Mick, can you confirm that the CR900 (31mm) tickler carbs will fit a CB750 SOHC by using DOHC intake rubbers?

Gday RR, mate i am not sure what the rubbers are on mine, they are on the engine at the moment. I have to go see another guy about some gear and he knows quite a bit about these carbs, i will ask and let you know.

I think he'll be happy to get about $12,000 Fuzzy. When it was built and the $ was 2 to the £ it cost nearly $25,000.

DOHC rubber manifolds will never work to mount CR Keihin carbs on SOHC engines. Those 4 valve ports were huge. I have the rubber manifolds (new) that you need to mount the CR900 Keihins, with Kaw/Suz spacing... here in stock at M3.

Let me know if you need them.

For crying out loud sakes Sam....... in hindsight the cost of the engine build could have been a lot less....EVEN SHIPPING TO THE USA AND BACK!!!! I just read this thread....just a bit emotional. Sorry.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #387 on:** April 20, 2009, 06:16:17 pm »

Yes it is sad Mike.

I've made Chris an offer if it don't reach its reserve so it might not be all lost.

Hey sir....i feel pain here Sam. Awful feeling. Are you going to come and visit. Brent W needs an answer you old codger.

bwaller · « **Reply #389 on:** April 20, 2009, 07:30:44 pm »

Now don't blame me Mike, but if Mr. Green makes it across I'm sure I can find my way back to your house.

MRieck · « **Reply #390 on:** April 20, 2009, 07:40:39 pm »

Brent....you and Deb are truly good folks....no doubt about that. Just don't bring any of that Maple Butter with you.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #391 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:01:42 pm »

I'll still be coming, got a Hondamatic to collect.

will be real nice to see you and Debs again Brent.

Sam.

bwaller · « **Reply #392 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:31:51 pm »

Well we'll have to make it a date then. I don't suppose you two could be convinced to tip back a cold one?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #393 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:58:14 pm »

It will probably be the end of November or early December.

Not sure if anyone knows this but Bob Hanson is out at Willow Springs this weekend for the AHRMA race. There was a '70 CR 750 on display in the bike show that he built. Sorry dont have any pictures for you, I didn't have a camera on me. I'll be back out there tomorrow so if it's still there I'll try to get some pictures. If any of you SoCal guys out there don't have any thing going on you should come up here and check out the races, tons of cool stuff.

Mike,

Looking great - just don't make it look too great or it'll be better than mine

Always a pleasure to help a fellow CR builder - anytime. Hurry up and get it finished now

SquidH8er · « **Reply #398 on:** April 27, 2009, 09:13:18 am »

Well I was out at the track again on Sunday, and Bob wasn't there with his bike. But, there was another CR 750 there. The bike belonged to Yoshi from the Garage Company. He owns a shop here in Southern California. Check out his website, garagecompany.com. He had the bike out on the track during the parade laps and he wasn't afraid to run it. It sounded so sweet. The cool thing about it was he was running with a 750 Ducati. To see and hear those two bikes going at it was just so cool. I have some cool pictures of the bike. As soon as I can figure out how to post them I'll get them up for you guys. They might be too big I'm not sure yet. 12 MP!

Ok ... got paint back tonight ... should look good with the white Daytona style stripes and lettering as contrast .... now I need to install my Lordmoonpie graphics! Lot's of clear for a deep color finish, almost a crime to glue the chin pad down onto this brand new paint job!
