   Thank you. I thought that I might try to be successful at sending a photo link before the daughters came home to teach me how.... before they could call me a loser.
    I got the okay from the doctor/surgeon  today to get on with life with no restrictions, all good. So I rode the 750 home from town . Felt fantastic to be on it after 8 weeks of not being able to. Now I should take out some of the other licensed ones out before the carbs get all gummed up.

Congrats on the clearance from the Doc and riding again!  Must feel good.

Yes, exercise the rest of the collection and prep those that are going to be dormant for a while to not require much to get them restarted again.  August is all but gone and fall will be here soon. Enjoy riding while the weather is good.

Kudos for figuring out Google Photos linking.

   So I've only taken 2 rides since June, seems like such a waste of a perfectly good summer.
A while back I wanted to clean up the garage and decided to take apart and rebuild three 500 s  at the same time  , well , just because, and had three freshened rollers before I was distracted by life. I did get one done a year ago and finally got the second one complete (except for the side covers). The third needs some little stuff and an exhaust pipes and am having a hard time finding any period pipes in decent condition, I could just get a set of headers I suppose but , I really would like to find a pair  of turn outs. I got some usable pipes and turned out mufflers for #2 and it only took me a year to find them. Maybe  I'll get luckier with #3.
  So while #3 is on the back burner, a while back a 750A found it's way on the trailer, it was cheap , someone else's F ed over project that didn't run and had lots of rattle can black paint every where but the forks were nice ,and a nice set of forks always comes in handy. So I hid it in a compartment at the shop for a later date , and it has been very noisy ever since . One day I had not much going on , hooked up some wires and a battery to see how bad the compression could be. Ha, All good within 4 pounds in all 4. Maybe it's better than just a pair of forks he thought , and it's being broken down for chrome buffing ,rust removal, frame and engine paint and whatever it might need to make it happy again. Maybe that will make it a little happier . It'll make me happier, I think...Automatics are strange, can't see the point of it, but I can't seem to leave it alone either. Pics when I have more progress.

Honda CB750 Automatic, keeping it weird since 1976...  ;)
Glad  you have had a bit of fun in the shop, still time to enjoy some riding before the leaves make roadways slippery and dangerous. Then after leaves are gone, if the snow doesn't start flying early this year, then you should be able to squeeze in some rides if you dress for the temps...
What kind of turn outs are you looking for?
Got any pics of what you seek? I made a bad purchase of a used exhaust and the 2-1 headers are not in good shape but the turnouts are in pretty good shape...but they are likely Mac...whatever they are they have good chrome.

 I am back to work, playing catch up with the schedule that is only 2 months behind, good luck right? so there hasn't been time to play and getting back into shape makes me tired and in the sack by nine. But I did get a 15 min, ride in today .
  David ,I've been on the lookout for a decent pair of Jardines, but they are like hen's teeth.What is this turnouts that you have I wonder , do they come with chomeish pipes? I could be interested. can I see a picture or two maybe and let me know how much  please? Thank you in advance.

Been pecking at that 750 automatic over the last couple weeks. Took the frame paint down  and re shot it in gloss black, engine just got a good clean up and cast aluminum paint to freshen it up a bit,went through all the cables and brake lock behind the right peg mount... lots of stiff grease and a little rust to remove ,but it's all working fine now, inspected the swingarm old grease in that too cleaned it up and greased . steering bearings looked alright , more old grease, removed cleaned and greased. Assembled it all . closing in on finishing the wiring, cleaned up the ends, somebody has been replacing some wires but it needs to bee soldered and shrink wrapped yet. PO got into the carbs...well you know, silicone and bent overflows ,like they were dropped down a staircase, hope to play with them this Sunday and see how much deeper he went. New chain and sprockets on order due this week, also pan gasket and nine other items that I don't remember  but I musta thought they were important enough to order. The tank could use a freshening  and PO drilled quite a few holes in the rear fender , that would have had some decent paint on it if it wasn't for that, one repairable chip on the front fender paint and side covers that have no paint it seems, might just be easier to repair and paint all these parts a single color....I mean , after all, it is an automatic and I just don't think it'll be worth doing soup to nuts, going all out type rebuild, I just want to ride it and see if it's worth riding, then a decision to improve other things may be in order. Or not. But it is coming along.  No pics yet cause it looks like everything else I do , when something seems special or finished, which ever one comes first, they'll be pictures.

