Topic: easy way to remove engine :) WARNING Explicit Honda Carnage

[78whiteorbs]

got a 100$ cb750 with no title, got her running pretty good-
picked up a titled frame of the same year. Didn't need the old frame and the engine weights more than I do so I got to thinking about how best to do the heart transplant.

here is some paint bling too.

Very sad and very wasteful.

Well, I could always weld in three feet of tubing and make it a are real 750-4 (capable of riding 4 up)
. Think , if you could ride a bike with three other people who would they be?

[lucky]

All you would have had to do is:
Remove the oil filter housing.
Remove the vent cap on the valve cover.
Lay the bike on its right side on a blanket or sleeping bag.
Remove the engine mount bolts and lift the frame off of the engine.

Anyone on this forum could have told you.

Well, it's over now.

I waste nothing Lucky! I will weld it into art ( recycle  it like the tank says always preserve nature)
Really the frame was useless , numbers were trash and one of one of the shock mounts was "improvised" as the original was mangled.
Lucky how come you are so down< negative? Does somebody need a hug?

Anything you can sawzall apart, you can weld back  together,

[78whiteorbs]

you know I thought about it ....
Do to the extreme rareness of the sohc4 frames ,especially ones that have impossible to register VIN#'s
shame on me and my ignorant wasteful self. There I said it guys. I actually did research for quite a while on how to best remove the engine and if the frame had any value what so ever and I could lift two hundred plus pounds of front end and wheels and frame by myself....I might have saved the frame intact so it could take up more space in my hoard of junk.

[78whiteorbs]

by the way I did just weld this back in from a chopped Cb750F

does that cancel out ?

LOL well I think it's hilarious.

+1.  I would have never done that.

WHY! WHY! WHY! would a good and decent God let this happen!!...they only made a million of these things, stop the hand wringing, it's a frame.

[Xnavylfr]

It's only BROKEN if it CAN'T be repaired!!!!   Most of us CHOPPER heads start out with only HALF M/Cs and go from there.
I do have to ask, why would you weld back in solid horizontal frame tubes and NOT make the removable???  The first time you have to do some cam or top end work you'll ask yourself the same question!!

I have a masters degree in sculpture, so that idea about making the frame into art
is doubtful.

Picture the upper half of the frame sticking out of the ground with the forks attached horizontal to the ground and a mail box mounted  the forks

Around our neck of the woods the road commission get a little agitated about certain types of mailbox mounting systems. They want them to collapse easily so as to cause less damage if they get hit.

[FrankenFrankenstuff]

I think its great! Could you please do another cut and trace a contour for me? This surgery will save future 750 frames from cutting. Details...... in a bit.

Lucky - "art is the creating of something useless" - Andy Warhol ...so the frame is already art.

I make mine so damn tough they tare the crap out of the car of the dumb ass driver like I care about his car

I don't understand the uproar.  If it is because it may make the frame weaker, sure.  But it looks like he did a fine job welding it back together.  Did you shorten the frame or extend it or is it basically exactly the same?  If the bike was a POS in the first place, who gives a #$%*.

[vames]

Forget all the uproar about trashing a frame -- I seriously doubt that chopping the frame is in any way the easiest way to get an engine out. Kinda like kicking in and destroying an unlocked door when you could have just turned the knob and opened it.

As was mentioned earlier, you could tilt the thing on its side and have the engine out faster than you can install a sawzall blade and start cutting. Not to mention that you'd then have to unbolt the engine.

If you couldn't lift the engine out of the frame, how'd you lift it onto that couch cushion?

[madmtnmotors]

Without a title the frame was junk before it was cut... 

[Ricky_Racer]

Looks like a good opportunity to make a dual-engined CB750!    RR

[70CB750]

I couldn't, I am softy.

Arts utilitary function may not be there, but it can inspire us, so it is not useless.
Andy Warhol was trying to get attention. He was good at that.
