I landed a new unused black repro airbox off of ebay. I bid $100 on an $80 minimum someone ran it up to $96. Still cheaper than anywhere else. I noticed Yamiya has the two hole airboxes on sale, I believe they are the same as a 3 hole if someone didn't mind drilling the third hole.
I might post a Q? to see if anyone has used the made in china carb and airbox rubbers. Really cheap, under $30 for the 8 pieces.
No car racing this year, my engine has a cracked cylinder head and a new grandson keeping his Mom that drives the dragster busy anyway. That may free up some Dad money although the car still needs fixed.
Edit: still waiting on a call from a welder to repair the heads. He's 6 hours away.

if they are the ko type rubbers it would be worth a shot,the later ones are diff.bill

Don R · « **Reply #577 on:** May 27, 2019, 10:09:20 PM »

Good point, I've never paid much attention to the rubbers. My Sandcast has it's original ones and the diecast has a K4 engine, no idea what isolators those are. They are on early carbs. The late K0 I got last fall has it's original serviceable ones so I'll need to pay attention to the difference.

A black K0 airbox from ebay is on the way, the seller listed it with an odd description. Only one other bidder found it and he cost me $16 extra dollars. I ordered a set of no number 4-4's with 4 carb to airbox rubbers and a grab handle from DSS. I have an old wingnut K1 airbox to rob the hardware from. The last one I did I modified the wing bolts so they can't overtighten and mash the box.
The 4-4 pipes are for the original bike on this thread the now Blue/Green one. I paid a guy for a used set and he apparently didn't have them. I did get a refund after three weeks of a nonsensical story so I'm restraining myself from naming names but am very unhappy about it. He also offered me a consolation set of carbs that I don't expect to ever see.
I need to search my stash for correct footpeg bolts and need another heat shield. The other parts are for the brown bomber.

Name them names!

If my carbs don't come I'll name his name everywhere.

C'mon David, my order is still only invoiced. Makes me think my 4-4's are crossing an ocean as we speak. L0L I'm doing some shopping in my stash for peg bolts and shield parts. I swore I saw a deal on a full set of heat shields and hardware, can't find it now.

Don R · « **Reply #582 on:** June 05, 2019, 12:01:53 PM »

He must have read this, it now says it was dispatched last Friday. Woo Hoo! Thanks David! The inside the pipe stainless paint is on the way from Eastwood also. I see my big brothers gl1000 getting kicked off the lift soon.

Edit. the exhaust paint is here, no longer stainless but ceramic and aluminum in it. The new/used/but not/old/repro airbox is here, A black one from LPM I think England. I dug out my worst k1 or so airbox to rob the hardware from for the K0. The last one got washers to bottom out the wing bolts so I don't squash the new airbox.

Those are the real deal. I can email JT direct. This old dad's checkbook is getting a little thin, I have one chrome one, there are a few old ones on ebay.

These are shiny and k1-6 but the price is good, http://cart.hondanuts.com/Heat-Shield-Set-Honda-CB750-Exhaust-Muffler-K1-76-P3556842.aspx

That site is new to me they have a few things to search through. As oem parts go away or get crazy expensive we need more sources.

Don R · « **Reply #587 on:** June 10, 2019, 08:29:30 AM »

I put the bike on the lift to get ready for the 4-4's and realized it has head studs and late header mounts. I dug into the parts boxes and came up with 4 nice exhaust adapters and 4 pretty good clamps. I once bought a parts bike with a bad oil leak and they were well preserved. The parts are soaking in a little solvent and/or vinegar now. Delivery is expected today, I feel like a kid at Christmas.

Don R · « **Reply #588 on:** June 11, 2019, 10:47:00 AM »

It's tomorrow and the pipes are now due today, the bolts and heat shields are due tomorrow. I removed the old pipes and header studs, I got the new crush washers and exhaust spigots installed. I'll set up a table to apply the inside pipe exhaust coating. I've been sidetracked many times but it's getting it's pipes now.

Don R · « **Reply #589 on:** June 11, 2019, 02:26:53 PM »

The box is here, has Yamiya all over it, it appears intact but no time to open it, my cylinder head guy said have the heads in Mi at 8 am and he will weld them tomorrow. That has me leaving around midnight.

Congrats on the pipes!
Tell me about the exhaust paint with ceramic and aluminum, what will it do for you? You are swabbing it in the inside of the new pipes/exhaust? Do you have to degrease the internals of the pipes?
Thanks!
David

Don R · « **Reply #593 on:** June 14, 2019, 12:41:46 PM »

Since the pipes are new I'm assuming they are fairly clean. The paint sprays through a 24" poly tube and comes out with a round pattern. You shove it in, push the top of the can and pull it out as you spray. I'm hoping it resists moisture as long as possible. You do need to clean out the drain holes. I seal the ends with tape and roll the pipes every way I can to make sure any wet paint inside gets distributed evenly. It does spray a lot.
In my climate the stock pipes didn't last long. That said, I'll be sure they get heated up very time I ride in the cool air. Probably no rain or snow. I tried to get pics but had an almost 3 year old helping.

Just put a little two stroke oil (you can now buy smoke-less two stroke oil) in with every other tank of gas Don, and the two stroke oil mist will coat the internals and protect them from moisture. I'm yet to see an exhaust on a two stroke bike that's ever rusted out.

Don R · « **Reply #595 on:** June 16, 2019, 09:03:13 AM »

I'm in total agreement Terry. I have a 1970'ish T350 Suzy in the driveway and it's got an almost perfect exhaust. Too bad some azz left it outside with no tank seat or air box.
I've been using a little Amzoil 2 stroke and no alky gas to try to protect my gas tanks and it surely won't hurt the mufflers. I coated the insides too. The GL1000 gets what's available on the road but no alky when possible.

Don R · « **Reply #596 on:** June 16, 2019, 08:42:40 PM »

For anyone that can't see the pic below here's a link. This was the bike I had imagined so many years ago, I dreamed of making it run, we got my brothers bike running too so we could ride together again. I hadn't been on a 750 for over 20 years.
The seller really got the best of me at $650, he had a smirk on his face as he turned away with my money in his hand. It was karma, I was looking for Lester mags and there was this bike for sale for what the mags were selling for. Instantly the rusty K3 I drug off of a clothesline post was set aside so I could get this running.
Oddly enough, I've set aside a pair of stock K0 wheels for it.

They look fantastic Don, do the two stroke oil thing as well, and they should last as long as the rest of the bike!
