1973 cb750 bottom end, block bored out for bigger than 836 big bore kit (methinks 900cc), Alcoa rods, gun drilled and knife edged crank, with pistons...........$50

The crank spins but there is a mess of garbage in the bottom of the engine.

Top score........now what are you going to do with it?

        Cool acquisition there geeto. Just have to be at the rght place at the right time, huh?   So, you gonna kep us up on what you might be gonna do with that one, aren't ya?

                                     Take care, Bill

[Geeto67]

well, the frist thing I think I am going to do is get a new battery for my measuring calipers so I can tell how big the pistons are. Then I am going to see if my new in box LA sleeves fit the case before I do anything else. I have a new RC 1036cc kit, plus several yosh 811 and 826 kits I can play with. Either way it is going to breath fire. Lots of fire. Maybe I will even use the last of my 970 kit stuff on the bike it goes in. heheheee

I am debating going back for the head for that bike since it needed a total rebuild, but it might be worth it to have a ported head. It might just be worth it to call Mike Riek up and send him my NOS head plus the bottom end and have him do it fresh and new instead but I am unsure yet.

I inspected it last night and the whole assembly has been balanced and blueprinted (as near as I can tell from the grinding marks and polishing I found). The bearings looked pretty fresh but since there was some junk in the bottom of the cases I am going to rebuild it.

hey Geeto, wanna sell one of those 811 kits?

[bill440cars]

              Now Geeto, settle down..............back off for a few minutes and take slow deep breaths............get yourself composed. Watch yourself or you could have one of those dreaded "Smothering Spells!"     Don't ya just hate it when you have to go making decisions like you are contemplating? Promise us one thing..
.... that you'll keep us up with what's going on with that one, okay?


                                 Take care & Enjoy,  Bill

I did also score a couple sets of K0 side covers (unbroken!!!!) but I paid nearly $50 per cover for those.

I was there at 10am helping out because I had to go out east by 1. I saw you riding up there as I was driving away. Did anybody buy that old beat up head they had? it was the match for my motor but they wanted a lot for the head and it needed a total rebuild. If you knew what you were looking at there were some nice things there (the stock carbs with v-stacks and 130 main jets for instance were really clean inside indicating a fresh rebuild, but were so cruddy outside they got passed over a lot). I might still go back for the head if it was not sold, it had titanium retainers but it was hard to tell because the valve springs were so rusty.

BTW anybody know cb750s tuners that would have gone by the singature E&L or E&V?

[Geeto67]

oh and I am not making it to the bar tonight as much as I want to, I am stuck in Newark on a job till 9:30

[wildcatmahone]

Hey too bad we just missed each other....yeh seen those carbs there but I figured I'd hold off for now got my eye on some Keihin CR's. Not sure if that head is still there probably is though....f*ck man, $50?! Nice!

Can I have the bottom end??..............
