It is the ignition switch. I jumped around it and it runs fine. ;D Thanks guys!

WOW! Thanks a lot Bert! That diagram is exactly what I needed. If I had that yesterday it wouldn't have taken but a second to figure it out. That will really help me clean everything up also.

I have considered that it may be in the ignition switch. Was working before but I have moved it to the rear under the cafe seat so it may very well have fallen apart inside while moving it around. I know the red wire feeds power to the ignition, does anyone know what wires coming out of the...

Hi all got a cafe build thread going on now also and all is going pretty well but ran in to a bit of a problem today though. My carb sync gauges came in so I hooked them up and was going to fire it up and get them synced up but its not firing now!!! :? Very annoying! I cant seem to figure out...

Was actually able to fix the seal and straiten the retainer on the bearing without messing anything up. Got most of the bike back together now. Got the forks put back together and got the proper amount of oil in them. Got front and rear wheels and tires mounted up. Got the clubman bars with all...

Just a lil update as to where its going guys, nothing pic worthy yet but have got the wheels cleaned up and got my shinko tires mounted and balanced. I did it myself making sure not to pinch the tubes and it went pretty easy then when I tried to air it up stupid tube was leaking so I must have...

Hi all, have a 76 cb750f t parts bike that I am starting to part out. I purchased the bike as is for parts but ended up only needing the fuel tank. So other than that everything is there. The story from the previous owner is that it was running fine up till 10 years ago and he let his son ride...

ell. Looking at ordering a lot more parts that I need to get these dude going and tires is my biggest decision right now. I was thinking of running Avon 90/90-19 front and 100/90-18 rear but im trying to build this thing on a budget and rafter reading a lot of good reviews about the Shinko 712...

After looking at what all is required and the cost of things I think I will stick with the factory cb550 stuff and just rebuild it as needed. Though I will probably end up going to the 2 disk brake set up with some drilled rotors when I do my complete tear down and rebuild this winter.

Removed both front and rear rims and broke the tire down off of them and being that the spokes are so rusty kinda makes be worry. I don't know anything about lacing up new spokes and places around here charge so much to do it! Wish I could afford it but thats not in the budget! So I was...

So basically my intentions with bike are to get in on the road within the next 2 months to see what I like and do and go ahead and get everything lined out they way that I will want it so that this coming winter after it is to cold to ride I will do a complete tear down and rebuild powdercoating...

Hi guys introduced myself here the other day as a new member and said I would make a build thread for my 75 cb550f that Im turning into a cafe bike. So Here it goes me best attempt. I picked the bike up just a couple weeks ago after finding it on craigslist The tags expired in the 80's and it...

Very clean looking 750! Im a new member here myself and just started doing a cafe conversion on a cb550. I am also from North Louisiana. Where about are you?

well i didnt get any info so I decided to make it work. My bench vice has ears the come off both sides that when in the closed position fit perfectly into the front mounting points on the cb750 tank. So I simply opened the vice to why the taps were inserted into the tank mounting points and...

Forgot to say it was a 77 cb750f that the tank is coming off of.

Hi guys, I have to bikes, 1 is a cb750 that is complete but has a broke rod and no title, and the other is a cb550 that has good engine and is title in my name but hasn't been ridden since the 80's. Anyway the cb550 tank is rusted up and no good but the cb750 tank is perfect. I tried to fit it...
