Name that part! CB 750
« on: January 30, 2009, 02:34:36 PM »
Anybody know what it is? I have had this thing for about 10 years and never seen another like it. I know what it is and it is specifically for the CB 750.
 Any guesses?

It looks like one rearset bracket, and a couple of other related linkage bitsas.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Does it have something to do with forward controls?

Looks like the right side top motor mount with a provision for a highway peg.

Heres another picture of it put together. It should be easier to figure out now.

 EDIT; Not a foward control, not a rear set or a foot peg mount. It bolts to the engine (somewhere on it). It is mechanical and specifially does something.

Sure looks shifter-related, given the splines.

OK, I think it reverses the shift pattern.  One up, four down.  A racing accessory, perhaps?

mystic_1

 Mystic is correct.
   It's either a:
  1) reverse pattern shifter mechanism (for std.mounting of gear lever) or
  2) shift pattern "corrector" for rear sets using the Std shift lever mounted in facing rearwards position.
 I'll post a pic of it mounted in a few days. I came down with the flu and am stuck inside for a few days.
