Yup! [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

oh yeah....and while in the engine found some deep rust pitting in one of the cylinders. Tried to hone it out, but it was too deep to keep within spec, so I got the cylinders rebored and got new pistons and rings from cruzinimage. 1 MM bore to 63 mm total The 1979 CB750 had problems with the...

Carb rebuild using Randakk kits. Very highly recommend. All vitron o rings and includes all air cut offs, and accelerator pump. Here is a great carb rebuild guide, such a great resource. Print it off and follow everything! Especially the part about clearing the slow air passage...

I found the air gun to not be accurate enough to check for leaks. After replacing pitted valves faces and lapping only the one that were leaking, I had installed all valves, springs and keepers, filled the combustion face wth water and I blew about 40psi air up in the ports and saw some bubbles...

Here is the front hub. New spokes, new bearings, retainers, seals. Threw in some before pictures. Some pretty bad rust to deal with. Lots of sanding.... Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Getting the rear hub painted and ready to get put back together. I used primer, semi gloss caliper paint, and a chemical resistant clear coat. I could have done a better job at taping. I will clean up some lines. I really debated powder coating parts or not. Especially rims....might regret...

Thanks Mr Naut. I will give it a try. Well a simple way to get out fork seals is just to add more extension for leverage. Came out easy breezy. It has been difficult trying to paint in a cold damp garage, but I got a system going that I think will work. Anyone got some tips beside hot water...

Do these pictures work better? I tried the do the ton app to post these pictures....had a hard time posting last night. They kept posting upside down. How do you post pictures in the post, in between sentences, instead of just at the bottom? Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Re: '79 CB750 K Well it is above 0c and I finally got my ass out to the garage. I have done a bit off work already on the bike that I will post about later, but today is fork day! Had some pretty bad rust on the top of the fork tubes, but not low enough to effect the seal area, thought...

Well it is frick'n cold in the garage and I don't really feel like handling cold metal pieces right now, so I thought I might as well start a build project. Yet another CB750 DOHC! Long live! My plan was originally to have this bike as a parts bike for my '79 CB750 LTD. Found it for a few...

Vitron all the way! The stock ones don't hold up very well to ethanol. Contact Genesound on the cb1100f forum....he has them on the cheap! $15 for 16 seals plus shipping from US He also has the upgraded cam holder bolts for cheap too there are lots of people who only use OEM gaskets. I heard...

I think you are on the right track to clean up inside the engine while you got it open. Compression is good yes, but the peace of mind checking everything out before you put the engine back in the frame is priceless. Plus new skills is great! Lapping some leaking valves is pretty easy with the...
