1982 CB750SC project

[HellSoldyr]

Bought this thing for $200 a little while ago, turns over but doesn't run, gonna do something with it, have an idea of something inspired by the Formula1 Ayrton Senna 1986 JPS Lotus, not sure how it's gonna turn out tho lol.

This is my first build, any help or advice is welcome.

Wasting no time getting that engine out - took me months so you got me beat right out the blocks. I like these bikes, your plan sounds solid too. I’ll be watching

Thanks, I'd say don't expect too much anytime soon, all the parts I bought are gonna take about a month to get here with the rona running around.

anyone have experience or use shocks from 4into1? or should i just got tec or hagon..

I've used 4into1 stuff but not shocks. I do have a set of Hagons I got from DCC and they are very nice for the $$$. I'd recommend them for sure.

I put a Hagon shock on my TL100R and it was like night and day different. I agree they are $$$.

 

[Jimbonaut]

I have TEC shocks on my CB, can't tell you much about them as I haven't ridden the bike yet, but they sure look purdy and the build quality is great

Whoops! Sorry, I meant to say I put an Ohlin on my TL100R and it made a big difference.

Ohlins are nice and they have the color i want but, that price though.

DCC doesn't have the Hagons for your bike and Ebay they are all in Europe. Being UK made shocks that makes sense but I figured a US seller would have some?

yeah I've been checking around for who has them, cognitomoto has some shocks but they look very similar to the 4in1 ones.

try CL MOTOTECH https://chrislivengood.net/clmototech/. i have some on my '82 cb650sc, basically the same frame and fork, great shocks. I raised the rear about an inch, very happy with how the bike tracks.

Ooh i love the look of the black and gold ones, i think those are going to be the ones

 

[HellSoldyr]

I was digging through all my parts and things I have for the bike, i have no use for these, I like the exahsut but probably going for a 4-2 or 4-1 setup. Are these worth anything? Or is anyone interested in any of these?

 

[CarbsAndCylinders]

You might be able to use those foot pegs yourself, if
you are going to make your own rearsets.

If it was me (and it isn't), I would keep the pipes if they are in descent shape. I think those 4-4 pipes are the best looking ones Honda ever used. I also really like the Nighthawk body work and hate the paint. A really nice paint job on the stock bodywork and the stock pipes are what I would build around.

 

[Jimbonaut]

Agree on the pipes. I really like the 4into4 exhaust

after moving states and three years of this thing sitting in the corner of three different garages i've finally got around to seriously working on it, pulled everything out of the crate it was in and started putting it back together, welded, painted and mounted.

front and rear suspension mounted

4into1 exhaust on, gauges mounted, i lost the original fuse box cover so i 3d printed one to use for now, started on the wiring but i didn't take any pictures, also decided not to use the aftermarket controls and just reconditioned the original ones and they work perfectly