 Haven't seen many out here either. The cm 400 is around here allot, not a bad little bike, not the automatic ,   I've found them to be very easy to ride and as predictable as you can get on 2 wheels. My wife doesn't ride , not that I haven't offered a machine , and she's just dangerous on the back of mine, so she hasn't been for a ride in many years. She shows interest when around the garage by saying something like " Now which one would this one be?". So I give her the long drawn out answer pointing out the differences between each machine, it doesn't interest her that much, so she usually tells me she's got something else to do... she won't be visiting the garage again anytime soon. I really feel bad about it but, she just isn't any good with wrenches either. I guess if we had to share interests together I'd be in the flower garden on sunny Saturday afternoons , Uhh, not happening. So it works , but it would be nice to have a rider to share the ride with once in a while.

  Spent the day with the 750A. Wiring  repairs have been soldered and shrink wrapped, ends all cleaned up, wires are all buttoned up in the headlight and battery area. Only wiring left to do is the rear blinkers and tail light , but that might have to wait til it gets new paint.
  Got into the stock carbs that looked like PO threw them down the stairs, I broke one overflow that was bent , even with heat it just snapped off, oh well, then I looked at one of the outside carbs and saw the end that goes into the mounting rubber was just less than a quarter gone....like maybe PO did throw them down the stairs. Hmmm. So I have had a couple pair of early 750 carbs that I've been wanting to use on something and they don't work on 500s or 550s , but they do fit directly on the 750 A as long as I used the rubber parts that came with them, and I just happened to have a set of those hanging around too. How lucky, and it got better , I had  new push /pull throttle cables on the wall for years. So that's all on and looks promising. I'm going with pods as the original box from the A won't work with the carbs I put on, but, I do have a halfways decent stock airbox from an older model 750 that might fit in the frame, just needs a good cleaning I hope. Or maybe switch the boots from the older one to the A air box... still up in the air as I haven't found a set of pods worth buying yet.
  Rear sprocket came in , chain too,and the wrong front sprocket. So I 'm waiting for it to show up so I can get it finished up mechanically. The wrong oil pan gasket showed up too, so I ordered one from a 77 to see if that would work, waiting for that too.
  Just want to get the oil in it , throw in a fresh battery, sinc the carbs, and see what it does. I may have to wait for warmer weather to paint the body work, but I really want to finish it before winter. Again , pics when there's something worth seeing.

Looking at Accuweather’s forecast for the next 3-4 weeks here it looks like the weather is going to be cool, so best to get that paintwork finished up very soon, before like you said...it is too cool to do paintwork.

  Our local weather forecasters can't figure out what it may be like tomorrow much less than 3 or 4 weeks from now. We have had such a fast fall this year , leaves were on the ground before the color came out. I did in my travels see something I have never seen before, there was this 30 foot maple, every leaf on the tree was bright pink on the topside and a very light pink almost white on the underside of the leaves. The leaves that fell off surrounded the tree were almost all upside down and light and every leaf still on the tree was bright pink, an amazing sight. It does make me wonder why all the grounded leaves were upside down, how do they know what side to fall on I wonder. Whenever I drop boards on the ground without nails in them they always land on either side...put a nail through it and it's almost guaranteed to land nails up. Nature is amazing and paint time is running out quickly.

Oil pan gasket came in today, it's the correct one  this time. The rear sprocket that I thought was right was also wrong and the correct replacement also came in today. As for the front sprocket, the correct one came in a couple days ago. At least the right chain came in the first time. Now all I need is some time to put it back together. I stole some time at lunch and rebuilt the brake cylinder, had to, the pad was stuck in rust in the caliper , all cleaned up ,polished  and new piston seal installed. mc was in good working order for some reason...need to remember to bleed the system , didn't have time today. Picked up some cheap pods because I didn't see anything I liked, won't run an engine without an air filter of some sort. will upgrade at some point. Still haven't had time to clean and seal the inside of the tank yet , so there is no new paint on any of the metal work yet ( maybe next year). hope to start it up next week , hasn't been run in years, has slashed pipes, looks loud, wonder how it will sound.

Glad you have been having some fun with the 750A when not being irritated by the wrong parts arriving...
I have been prepping for move and have not had time to dig out pipes for you.  Moving back to Tucson next week.

  Chain and sprockets installed.
The MC that I thought was good, was only good for a few pumps, then crapped out. Got a new MC for the same price as the rebuild kit, that's on and bled.
   There's been no sign of the pods since I ordered them. Expected them in a few days...Amazon says Oct 28- Nov 14, oh well.
Pan gasket installed , filter installed , and oil is in.
   Didn't repaint the tank, I like it the way it is really...did some minor chip repair ,looks good enough to ride, to me.
Maybe next spring I can fire this thing up, it seems that snow is on the way, riding time is over. I'll roll it off the lift to make room for a back burner project that I hoped to get to this past summer, but didn't.
    A ways back I picked up a 83 550 , not the usual 550 for me. And 2 winters ago or better I picked up an 84 650 night hawk that had had some front end damage according to the front wheel and heat discolored forks. Can't trust the 650 and not a fan of it's overall appearance, but the engine had good compression and seemed to go through the gears alright ...these bikes are shaft drives. I got the 550 running right away but it sounded like a lifter issue happening ...Then I thought how much fun would it be to switch that 650 into the 550....should slip right in , maybe change out the airbox rubbers and headers, maybe swingarm too , don't know yet....but would like to start this project soon so it'll be ready for spring too. If there's time , maybe I could finally get to the 1100 wing too. haven't done one of those yet. Pics when I find my camera.

