess the PO did on it. Honestly the guy did OK on the bike. It ran...

I then took it around the block. Let's pretend I had gear on, it was titled, licensed and insured. Today I went to the DMV and got all that done and bought a helmet. I really did

Here is how it sits after everything but the electric work wrapped up... I got the wiring mostly wrapped up. I even used the correct bullet connectors and shrink wrap. This I actually did do right. Popped the tannk back on and it started on the 1st try

My Dekelvic header showed up I then rebuilt the swing arm, maintained the chain and the rear brake. OK, no I didn't. ...I finished degreasing the rear end of the bike and painted the wheel and side cover. I added the emblem

I then got the bike prepped for more painting. LOTS of degreasing and wire wheel After painting the engine, I placed my cheap Amazon parts on the bike and pushed it outside to inspect my work sober in the sunlight

My 1st order of business was to do a compression test, clean the carbs and change the oil and plugs but that stuff is boring and costs real money so I busted out the rustoleum and painted the tank for a color test. I settled on orange I then tore off the front forks and rebuilt them and the...

and a pile of cheap parts off Amazon including the ubiquitous rear hoop, a seat and LED turn signals and some other stuff I'm so sorry you had to see this. Don't worry, I fixed it later. ...with Bondo PS, those shocks didn't fit and went back to Amazon. If anyone has had better luck with...

I did use an incredibly organized system to label the wiring connections. It's called "my memory" I then bought a <$300 welder.

I then meticulously labeled and bagged all the parts so I wouldn't lose any of them. Kidding, I threw everything in a bucket

The cool part was taking my buddy's rare 70 crewcab to get it I got it home and started taking off the clunky bits

This will be my 2nd bike I have ever owned in my entire 54 years of being on this planet. I have had about 20 project cars and several musclecars among those so I am a decent wrench, I am a way better carpenter and we won't even discuss my "welding" The 1st bike was a CX 500 Deluxe I ruined...
