Congrats on the steal you got on your bike,it's a beauty.I didn't do quite as well, but here is my 81 750C.I got it from a widows garage, the last tags on it were 1991.It had 9100 miles when I got it in 2005.I cleaned the carbs ,tank,changed plugs, battery,oil,and filters.It presently has 16000 miles on it and is going strong. I paid $500 for it.P8010248.JPG

If you have the original plug socket that came with the bike the number two plug is just as easy to get at as the rest. if course there is the slight but possible reason you cant get it out as it has been cross threaded. Apart from that being the only cause it should come out as easy as falling off a log. Just check that no foreign objects have fallen between the plug and the cylinder head thats preventing you from getting the plug socket onto it

Number 2 should be not different than the others. 2 and 3 are angled slightly to the center as 1 and 4 are angled slightly outward. Make sure someone didn't leave a washer or such on the plug. It helps to use a small mirror and flashlight to take a look. Who knows, maybe somebody put a longer plug in and your socket is not deep enough. I've seen stranger things happen.

Ok, so i Just picked up a 1978 CB750k that looks to be in remarkable shape. I don't know if that remark is good or bad yet, but I will let you know. I do have a question about this bike that I can't seem to find an answer to. Simple question though.. What the hell is up with the number 2 spark plug. The bike has NGK D8EA plugs. I can remove #1, #3, #4 no problem, but I can't get the wrench to seat on the #2 plug. It seems that the head bolt is in the way. Does this seem right to you guys or am I missing something totally obvious?

Dunno....Recently missed a whole 750F front end (clamps, wheel, brakes, mast cyl, forks, etc) on e bay for $125. Let me know what you want out of it. Think this will work with my spoked "K" wheel?

Re: 1978 Honda CB 750K rejetting the carbs

2008-10-07T17:39:18Z

I actually took mine out of a 1975 750 K. The older models came from the factory with adjustable needles. Mine is a 78 750 K. It came factory with 110 main jets. After stepping the jet size up, it seemed to run worse with my pod filters on. I used the 105 jets out of the 75 with the adjustable needles and I found the right combination. I believe Honda still sells those needles.

Are you the one that sent me the email on the case savers?

2008-10-07T15:13:51Z

750C didn't have rear disc,only 900-1000C.Ive got everything for the front,whats it worth?

Re: 1978 Honda CB 750K rejetting the carbs

2008-10-07T11:47:13Z

The key there is in fact the needle...Were those from a K&N jet kit? Wish you could just buy the friggin needle or if someone has cross referenced the part number to a std Keihin number???

Re: 1978 Honda CB 750K rejetting the carbs

2008-10-07T11:45:09Z

Factory jetting is nominal, and for factory equipped stuff. Change things around and it needs altered. IMO, they all need altered to be perfect for your environment(air desnsity)....For this bike, I don't care, just ride with factory stuff on it. If I was serious, the first thing I'd do is swap the carbs out for something else.

Will take whole front/rear brake system (dual fr disc/disk rear)....If available...

Got ya, thanks. My neighbor has a real nice '78 750 automatic that he had some parts chromed here in Charlotte. I'll probably get mine done this winter while I'm riding my Wing.

VERY nice machines all of you! I'm feeling like I got ripped off but really wanted an old CB 750 to play with. I'll post pics when I can figure out how to shrink the files. Rod Knockin, would you be interrested in selling your extra fender? Mine has some pits and needs rechromed, otherwise, no dents on it. Paul

Do you have crash bars/engine guard/case saver? please please i hope i hope i hope tanks Doug

Re: Engine chrome parts

2008-10-06T05:47:56Z

Thanks, I'll take a look there. The previous owner hit something on the front top of the stator cover and put JB Weld on to fill it. It does not leak but looks like crap.

Re: Engine chrome parts

2008-10-06T05:30:51Z

Directlinehonda, I will see what they have. Check out cyclexchange.net They may have something you may need and are worth the look.

Re: Engine chrome parts

2008-10-06T05:02:19Z

I got a new OEM chrome point cover from Directlinehonda for less than $35 on my '75. Next thing is I need a new stator cover. They are $195 so will wait till spring for that one. I'm new to this forum and looks like a lot of 750 Gurus here. I've got a couple issues I will post shortly. Paul

The pipes were garbage.

Re: Parting out 1981 CB750C

2008-10-05T16:44:35Z

How are the pipes? I've got a 81 750C, the mufflers are rusting out where they meet the head pipes.If you have the 4 into 4 exhaust in good shape I would be interested.

Re: 79-82 Tank for sale,used but nice.

2008-10-05T00:12:38Z

Im not throwing the nice tank away.Ive got some pictures if somebody wants to send me an email.Ive got several people that want it so Ill go down the line.My email is z51mo@aol.com

Re: 79-82 Tank for sale,used but nice.

2008-10-05T00:07:30Z

This tank is used.All 79-82 tanks were the same with the exception of the petcock.Ill shipe this anywhere as long as somebody else is paying the bill.An example on shipping,one of the N.O.S. tanks I have came from England,shipping was over $200.Ive got some picture just cant post them.

Re: 79-82 Tank for sale,used but nice.

2008-10-04T20:31:32Z

meant to say that the colour is not a problem as mine is Candy Muse Red and I have the paint code for it and the necessay pin striping for the entire bike. As its 11.30 am in Perth Western Australia, weare going out for the rest of the day, so when you have a moment and can dig it out and get a couple of photos that will be just fine . No rush. Can wait until tomorrow ot whenever you are able to get to it. Be a shame to throw it out as they are impossible to get anywhere in the world.

Re: 79-82 Tank for sale,used but nice.

2008-10-04T20:29:46Z

I need to see the shape of the tank to see if its identical to mine. If it hasnt been used, and there is no rust in it ( mine has rust and is leaking ) then seriously I could be very interested in buying it off you. I am in Australia - does that pose a problem ?????????

Re: 79-82 Tank for sale,used but nice.

2008-10-04T20:21:07Z

The tank is brown,I think its an 80.I dont have any pictures and the thing is buried in the garage.If your serious about buying it I will dig it out.This tank is nice,no dents,dings.

Re: New gas tank,79-82 750K

2008-10-04T19:58:07Z

Would like to see a photo of the tank to see if it is the same as the one on my CB750K Colour doesnt really matter as dent can be removed. Thanks

Re: 79-82 Tank for sale,used but nice.

2008-10-04T19:55:47Z

Is it possible to upload a photo of it. What colour is the tank ????? Thanks
