Topic: Got the '75 750F Turbo tonight! Some pics and stuff.

[Tim.]

Got the turbo tonight.  In the garage, along with the '76 550F also in Sunrise Orange.

It came with a second set of clubmans, which are made for Honda internal wiring from the factory!  Check out the welds - that's vintage quality stuff in my book.  Also of course the Rickman fairing, and the original packing documentation from the Martek 440 electronic ignition.  Oh, and a Clymer manual as well.

It's pretty nice all things considered.  Needs a complete once-over of course.  Haven't popped off the air cleaner yet to see what kind of carb I'm dealing with, and need to get close up to the Turbo to see what model of Rajay it is.

Some pics.

Sweet !
That thing is gonna be killer once u are dont with it.
Little things like moving the fuel pump so it is out of sight will really make that bike trick.

Remember , Big blow-off valve and a SHORT downpipe !

that thing is awsome! wanna sell it?

[MRieck]

Somebody chime in...is that an F2 engine? The carb boots say it is.

[Tim.]

Engine serial is CB750E-2505813 and frame 1005686 so it seems to be '75 all around, albeit what seems to be a very late '75 engine and early frame - made 2/75.

Also found out why there was a very, very neat cutout on the fuel tank flip - it's to clear the boost gauge.  Very nice neat minimal cutout - bars have to be turned to the left to let the lid clear the boost gauge.

Popped off the air filter - still no idea what carb it is - need to remove the filter backing plate.  Seems to be imperial size bolts, which considering the turbo kit is American, shouldn't be a surprise I guess.  When I twist the throttle, a squirt of fuel is injected into the carb - is this typical for 750's?  I've only ever riddin my 500/550's at all so am unfamiliar with 750 bits.

Also found the original tool kit under the seat - complete

I can tell ya if the carb is squirting fuel - it is all messed up.
Shoot me a PM with your price and I will buy that heap from ya 

(Jut kidding - wicked bike. I am so jealous...)

[Tim.]

I suppose it would kill you to learn that I paid less than $0.75 / cc for the bike delivered to my garage  ?

[cben750f0]

the carb is probably a bendix......

peace

Aside fromt the exhaust manifold and the muffler from the turbo, the rest looks dead-on.  Where'd you find the page?

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

I see the bike parts in the house but not the wife !! Did you sneak it in or did she get pissed and bail? Hopefully she'll be appreciative that you bought her a bike.      Sometimes they just don't get it ?!

Don't you think the turbo would look better in blue??

[cben750f0]

i have a mag article from way back that it came from.
should be in the articles, section of the forum....peace

Less than .75c/cc that is a blatant rip off - seller should have given it to you, imagine all the horrible times you are going to have riding it, and giving the finger to all the crotch rockets and harleys you pass...

[Tim.]

The seller trailered it for 1.5 hours to my place and then turned around for another 1.5 hour trip home.  Great guy obviously.  Came through rush hour Toronto traffic to boot.

Looking forward to tinkering with it, but first I need to finish the 550.

[maksuttt]

Great deal:) Just a stupid question: why did previous owner sell it? BTW, if you need technical help - any time:) (just want to see it closer:)

[750goes]

Un "F^%$#@!G" beleivable you got such a bike and for F all money AND DELIVERY...

somebody pinch me I'm dreaming........ what a great find......hope you remain lifelong freinds with the guy who sold it to you....he obviously wanted to suss out your other bike before letting it off his trailer...... going to a good home type thing....
congratulations - I will expect to now see a movie of someone riding it.....but most of all want to HEAR the noise it makes...

if its a bendix,trash it and buy an s&s super e.

[Tommy Neimeyer]

Although the Super "E" is a good carb and I use one on my bike, I would not use it on this engine unless it has a very large displacement and is for race only.  The larger venturi of the Super "E" (1 7/8" or 47.6mm) which allows good air flow at WOT will cause low velocity flow and poor throttle response on the bottom and mid range.

The Bendix (Zenith) carbs can be made to run well if you work with them also Mr Turbo made some Mikuni carbs that worked well on these bikes.  They both had 40-42mm venturis.

Another choice would be the newer Mikuni HSR42 or possibly the HSR45 ( I think too big).

Cheers, Tom
