I’m smart enough to follow directions. The problem is there aren’t any directions. They did email me some directions, but perhaps my stock controls are wired different than the ones described. True, I did not take the time to put a multi meter on them. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

The colors don’t match the stock switches. I couldn’t tell which wires were going where on the universal switches, and got frustrated with trying to figure it out. I would think a diagram for the universal switches wouldn’t be too much to ask, but maybe I’m wrong. Either way, I’m not trying to...

On the old clymer manual the bike is #88 and it’s an f super sport. I couldn’t come up with a user name, so I just punched in 88ss. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Here’s what I’ve done: I pulled the carbs, and completely disassembled them (yes even the slow jets), I soaked them in an ultra sonic with heat all day, checked the valves (all in tolerance), changed the oil, new air filter, changed the starter clutch bearing, rewire the whole bike, upgraded the...

Don’t feel bad. Mine is also a dangler LMAO. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Wow. Good to know. How many amps do they draw? I personally am not a fan of the solenoid. Main reason being I can’t find a decent mounting point. Curious what your doing with yours Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I was going to say: doesn’t the m unit eliminate the starter solenoid? I’m probably wrong, and don’t have any experience with the m-unit, but I thought that was one of the features These carbs are a super PITA. I’m following and wishing you all the luck. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

A few of them are the same color. That’s true, but there’s no way to tell which wires go to which switches? How am I supposed to wire them up? I don’t need directions I need a diagram. Great waste of 65 bucks, and a huge disappointment considering they are built well. Too bad If there’s no...

Sorting out the gremlins Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Thank you! That top one should do Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I had some gremlins in my stock harness (1980 Cb750f). Now I’m looking to make my own harness, because a tanked the budget. I want to simplify this mess, but I can’t find a simplified diagram. I’ll be running p/a ignition, and cycle x’s charging system. I’ve got those two sorted out, but I’m...

Not at all. It’s only 5 wires. Buy some connectors and a little extra wire. Stock Honda wiring: green is ground, red/white is power, then connect the yellow wires and your in business. Very simple set up, and I could actually tell a difference immediately. Seems like the smaller size rotor...

The three most annoying things on the DOHC is the charging system, the carbs, and the ignition system. Upgrade these three. Since you’re going with no airbox, I would start with the carbs. There’s a relay mod for the ignition coils. It basically bypasses the ignition switch. That paired with...

I’m fully on board with what chuck is saying. A few years ago I bought a 1980 Cb750f. The guy I bought it from made me promise not to chop it. At first this was tough. I fantasized about screaming down the road on a “cafe racer”. I didn’t chop it though. I focused on bringing it back. Over these...

Cycle x ignition for the Cb750f Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Thought I would post an update: I bought the cycle x charging system, which comes complete with a solid state unit. It’s a very nice set up. Super simple to install. I had to dive a bit further into the electrical than normal, but it wasn’t bad. Also got a good battery (with a 2 year warranty)...

Details when you wire the m-unit!!! Please!! Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Put the multi meter on it today, with a fresh battery. Voltage drops when reving. Looks like the the r/r is toast Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

I’ve been working out of town, so I haven’t had a chance to work on it. First order of business is to get a new battery and then put a multi meter on it. The battery definitely kicked the bucket, so that could very well be it. I suspect it’s not because one day it was fine and the next it was...

Charging system shit out on me again. I got almost a year out of it. This time I’m upgrading to the cycle x charging system. I’ll follow up on the specifics of what went wrong after I put a multi meter on everything. The good news is: I was packing to take a trip last weekend. Charging system...
