| Thought i would post some pictures of what i have been up to with the build. It's all at the cleaning stage at the moment, Forks have been rebuilt, and the clocks are on the go. Found some Modern Tokico calipers from a Bandit but will require new mount's to be machined.(dont make things easy for myself) Just aquired an amazing set of cylinders and pistons, as over size pistons are like rocking horse sugar and cost a fortune! (100 quid each) Carbs have been repalced with later model and refurbed. Enough drivell here's some pic's https://s818.photobucket.com/albums/zz108/15central/CB750/ | |

| Cylinder head now done, Rang David Silvers for a price on the valve guides,(they don't really need replacing, but thought while its off). Any they told me that they are special order and will cost £14. Thought i would have a set, until they informed me that it was £14 each. JESUS. Needless to say i did not purchase them.
Seems to me that new spares for the CB750KZ are very costly and in some cases very difficult to get hold of.
Don't even try and get oversize piston's and rings, that will set you back the best part of £500. plus rebore and hone.
So CB750 Builders beware!!!!!!! Make sure the engine is a good one to start with.
I will post some pictures soon. Photobucket seems to take ages. | |

I bought a set of hand-turned velocity stacks off Steel Dragon Performance http://www.steeldragonperformance.com/contact_us_3.html, they are based in Deer Falls in the wilds of Michigan, yet the stacks only cost me 85 quid, delivered in about 10 working days, they do a choice of 4 styles, couldn't even find stacks in the UK, they also do an after market air box for $125, which is about 80 quid plus postage, David Silver say the air box is no longer available. Also if you haven't seen him check out Steve Carpenter's site at http://www.cb750cafe.com does some nice bolt-ons, and has links to lots of other CB750 oriented sites. | |
