Topic: RE: Trivial Question - Number of parts on a CB750

[markb]

I have a spreadsheet with all the part numbers and quantities for a CB750 sandcast.  My number is 2142.  So the steering head balls count as 37 of them.  But other parts, like the speedometer gearbox assembly are one part number but are composed of many other parts, in this case 12 parts.  So depending how you count the total number could be higher.

Thanks Mark!  You are the man!  Do you have a link to the spreadsheet by any chance?  Could you email me a copy? 

Greatly appreciated.

Of those 2142 parts how many did you have to purchase for your sandcast?  No wonder these thing cost 20 to 40k. ha,ha,ha  Don't imagine there are many sandcast parts you can buy for $1.  Glad I don't have one.

Right!

I used to keep track of what I spent and my hours but it was too scary    so I don't really know.  But to answer your question, not as many as you might think.  First because they're hard to find and second because I try to save as many parts as I can (which can also get expensive).  And actually, if I had to guess, 42 isn't a bad guess.

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

Your wife must love that in your bedroom! 

I think he is single...and smart. Ha!

I tried to attach some handlebars and lets say that kinda ended things. ha,ha,ha.  Besides what woman would let me have a dozen cb750s.
