Honda CB750K2

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.

To come:

  • Refurbish front forks
  • Replace front brake master cylinder with reproduction item
  • Renew rear fender
  • Renew all indicators and stalks
  • New headlight body
  • New instrument light panel
  • Refurbish Speedo and Tacho
  • Refurbish carbies. Update all internals
  • Replace rear shocks with up market units
  • Polish all engine covers
  • Replace handlebars
and much more..................
