Hello. We've just finished up working on our project 750. It is a '78 K frame, a '76 F engine, and 12 hours of constant assembly. Less talk, more pictures:
Last November, before the original engine gave up the ghost:
Kool-Aide Pre-assembly break:(this is Tyson)
Rolling it out of winter storage:
Taking it to it's new "more loving" home:
This is the fastest the frame has gone since November of 07':
New home:
Inspecting the valves for imminent catastrophic failure:
Snug as a bug and ready for the build(<written by Honda? aka Tyson):
Super awesome valve adjustment time!:

Screw after:
Cleaning the engine and can you see all three valve covers?
Re-united!
Wheeling the new powerplant over to the frame:
Love at first sight:
It's in!
Bolted up!
Dinner break, and the official purchase of the bike. I paid 1 footlong sub for it!
Back to work, stripping the old K bottom end:
Points on:
Can you see what is wrong in this picture?(other than Tyson, that is)
More assembly:
Not sure what I was doing here:

More work:
A hard night's work:
Finding out how much oil a SOHC 750 takes:
Complete(ish)
So, we did get it running, and I've got some videos up on youtube of the startup. Overall, a rather quick assembly of the bike, and without major mishap. Any chain and sprocket donations are appreciated...
Videos soon.
