I guess if you flap your arms and scream real loudly at the top of your lungs forever that you are the 'WORLD'S #1 EXPERT' at whatever I guess someone will believe you eventually. The problem is by linking to his site we up his google rating.

Michael Jackson was labeled the "King of Pop" only because his publicists said so.

As for this guy... if he is a member here then he's right...
He has the knowledge of all of us...
But then that also means every other member here is #1 too :)
Nothing wrong with that imho .. lol

And I am sure this guy knows more about CB750's than I do because I don't know much.
A little humility might be in order here though. When you go crowing about how much you know only sets you up to be knocked down a notch or two.

  • Bike almost back to the 70's 2015
It's very good with the huge interest in CB750 bikes! :D  More experts is OK!! I like the experts here, especially when they tell their nice stories from the old days mixed with SOHC facts.

Huge CB750 interest will end up in NEW parts to our old CB750's. (Not only NOS parts sometimes very cheap, sometimes very expensive)
I hope new tanks with OEM paint+stripes will be made in low cost country and sold for max $500US.

Finally I could work with my bike last weekend. The frame is now stripped off and ready for sandblast and new paint.

Only one small problem. I saw some parts that I do not want to bolt on again and have therefore searched on internet and found what I need at http://www.vintagecb750.com/
They have got a number of more parts since last summer!!! So my list became rather long of all small new parts I want to purchase. Want this and this and this....... over $600US found today + shipping and + 29% tax.

It started with new Handlebar Switches that must be replaced and found new for not that much. I destroyed mine 33 years ago... new handlebar without hole for the cables.... grinded bigger holes so cable could be routed outside the handle bar... Horrible!! Soo close a short circuit....

I'll drill holes in my new clubman and route the cables properly... I have to check my list again and see if there is something old I can reuse like the complete harness loom. Like new fresh parts... :D

Overall it’s a decent site for a general overview of the CB750. Nobody is perfect, but it looks like the Honda750.com expert missed a few of the 750 production colors:

K1 – Candy blue/green

K2 - Silver metallic custom
       Astro purple metallic

K4 – Armor silver metallic
        Sunrise flake orange
      *Candy gold is not a K4 color, as listed on the Honda750.com site*

K6 – Candy sapphire blue
        Sunrise flake orange
