I honestly would like to know how many individual parts there on a CB750.

I wish I could find that overhead shot of a CB750 laid out on the floor in every single separate part. :(

Think that was a Sancast right?

Hmmm!

Do you mean all the individual parts and fasteners if you dismantled absolutely everything that can come apart without being destroyed (ie dismantling a chain produces a lot of parts but they won't go back together), individual parts that Honda would sell you, or some other criteria?

There are a few assemblies that can be taken apart but were only sold complete - a lot of carb rack parts and the switchpod internals were never available for example.

Perusing a parts book would give you a few days of fun counting all the parts.

That excellent photo of the CB750 parts all laid out was missing several things.

Number of parts or part numbers? For instance, there are four wrist pins for the pistons, all the same part number. So is that 1 or four? Spokes is even a better example.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.

Depends, do bearings count as one part or many?  ;D

Ok, so who's got the patience to go through the parts list and add it all up?

bearings, spokes, tapet covers etc all count as many.

one mirror would have been correct back then as the second was an option. But the bike did come with two grips ::)...Larry

I like mirrors and blinkers even if they are not required.  I won't go 2 feet without mirrors.
