Ok, No one bid on those pipes that were recently listed from fayetville NC and I'm wondering why?  I'm in contact with the guy and if he desn't sell them before I get the funds I'll probably end up buying them.  In the pictures they look very nice save the two minor scratches.  He reports that they have blemishes in the chrome but no pits or rust.  They are no # pipes with the relief in the #1 pipe and no baffles for $1100.00 plus $80.00 shiping.  My sandcast is #5640 so I'm thinking the relief is ok plus I saved my baffles from my rotted no # pipes.  Any coments or concerns would be appretiated or even help from a member neer Fayetville wiling to authenticate.  Thanks so much, Chris.

Ok, I'm getting of topic again but I can't help it.  If ever their was a colector bike that should be mentioned on any web site this is it.  Hope the seller gets gobs of $$$ for it.   

Just wondering if anyone knows when the 9 hole clutch covers made the change from having a thin profile under the cable adjuster nut to a thicker profile.  I've seen these two different types now and thier could be more but this seems to be a pretty significant change.  The thin type came from an engine in the low 2000 vin range and the thicker type came from engines 5667 and 5690. Checked my part # guide that includes the cb750 through K1 but no change was specified untill 7414.  Only cover I still have is on engine 5667 so I'll try to get a picture up of that one with the area I'm talking about pointed out. 

Chris.     

I'm parting out a sandcast engine in the low 2000 range.  The case and clutch cover are already sold so that's why I'm not including the last three digits of the motor.  I have the original cam and cam holders, head, block, gears, gear cover, oil pan, crank, kick starter, starter, stator, exhaust spigots, and #8 bolts galore.

The block is at my machine shop right now getting fitted with .75 over honda 300 pistons and it has one fin that has less than a dime size chunk broken off.
The head was inspected and the valves look possibly serviceable but new valves and seals are in order.   Oh yea, NO BROKEN FINS AT ALL.
The gear cover is chrome plated so you'll have to have a chrome shop remove the chrome. 

I'm not offering these parts here for money unless you rea$$y want them $ad you can make me an offer. 
Insead I'll trade for a compleet set of no# pipes, new condition repop or restorable with no rot and very small dents.
NICE restored sandcast drive gear guages.
CORRECT restored seat, not just a cheap ebay re-cover.
Feel free to tell me about other parts that you may want to temp me with.
If you are serious call me at 410 371-2938

A while back I found a perm a poxy product that worked very well on the white plastic that Honda used on our bikes in 69. It dissapeared or so I thought untill I recently purchased their plastic weld two part in the black tube. Bingo..... just like the stuff I used a few years back. Dries almost the same white and holds super strong. Why they put it in a black tube to trick me into not buying it for a couple of years I don't know?

I'm wondering what years I can get handlebars off of? I would prefer to go by part # but If I see a set of 73,74,75,76, and so on bars would they be the same?

My cb750/cb750k1 parts list is coming in the mail now but it won't tell me if later models have the same bars.

I meantioned this on SOHC4 a while back. As many of us know these bikes were a favorite to make a chopper out of in the 70's. I found a guy here in Cheyenne that has been chopping bikes since then. He let me poke around in his shed, and I left with A side cover +emblem, complete head light including signals, rear rim, four signal lenses, rear brake light lense, and a few other bits for $40.00.

If you have a chopper builder in your area that has been doing it since way back you should make friends with him. You'll be surprized what he's got just stuck in a milk crate. They like to take those pesky original parts off, and replace them with "custom looking parts". Rumage it now before he takes it to the dump this spring.

I know the discustion of my spokes was almost too much to bear, but where should I take my rims for chrome plating? I would preffer some place in Ft. Collins or atleast not down in Denver.

I'll need them to be stripped and re-chromed. Is polishing necessary if they are not pitted before striping? Or does the striping process etch them and in turn require polishing.
