Parts Q&A's and Feedback. / Red grip
« on: May 21, 2016, 11:03:34 am »
I have three different red tool grip
One with bigger HM logo, slightly shorter and more bulky
Two with the smaller HM logo thereof one with Vessel logo on the backside.
No idea which one came from which bike.
Any thought on this, until which VIN did red grip come?

Restoration of 1983 / Bringing 1983 / 2005 back to live
« on: May 18, 2016, 01:06:07 pm »
The other day I found # 1983 more or less by accident here in Germany.
An older man was offering parts on local eBay and when phoning with him I learned, he has a barn full of parts and bikes.
This particular bike was imported from the States in Feb. 1993 and not touched since then.
I got some pics from that SC resto bike via e-mail and after some difficult negotiations we agreed on a price.Before that I had some mails with Steve to get confirmation on the VIN and engine numbers to ensure, that everything is OK here.
Again, many thanks for your help, Steve.
So the bike finally is here and I started stripping here down and cleaning parts.
disclaimer:
The benchmark for restoration is extremely high here in this great forum. As to others, those fantastic resto documentations are the "bible" for me.
So I am sure I cant close up to that in any way.
In real live, I am no mechanic and even dont have an adequate workshop. In one word: I am a tax consultant.

I need new "thin version" throttle cables for "28" carbs.
Where may I find them, will the later version of the cables fit or do I have to make some on my own?
Thanks for any advice!

Did you ever come across duplex final chains on CB750fours?
Was that a factory option or a common after sale modification in those days?

Brakes / Brake rotor finish
« on: October 09, 2014, 11:52:41 am »
Hello,
I´ve got a KO brake rotor and think about making it nicer looking.
What color should I use for the inner (1) and outer (2) part?
(or keep the "patina" and keep it as it wont become better?)
