I just had some communication with Hondaman. Apparently the relay race organizers are completely unaware of the Paris Rally and that the CB750 is featured.

They would'nt know but nothing could be sorted as we didnt know when it would be passing through our region. Some of us were hoping for August

Laids · « **Reply #27 on:** April 11, 2011, 10:40:43 AM »

Still though, it would have been a great opportunity. More CB750's per square foot than, I don't know when.

Guys I wont becoming on the 650 4 but I may be coming in my old beaten up Toyota and if I get the logistics sorted( my daughter and son in law live in Oakville ) I'll see you there, I haven't been to a swap meet in decades, here's hoping.

Hi guys, I'm still planning to make it, the 750 is starting to go back together, and barring any huge set backs, I think I'll make it. Whoever is coming from the north or east of Toronto, I could hook up with, and ride in together. I'm thinking of early-ish on Friday.

Boner · « **Reply #33 on:** April 14, 2011, 09:38:43 AM »

I can do that.
Im also in the same boat as far as building the bike , its still a ways off but I should have her built. I wasnt planning on camping but if there is a bunch of guys who are I may change my mind. I would imagine most of the guys would show on Saturday or even Friday night if they also plan on camping.
Who's up for what ?

Laids · « **Reply #34 on:** April 17, 2011, 10:09:18 AM »

I'll be going for Friday and staying over Sat. Havn't figured out yet if another friend goes it will be in his motorhome, if not I'll be camping

70cbk0 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 17, 2011, 06:12:25 PM »

I'm planning on going Friday, I have a friend on Paris, might stay there. Got the cylinder on today, and the pistons in, not before I dropped something in the crankcase, but thank God, I managed to get it out again. Dear Lord, I hope I get it done in time!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine seems to be breaking down into more and more pieces. It started off with fixing a valve seal, then developed into ' while it's apart I might as well...' Last apart was 25 years ago, she has been starting to show her age.

Boner · « **Reply #37 on:** April 17, 2011, 09:19:42 PM »

Im still working on the cylinder head

but I plan some speed building

well, we've got 8 weeks and counting! Got the chrome back from the plater, waiting on the zinc plating. Going to near Buffalo, for exhaust. Got a pretty good deal on HM300's $1,050 U.S, which is a deal for us right now, with the exchange rate, I just have to go get them.

strawhouse · « **Reply #39 on:** May 24, 2011, 06:09:01 PM »

Its getting close guys! Hopefully we can figure out a meeting place and make a ride down. Im heading from the north, up in Muskoka and I think I will do the Friday night camp and leave Saturday night. What do you guys think?

70cbk0 · « **Reply #40 on:** May 25, 2011, 08:07:25 PM »

Still trying to make it!!!! I've turned down work for that ride, and have paid my registration.....Here's where I'm at..... Painted today, Candy Blue Green, nice paint from vintagehonda paint.com. BTW, my iPhone is off on the color, is much more green that this.

Boner · « **Reply #41 on:** May 25, 2011, 09:03:24 PM »

I still plan on going BUT the Honda will not

I hope I will have it together and running by then but it wont be ready for the road. If you still plan a ride down and would like a couple of Triumphs tagging along then let me know otherwise I will meet you guys down there to say hello.
Bob / Hondanut will more than likely be heading down on his Goldthing and Dino Dave on his Trumpet.

Laids · « **Reply #42 on:** May 25, 2011, 09:38:18 PM »

Still working on mine, seeing 70cb, I'm in similar shape, although trying to figure out which bolt goes where and fishing a new wire harness. A few roadblocks have occured, like fork seals. The new ones I bought turned out to be large, replacements were too small. I finally measured them all and OD 47 seems to be what will fit. does that sound right for VIN #1015.... ?

70cbk0 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 26, 2011, 06:28:07 AM »

I got spokes from these guys, really reasonably priced and was here in one day!
Fork seals....http://www.vintagecb750.com/products/3/suspension/52/fork-tubes-fork-seals

even a whole wiring harness $75! http://www.vintagecb750.com/products/73/featured-products

and they are in Canada but charge $U.S., so even less <john>

Laids · « **Reply #44 on:** May 26, 2011, 04:38:56 PM »

I notice that their fork seals are for 1971-78 and are 48mm, 48 it to large for my forks, it now seems even 47 is a little to big. Do you remember what size you used in your 70?

70cbk0 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 26, 2011, 07:32:08 PM »

I think I just got them from Honda, they still are available... Part # 91255292003.

How did you get the paint shipped to Canada. I thought they have a strict US shipping only policy?

I hope to make it there too but probably on Sunday only and might be on my cb400f or car. My K1 is still a work in progress and my second K1 is in long term storage.

70cbk0 · « **Reply #47 on:** May 27, 2011, 06:19:39 PM »

you're right, they won't ship here. i was getting parts outside of Buffalo and had them ship the paint to the bike shop. Then I brought it back. Pain in the a$$

Boner · « **Reply #48 on:** June 04, 2011, 04:49:11 PM »

Gay Paris! well Im not going there but! Dino Dave and I will be riding our Triumphs ( sorry ) down to the Paris rally on Friday and we will be camping possibly both nights, Friday for sure. 70cbko will be heading down Friday also on some sort of Honda ( TO BE DECIDED ) . Anyone interested please post now and 70cbko can try to arrange something. I will try to pm everyone to remind them of the upcoming event.
