How does that gauge work? Does this allow you to sync the carbs?

Nice survivor Chip! I always love to see these early cb750’s back on the road! When you get a chance could you please post more pictures of your early bike. Like Kp said, you will have some of the rarest parts on your bike due to its early vin. Also what is the number on your other Sandcast? Congrats and welcome.

Dan, Can you please post a picture of the frame and engine numbers as well as the whole bike? The engine number you posted is probably and "E" and not an "F". Sometimes the stamp becomes a little faded. The true test for a Sandcast engine is a 9 bolt clutch cover.

Hi Joe, i think you will be satisfied with the yamiya seat. One option that i have been doing is to use the seat from yamiya and when i get a chance to restore the original one, I can replace the yamiya seat and use it on the next CB750. This way you can enjoy your bike at the same time.

Welcome Paul. Can you post a few pictures of your sandcast? We love pics on this site especially these early sandcasts which have some of the rarest parts of all.
Thanks

Do you think he would get his asking price on Bring a Trailer? I have seen high prices for early CB750's. My buddy sold a K1 on there for $30,000 +

I'm not sure on the price. I think the most I've seen for a frame was about $4000. I think $7000 would be a good price if the engine was included.

General Discussion / Unique petcock from SC#81
« on: November 19, 2021, 04:22:41 pm »
Here are a few pics of the petcock from SC#81. I wanted to ask the group if anyone has seen this type of petcock. It is very similar to the short neck on my SC#1138. The only other petcock similar to this one was the petcock on the blue/green prototype. Thoughts?

Hi Spaarkie, Are you looking for the original pipes for your sandcast? I know yamiya sells a set of reproduction no number stamp HM300's

Thanks Kp for the information. This site has been my go to for information regarding sandcasts in general. I have 2 sandcasts that I built out starting from finding and engine and the proper frame. I built those to resemble the two prototype CB750's in Valley Green and in the Brighton prototype colors. These two projects were mainly put together from original parts that I found and parts from yamiya. With #63 and #633 however are mostly complete bikes with original frame and engine. I will do a proper restoration and make these two in the ruby red and blue /green production colors.

This Thursday I finally got delivery of my first and probably only 2 number sandcast. I bought this bike almost 6 months ago and finally got delivery 3 days ago. It's not easy importing a bike from Mexico for some reason but Sam (Ujeni) had recommended his Customs Borker, Monique, and she was fantastic. From the start of the process, she assured me that I would get my bike and she kept good on her promise. I highly recommend her if you are thinking of importing a motorcycle into the US.
I got to go over the bike this weekend and the bones of the bike are solid but it is missing a few key parts including a 19 liter tank, recessed ignition switch, hand controls, side covers, early master cylinder, two hole airbox, , and a few other parts that i'm probably forgetting. I have a few of these parts from other bikes i have collected such as the recessed ignition switch and early master cylinder but I will need to find the other parts which I think is a fun but often frustrating part of this hobby.
I plan to restore this bike, but will do so once I determine my plan of action and secure the necessary funds. I'll post pics once i figure out how to,
