`72 cb750 piston emancipation video
« on: March 18, 2014, 04:19:25 PM »
Here is a short video documenting the process of freeing four stuck pistons from `72 750.  I am currently apprenticing with Richard Barsotti at Wasted Spark Motorcycles, and this is a project for a customer.  I also have owned a `71 cb750 for a decade now, and was extremely exited about this complete teardown and rebuild.  Mostly uncharted territory for me.  Ill post a new video as progress persists. 
enjoy the video here.
