Hey there I have some K&Ns on my girl and I'd like it if they were much more red than the oil makes them. I have red spark plug wires, but the pale pink/light red color the pods filters are is hardly RED compared to the wires. I do have a RED crankcase breather filter. It comes from K&N...

Well, as I've seen from other posts here I guess this seems to happen from time to time. Tightened down the cylinder head cover bolt a little too tight in its helicoil and snapped it off. Started to drill it out with success. The pilot hole went nice and smooth. I put the extraction thingy...

Yes, totally and completely stripped. It was held in there with a very very large amount of gasket sealer. In fact, the entire cylinder head cover was held on with an intense amount of gasket sealer.. Seems the previous owner didn't want to but a new gasket, or hit a snag and used an ugly...

wtf is all this red gunk around the gasket seal? I'm thinking the previous owner didn't want to dish out the cash for a new gasket, so he just 'painted' it with gasket sealer or some ish? the new gasket is in the mail to me right now..

I realized yesterday while re assembling everything that the slide in my #1 carb is being a jerk. I noticed it wasn't lifting while cranking the throttle like the other 3. Reaching in there and pushing it up, it makes the sound like there is a little vacuum, but then it stays up. When I...

Any tricks or tips? This appears to be next in line, then a carb tune. I can't seem to figue out which kind of Tachometer to purchase. The manual says 'a tach with graduations of 50rpm.' Can someone post a link for this type of product?

Hey guys, 1981 CB750F I just did the RSC Carb mod and the pods are on and the leaky O rings in the carb were replaced. I have no fuel leaks anywhere, the throttle and choke cables are connected properly. I just can't get her started. She did fire up for about 10 seconds, then died, and I...

Hello from Chicago Bought a '81 CB750F on Memorial Day Weekend 2013. Only rode the bike one season before I decided I had to tear it apart and get some work done. New paint especially. A good friend of mine is a very talented airbrush artist. Currently we are going back and forth on if...

Hey Guys Been working on the bike all winter. Finally time to buy the pods. Its an '81 CB750F. Besides all the debate over whether its a good idea to put pods on a CV carb, lets just talk about the pods themselves. The ID of the airbox connectors to the carb is 50mm. So I know to make it...

Good evening from Chicago, Just got done doing this. Not quite as annoying as I thought it would be. Still took some adjustments though, so annoying enough, but not as bad as I thought it might be. The cover is still just a little off-center, I'm hoping a week or two of riding might...

Hey fellas Just removed the carburetor for the first time ever in my life. That was fun, took a lot of elbow grease. It looks to be in good shape which is nice. The guy who sold it to me last summer said he had just cleaned the carbs, I guess he wasn't lying.. Anyways, what do I do here now...

I was going to try and play with the CV carbs my 81 CB750F came with. After reading about it a ton I've decided against it. A friend told me to find a used Mikuni, so if it doesn't work, I can put the stock CV back on and keep riding. Is there a reference somewhere for which size Mikuni you...
