ABSOLUTELY ZERO REASON to get an exhaust from England! I have bought 2 COMPLETE HM300 exhausts in the past year from my local Dealer in West Bridgewater, MA. They are (newly?) still available. See if your dealer will cut you a break if you want everything.

Good Luck, Phil

Thanks
Wish I lived in England I'd already have that OEM 4 into 4 exhaust on her but it's really hard to justify the $300 for shipping to get it here.

Don't know why, but I tried calling my local dealer several times and they keep telling me there not available.  I just tried calling your dealer.  Maybe they can talk some sense into mine.  Thanks for the advice.

Guess it is about time to post some more pics of my 1971 CB750K1 now that it is all done and running. And running AWESOME if I do say so myself! What a great machine!

Good luck on the pipes!

I picked up this K4 on July 25th so the KO & K1 have more company.  I have always been a fan of the flake sunrise orange.  Plan to do the stock restore.  That ugly seat is gone.  Not sure about the sissy bar...pretty retro though of the 70's.

Got this from Ebay, she's in the process of being being refurbished on a thread in projects.
It's a 1975 f imported from Japan to the UK. All the labels are in Japanese and the clocks are Kph.

Purchased this bike last December- she was a basket case. I was inspired by the song "Whatever Lola Wants..." to name her Lola and have no regrets. Getting close to firing her up for the first time. Intend to tear her down again this winter to powder coat the frame/rims black and paint the tank/seat silver- also de-chrome most of the chromed parts except the front fender and oil tank.

Just got it on Sunday!  This is my 3rd CB750, but my 1st F.  Only rode it a few miles because the previous owner hadn't hooked up the rear master cylinder to the Raask rearsets.  Even though the paint job is pretty good, I'm going to go back to a stock Black or Candy red color with tank decals.  The only bike I think looks good this red is a Ducati Desmo.

Cheers!
and Ride Safe.

Back online & looking for inspiration.

'77 750F2, running but smokes, fires weakly on #3 & oil smells like gas:  Rebuild time.
36000 miles on the clock

Goodies:  Keihin CR smoothbores- 29mm (I think 29)
               Dyna S ignition
               Dyna 3 ohm coils & big wires
               520 chain conversion

Needs:  Cancer treatments in tank, frame & swingarm
            Aforementioned engine rebuild (probably just top end but I'm inclined to do the whole thing)
            Some 'lectrical updates a-la LEDs to bring the amps back down to a manageable level
            Sidestand & bar repairs after an in-transit fall in a box trailer.


Technically it's my wife's bike (wedding present from ME - ain't I sweet?).  Was my first mc which fell into neglect when I purchased Stella, an '04 cbr600f4i.  Sad how the hot young things ruin us, isn't it?  At least I kept it red!  I'm here to look for inspiration to keep plugging away on the CB so I can have an excuse for us to keep her a bit longer!

Dave
Hampstead, Maryland - 72 CB750K2

I just purchased it few months ago. It's my very first street bike and restoration project. I plan on keeping it mostly stock, but might make some minor improvements. Mostly I see it as a learning experience, and boy do I have a LOT to learn! I'm very inspired by the bike photos members have posted on this forum. I hope mine comes out even half as nice as theirs!
