Hmmmmm, I'm thinking I might need to replace my white led gauge bulbs with red ones. Looks awesome and mean.

Re: 1977 cb750f2 Shocks are in!
Today I was able to sneak away and spend some time on the bike. I installed my Works rear shocks and the GL1000 pre load adjusters Voxonda made up for my, Thanks! I picked up a hella H4 headlight conversion so I can run a brighter headlight and ditch the sealed beam. I also swapped out my oil lines for some stainless ones I had made by a local shop for only $40! Thanks BWJ for the heads up. Had some powdercoat done to in gloss black to my gauges, controls and levers. Now I am just waiting for my head to return from A.P.E. so I can finish up the bike before the weather gets better.

For other cb750 guys/gals who don't follow the other forum. Variances in different pipe fitment, FYI
Ok, so I loved the motogpwerks stainless pipe because; 1. Its stainless 2. the smooth bends looked great. The problem was the fit on my F bike (taller oil cooler/filter) would hit the pipe because of lack of clearance. So if I ran this pipe I would have to remove the pipes each time I wanted to change the oil. This would not be a problem on a K bike because K's do not have the additional puck under the filter housing added to F bikes for extra cooling.
So I picked up the next best option, IMO, for a 4-1 besides running a Kerker. The fitment issue was driving me crazy so I broke down and got a Yamiya (model - 70mm-L size). Not 100% sure about the difference in the pipes yamiya sells but I believe the 70mm L pipe has a larger circumference muffler tube and looks to be longer than the yamiya pipes sold on ebay. I ordered the pipe directly from yamiya from the website and got a little price break versus ebay. The pipe was at my door in less than one week (I was shocked because of the unfortunate disaster). Finish on the pipe is great and I could not be happier, unless it was stainless. I am not too stoked on the welded bends, but I would rather have a pipe that fits better than have smooth bends, and I am sure performance difference is negligible. Also I love the look of the swan neck bends from the head to the collector.
Here are some pics for comparison.

Re: 77 cb750f2 "secret ninja" Pipes
Head came back from A.P.E. today. Complete head job, Stainless valves, HD springs with Ti retainers. Thanks to Jay and the guys at APE for taking the time to make it right! I am going to a hotter cam, megacycle 125-65. Now I have to clay the pistons to check clearance and degree in the cam. Really not looking forward to building the topo end just to tear it down but will be worth it in the long run to make sure I have no clearance issues with the bigger cam and high compression pistons. I am also really impressed with the VHT engine paint I had on the head. All this work was done to the head and very little touch up is needed.

Re: 77 cb750f2 Headwork's done
The bike is almost back together. I tried out the Megacycle cam in my bike but just not enough piston to valve clearance for me to comfortable. I really want this bike to be a reliable rider. So instead I just degreed in my old Webcam and will live with it. First time trying to degree a cam was a treat.
The Yamiya pipe went on like a glove. Although I still like the looks of the MotoGP pipe, this pipe will allow me to run my oil cooler. I should be able to fire it back up tomorrow and sync the carbs and be ready to go.
