Rome was not built in two days, neither is a CB750

Nice, what paint did you use? I used Rustoleum Apliance Epoxy on my K8 frame recently.

That's right, mine is one of the 754 vintage kits.

Later 392 K7 pistons to get some extra CR?
Looks like it. That was a "hop up mod" in 1980. :)
Today you can take the CB750 DOHC stock-bore pistons and cut a 1/2" flat around their outer edge (of the crown) to clear the valves, and net a 9.6:1 CR in the early heads (with a 1.0mm overbore, first).
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

The good looking stock rims, right?
DID in an oval beside the tube valve.
Those rims have smoother sides.

I know to guys that have just restored 2 CB750's.
I understand why they re-chromed rims, fenders etc. New chrome look like stock nos parts polished and covered with clear coat.

I ordered new rims to my K6 1979/80. I got the later with D.I.D stamped on the sides together with size.
