Piston rings CB750 F2
« on: January 11, 2013, 05:20:35 AM »
Hi,

Are piston rings different on F2 then on other models? Where can I find these piston rings in USA?

Thank you!

you want the rings for the  later half 76 750F.  they are the same rings with the 392 in the middle of the part number.

There are the same for the F1/F2 I believe.

They can be very difficult to find. I know there was a group buy awhile ago for some custom made rings, but that has long since past. I'm not sure if there are any good sources for these currently.

Yes the F2/F3 rings are unique to those bikes. Honda does not make them anymore and they are hard to find. Time for a 836 kit!

I've been keeping an eye out for a set for an F3. This is the only place I have found:
http://metric-cycle-parts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=9&zenid=df218cddaeb6d765abc1f7e71c51323f

I have no experience with this vendor and I'll need to do more looking into it before I buy them. I have seen comments on here to beware of one-size fits all claims for 750F pistons.

VERY late 1976 F1 ONLY.

Someone (Stu?) very recently mentioned they ARE available from Honda now. Being the skeptic I am and knowing that Honda has NOT been supplying , I checked the online Honda sources and it DOES APPEAR that they MAY be available!!

Get the part number and ask your honda dealer to order for you or order online and get a discount from places like www.servicehonda.com 
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