I gave up on the cheap pods and upgraded to very nice pods. They showed up, all of them at once, I like them  , went on nice. Finished off all the little things on that 750a that needed to be done. It's ready for a battery and gas but I won't leave it in the tank or carbs over the winter with fuel in them,  so fire up will have to wait till spring.
https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMrunoqhijGC4wMXx-zJIjzn2Jd5aESU1EYiLV9
 So the last of the 3 500's is so very near to complete now. I couldn't find a decent used exhaust recently, so I bought a Delvic header on line. easy peasy,looks okayy, nothing stock about it though ...the only thing I don't like about 4 into 1 headers is the void that is left on the shift side, you know , nothing there except the ugly center stand . I'm glad I have the headers  but disappointed with that void and the uneven ness of the overall appearance 2 into 1 s would solve the awkwardness of it all but they have been  overpriced over the years and the cheaper headers must have put them out of production as far as I can tell.Too bad.
  Any how  All of the 3 500's got Frankenstuff side covers last week , I am very happy . Can hardly wait til spring to paint them up. And this spring I plan to get some more side covers as an upgrade to those fragile stock covers that are on some of the other  bikes.
 #3 , the last of the set is in need of chain and sprockets  (on order) and a chain guard that I'm hoping to acquire soon, then that should be complete and also ready for firing in the spring. Changed out the seat cover and it's looking so much better now. I picked up a cheap MC for the 750a  works good, not 70's design morelike the 80's version mc . Thinking of replacing the one on this 500 with one of those , it's actually less expensive than the rebuild kit for the original one and I'm okay with the rectangular shape for a change.
   Pics ...I forgot how to do it again. Kids come home for the holidays soon,perhaps they'll show me how and this time I'll write it all down. Photobucket was so easy way back when and you'd think Google could make it even easier than that. not. oh well.

Chain and sprockets are on, new fuel tank cap seal I suspect the ethanol hardened it up and the fact the last one  40 years old might have had something to do with it too. My new to me chain guard came in today and it may be the most beautiful chain guard I have ever seen.  Can't wait til tomorrow to put it on , stare at it a while, maybe longer and then find something else that bike needs.
  I've spent a little time on looking at what I thought was a finished 78 750 hondamatic that was missing the kickstand linkage, threaded rod and neutral shifter, and decided since I've never fired up one of these machines maybee I should have the ablity to be switched into the neutral position or perhaps I might see it take off from the stand and disappear down the road with no rider or maybe just fall over , you know, something stupid like that. So I'm looking for those parts and would be interested should anyone out there has these parts extra and would like to sell them. please PM me.

Sorry guys, no pictures. My children aren't willing to help me with the process, told them what I want to do ,what I did with photobucket vs.google, how to get pics from there to here....instead of offering other options.....well  they get all pi$$ed of with me talking about apples and oranges , they're different, can't expect to share only one pic....blah blah blah without sharing entire albums, you can't do it . not going to do it. Hmmmm , been a long holiday and they are here until monday...and no farggin pictures.  I love the holidays , my girls stay just long enough sometimes to pi$$ me off , so this must be one of those times.
 I'll have to find another way.

Just spent about half an hour catching up on this thread.  I've been away from the site for far too long but with a good excuse, I've been putting as many miles on bikes as I could for the past few years.  And since we typically have way more days that are rideable than not here in Georgia, that has taken quite a bit of my time.  But your thread has always been one of my favorites.  Thanks for keeping us updated...makes me smile whenever I read your posts and look at the photos.

OH my, are you lucky! I only day dream about riding a few times a day, okay , every hour. How nice it would be to just open the door and roll one out whenever it isn't raining ,because it's almost always warm enough to enjoy freely all year long and not a forced bone chilling ride that really doesn't satisfy the itch.   Sooooooooooooo lucky. Think  you could ride a mile for a weather poor unfortunate from the north east? I'd really enjoy knowing that you enjoyed that mile as much as I would. Thanks in advance.
  May sound silly, but up here we live vicariously through others during the winter months.
