I sorted the oil leak out, it was the seal under the cam tower. So I put the engine back in and it ran like shit (spitting out of the carbs) . So I must of had the carbs off 20 times checking the float heights, clean the jets and spend two days looking on the internet reading all about the carbs...

Am not sure ? But that's what it looks like. A mate has said it could be the seal under the cam housing and looks as if it's coming from the bolt!

Started the engine for the first time tonight. I first took the plugs out and turn the engine until oil come back to the oil tank, then put the plugs back in and started the engine. At first it was rattling and then it went quite and smoke filled the garage up, I looked at the front of the...

Been a long time but have been busy with work and on the bike. Got the seat finished off and the exhaust, wiring done just needs to be wrapped. Pick up sprockets tomorrow 17 front and 46 rear.

Chas, not seen you around since dirty bobbers went down. Will have to catch up soon.

Put the engine back in this weekend and put my back out. I can start to finish the small things now and the wiring. Also got some 40 weber DCOE sidedraft carbs that am thinking of making a manifold out of wood and filler then get it cased as I have looked to buy one and cannot find anyone who...

Great looking bike, old man and sounds bloody great going up hill.

When I started this project I always like raked out bikes long and low, that's why I built my triumph bobber low (maybe a bit to low). With the honda I wanted to build something different and looked at honda cafe racers on U-tube and saw a lot of nice bikes but nothing that stood out. So I...

Re: "Woody" a '75 cb750k cafe racer. LOOK AT MY CRAZY PAINT :) Mate that's one hell of a paint job. Am taking my project off and just going to keep on reading yours.

Sorry I haven't been updating, been busy working and working on the bike. So here some photos of the update, rear seat and wheels painted, oil tank finished off and some polishing back from a mate.

Got some parts back from the polishers and some different fork legs. Am happy the way the top of the fork Yolk turned out with the handle bar holders cut off and filled in with alloy plates.

This is how I raked it, I got the bike upright and took the weight of the front with a jack and removed the plate that sits on the frame and headstock.I set up 2 lasers, 1 on the frame to the headstock and 1 on the floor pointing to the headstock and marked where the laser hit. I then cut a line...

Yes mate, cut the back of the head stock until it looked right.

It looks the same as mine !

Strip the bike down ready to powder coat the frame and started work on the engine.

Hi pod70 Yes it is, the tank is a C15 BSA. You can read more about it in cafe racer projects.

Hope to take this, if I get it finished in time!

The problem with putting shocks on is the distance between the tyre and the seat unit, when going over a pot hole and theres loads of them in England its going to bottom out. I got a Triumph hard trail that I ride now and it's bloody great. The struts are rubber mounted, I know that's not going...

Work on the rear seat. Put lines from the tank into the seat unit

Hi, got this CB 750 about 4 months ago in mind of building something different. So work I have done so far, cut 35mm wedge from the back of the head stock to give more rake on the front forks, lost the rear stocks and hard trailed the rear end, lowered the whole bike until the pipes where 3"...
