this is the bike I always come back to, it does everything a motorcycle should, and it's comfortable.

stock press in vs. Keihin Pilot Jet N424-21..... Body and length are the same, so should be pretty straight forward..... Machine off the threads and the lip, then turn steps for the press fit.

SHORTENED to save space.

I really like the bike and the paint but the exhaust makes no sense.
Racing motorcycles have exhausts that are business like and straight forward, not fancy and  styled out.

I hate carburetors....

That is because you do not understand carbs.

You would rather plug in a lap top to tune them, but when a part is broken it will cost hundreds of dollars.

You would rather deal with fuel pumps, returns,pressure regulators, Mass air flow sensors, and other sensitive expensive sensors,hoses ,wires switches,black boxes,
more black boxes to keep tabs on other black boxes and computer programs that cost hundreds of dollars.


So much better than grabbing a wrench and looking at it. That takes physical effort.

If it is digital it must be right huh????
Just think of all the airliner crashes caused because the pilots believed the computer digital info instead of their instincts.

Even when pilots knew the plane was too low they did what the computer said.

All those grocery carts filled with computer junk and the scrap yards.

But the CB750 is 33 years old with carbs and still going strong.


When a corporation lost all of its computer records, I just pulled out my $1.33 spiral notebook and could tell them which unit a customer purchased.
They did not laugh at my spiral note book anymore after that.


I like old reliable methods.

Like a jet with a hole drilled in it for fuel delivery.

Incidentally, Mtmooradian, you probably know this, but you can delete dumb or offensive posts from threads you started.

Just sayin'. ;)

FWIW, I'm not a shill for Race Tech - I've just got a thing for good suspension and the RTCE's are the most cost-effective mod for these old damping rod front ends.

I think it's kind of ironic that Lucky sent that anti-computer rant using a computer, and not by "snail mail", using a page from his spiral friggin' notebook! Oh, and Lucky, the CB750 is 43 years old, not 33, was that a "computer glitch", or are you just really bad at math? Maybe you need a calculator?  ::)
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

In threads you start yourself, you'll see a "Delete" button at the top-right of each post, to the right of the "Quote" button.

Holy #$%*.... Phones been dead all day...
First.... I've had my fair share of working on carbs.....
Second... Lucky... Your a tool...
Every post I've seen from you has been almost utter bull#$%*.... From the "don't weld on tanks that have had oil in them or they'll blow up the county", to the "mig welding wasnt around when the cb was built... They're stick welded".... I hate carbs because I've been waiting on parts for a week you asshat.... I love the idea of carbs, just a pain in ass sometimes.... Do I wish my ducs had them, hell no!! .... You want hard.... Tune these
80mm ITB setup from a le mans car.... I have to get these to idle.... Go thru lines of code and readings to sync them....You come over here and show me how smart you are! Hook up a computer..... If it was that easy.....

I can only repeat myself - not sure whether it has any impact or not, but anyways its: F%^&ing  drop dead awesome man.
I just had to put that there first before I thank you for this very educational thread - I even learnt that some laptop does not help with carburettors - thanks for that - who would have thought?  lol, some ppl ay...

I read with great pleasure Mtmooradian's response - hence my reply - still have water in my eyes laughin'. Had actually trouble typin' this... stop it guys you're killin' me.

Haha, I agree with the comments about Lucky!  3500 posts and I've never seen one that's reallypositive!  And he is the master of quoting OLD posts in a thread!  Screw him!

Anyways, everthings looking good!  If you could, post a decent video or audio clip so we can hear that exhaust on the road!
