Agree about Yamiya. I have ordered some from them.
They sell own good quality parts too

Those pipes look Nice

Everything Yamiya makes is very nice.

Does Yamiya actually manufacture them?

I think I asked before but I never saw the answer, if you're restoring a K0 at breakneck speed every 4 months what are you doing with them all?

I sent the last three to a guy in the UK.
I am suffering from a lack of CB750s, hope to be riding next week.

Good question, do you have a museum?

If five is a museum then I have one.

We've found out that having ten different bikes is more fun than a bunch of the same bike.

From experience, having 5 bikes is a chore to keep them all in running condition if you have a day job.

My buddy is a realtor and has some free time and I work on bikes at home. We would never be able to maintain 10 bikes if we both had to work full time. Especially since most of the bikes came to us as $500 dead to the world bikes. Only one bike left to go through, the other ones are riders now. And you are right it's a chore but I can think of lots worse things I could be doing.

Soon badges with "Yamiya 750"

Yamiya has a close relationship with Honda, this would offend Honda.

Does Yamiya actually manufacture them?

Japan and usa have advanced economies, both send manufacturing to low cost destinations.

We had a Yamaha XS1100 with the factory fairing and bags but we sold it to a guy that really wanted it before we went through it. We are stopping at ten bikes although I am hoping to get my uncles 78' KZ1000LTD which will be a keeper so it might be 11 bikes.

Nice transformation from an ugly tank with filler covering the badge holes? 
To a shiny good tank with typical early CB750 color!

The badge holes were covered with bondo.
Tank was pretty nice.

Nice job!

You could fix the wrinkles too, PDR?

Honda expected to sell 1100 of these the first year.
When demand took off they made new tank dies.

Not yet, I am waiting for a crankshaft, piston pin and a wad of federal reserve notes to arrive.
I have anticipation, I want to ride a cb750 this year.
Updates coming in future episodes.
