Topic: New member and proud owner of a 1976 Honda 750F

[Cpl Miller]

My name is Gary Miller, on screen handle is "Cpl Miller" from Sacramento, Ca

Purchased my first Honda 750 in 1974, founder of the motorcylce club Easy Aces of Bay Area, Ca. Had our club for 7 years with over 35 members. Sold my first bike in 1980 to move our family out of state.

Missed my bike for all these years until a week ago when I picked up another 750. I'll create a photo section and post the bike. Plans are to build the bike for road riding, increase power from the 750CC to either an 836 kit or 812 if I can find an 812 kit. In the 70"s we use the Yoshimera 812 kits, but am not sure what is offered in todays Market. I'll be looking for advice on the CC size I should run. I might add I was the Harley and Honda machanic for the club so I'm not new to the bike, only todays new parts for the bike.

Anyways, I look forward to meeting you all and posting on your forums.


I might add I am a Former Marine and Viet Nam vet for all you vets out there.

Welcome

[Cpl Miller]

Searching for a couple of things, one is the availibility of an 812 kit for my 750, second is a set of headers. In the old days I ran 2 into one for that balance look, I don't like four into one. Any ideas where I can purchase high performance parts?

Thank

Gary

Sure,

Lots of suggestions in the FAQ.

Best place to start.

Firstly, welcome. I too am from that era and while I have a stash of period parts, am looking for what's new. I also have a 76 CB750F which will be my next project.

Being back on this site for a month or so now, I'll say I'm still finding resources here. Simply do a search on the FAQs, or in Tricks and Tips, etc. and whatever you seek you shall find. Directly, WISECO is probably the most known supplier of the 812-836 size kits. More exotic suppliers make whatever you want. I have an 888cc kit from ARIAS which required boring the block and the installation of tapered sleeves. Look to the right margin of these sites and you'll see a rotation of suppliers. Also, DYNOMAN.com and APE.com are great retailers.  Good luck!

I am freakin amazed at the activity level with these old bikes. There is more stuff readily available than when they were new, or so it seems.
