Back in the fold. New to me 77 cb750f
« on: September 18, 2018, 07:04:54 AM »
Picked up a freebie basket case. "Ran when parked"...12years ago . Pics later. Just excited. Finished a cb500t last week...now I have a cb750 to plug away on. Woohoo

As I said in the title...I need parts. Willing to trademy new parts for your cb750f parts. Anything on www.fb-stuff.com is up for trade....

Does it need side covers? I know a good source. LOL

Ha. First thing I did was a fitcheck. How the heck do you post pics in the threads now? Photobucket is dead. Been a long time off the forum. Feel like a newb

I just upload directly from my phone or hard drive. You just need to make sure the resolution isn't too high so the file stays under 2mb per photo.

I used Flickr, opened selected the Tapatalk share option, copied the code then posted in the thread. (This is more a reminder for me)

here is the cb500 I just finished. All it needs to be complete are the 2 screws that hold the seat strap. It is the little things that drive you crazy.

 I just landed a 78F today. It needs sidecovers, hmm. I wonder where to look?

 I have an extra 750F windjammer bracket! Just kidding, no I really do, but kidding you might need one. I used to make mufflers for the 75/76 F exhaust. Slash cut 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" X 18" not beautiful but sound awesome. Used a glasspack from a cobra sidepipe.   I may see if I can source parts to make a muffler for the 77/78 header, the collector is way smaller. 
 Let us know what you need.

I might be interested in the Vetter bracket Don. No so that I can mount a Vetter on my F, but to adapt one of my CBX style Hondaline fairings.

 I have one for you Danny. I even considered putting on just the top part of the mount with T bolt clamps to strengthen the frame. Not for long but I considered it lol. One of the guys may stop by to pick up a jammer on his way home from Chicago.
