CB750K4

Customers CB750K4

This 1974 CB750 has been a long term project. Bike was presented running, but after a cylinder compression test we found number two cylinder well down on compression.

Motor top end has been removed and we have inspected and measured all bores and have carried out honing on all pots. Cylinder head is in good condition including valve guides, however we have down a valve grind and replaced all valve guide seals.

Two of the cylinder inlet ports were cracked so they were removed and new ports have been turned up on the lathe and cemented back into the cylinder head. Once the cement dried we carried out a fine port and polish.

Front forks were rusted into steering head, so we have refurbished both forks. New inner tubes, new triple lipped oil seals and fork oil. The forks have been slightly modified to suit the customers weight and riding style.

New Inner Tubes

Lower outer fork legs sanded and polished



Fork oil weight and height modified for customer



Lower fork axle caps checked for cracks

 

The outer lower fork legs have been sanded and polished.

Honda CB750K2 - Start of restoration
We have decided to restore this motorcycle back to its original factory condition, well nearly. Initially we were going to "café race" it but the bike is in excellent condition, so why not spend the extra time and money returning it back to its glorious factory condition.

 

So Far the fuel tank and side covers have been stripped of all paint cleaned and painted back to the original colour scheme. Fuel tank internally has been completely cleaned and rust proofed. New reproduction badges for the tank and side covers have been installed.

Ignition system has been improved. We have removed the old decaying coils and ignition spark plug leads as well as the points. In is place we have Dyna S electronic pickup and Dynatek 3 ohm coils matched perfectly with leads and end caps. Set the ignition timing and never have to touch again. Switch on the ignition key, small amount of chock, hit the starter button and instant start - love it.

The air box baffles have been replaced as well as a new air filter.
