    CB750 1981 - My Latest Project

    Hey all.. I intend to recess the head of the swingarm bolt inside the cavity of the left side rear set! This will then provide an extra 10-15 mm of thread on the right!

    CB750 1981 - My Latest Project

    So on to the rear sets!! Having built a cafe/brat Esq CB550 in the past, the one thing I wanted to do to the this one was fit some sort or rear set to it! The 1977 CB550 is notoriously difficult to find bolt on rear sets that don't cost the earth or require some sort of frame modification...

    CB750 1981 - My Latest Project

    The next step I wanted to do was to look at the frame and the rear hoop. I have used a supplier in the past who i found on ebay (Triple Humph) to supply the hoop. He builds some really good LED integrated hoops and at a reasonable price. Once I figured out how short I wanted the rear of the...

    CB750 1981 - My Latest Project

    As it had only covered the 15k I decided to leave it as is! More budget than anything! Would have loved to upped the performance slightly but hopefully if i can tune it correctly jetting wise and a 4-1 it will be considerbly quicker than my CB550!

    CB750 1981 - My Latest Project

    Next job was to focus some time on the engine.. I stripped the top end of and inspected the bottom end for tolernces all seemed good. Took the excess paint off which was hours and hours of labour.. it seems no matter how much you clean scouer, or degrease, when you take a white cloth to it still...

    CB750 1981 - My Latest Project

    So first things first I stripped it down.. It was purchased from a trusted friend so with 15k on the clock and a known history I was confident the engine was fine. These bikes are great for getting the engine out the frame as the frame itself dismantles. Stripped the tank back to bare metal...

    Hey everyone!

    NIce!! Those stator plate covers are like gold dust! Surprised its still on! The 550's are great little bikes to work on.. the main issues I had were re-jetting for the pods and wiring in a non return diode when deleting the dual indicator idiot lights for a single one on a new speedo! Any...

    Cb750f swingarm upgrade to cb400sf

    Okay.. I’ve successfully lined up the rear wheel, the sprockets are not a million miles off so if anything I might have to space the rear sprocket out a little. I was think about having a spacer made that includes a bush to go inside the pivot bolt holes in the frame. The previous owner has had...

    Cb750f swingarm upgrade to cb400sf

    Thanks for that.. I’ve started working on locating the true centre of the rear wheel and making sure it’s central to the bike and the front wheel. Does anyone know what I need to consider when getting the bushings made up? Like materials and contact surfaces? Thanks Alan
