Putting the engine back in. 1978 Cb750 K
« on: April 18, 2015, 03:18:11 PM »
All, putting the engine back in and checking the bolts.  Calj made an awesome new lower bolt not shown in the picture.   With that said, the front lower bolt sticks out very far. I am wondering the length of this bolt or if it looks correct. Its about the same length both sides.

This is aftermarket to accommodate an engine guard. The original ones are shorter and only open on one end.

Wobbly... thank you for the definitive.   There was an engine guard on as well.
