Hello, I'm Gus from Buffalo, NY.
I picked up a 1974 CB750 4 weeks back, and also my motorcycles license. I've fallen in love with this bike, and started lightly modding her, and have tons of questions.
First off, here she is.
Since I picked it up, I've been riding any chance I get. The bike is quick and handles really well for a fatty, haha.
I've replaced the stock headlight ears, and added the headlight visor for some extra class..
Although, I've run into a major setback as of today. I bought some clip on bars, and installed them without any issues.. I should probably start a different thread for this but if I can get pointed in the right direction that would be great...
Pulling the old wiring through the bars was tough, and adapting the controls to the bars even harder of a task.. All said in done, the bike wouldn't start. I think the fragile wiring in my left and right controls have given me quite the headache. The wires for dim controls and horn for the left set broke, and the wiring has splices. I think the only route is to try and source some new left controls. As far as the right controls go, I was having some issues with the starter grounding itself and trying to start after the bike is already running... I'd like to put a remote start button by the right side of the tank. Also the headlight switch was blowing the fuse, when I'd set the headlight to on. I'd like to wire the headlights to be always on and eliminate the right hand controls totally as I ordered a new throttle to replace the stock one.. The same idea for the kill switch, I'd like that to be by the remote start button... I've tried to find threads where this had been done, but haven't got too far, even with the wiring diagram for my bike... I'm novice to wiring, but currently I believe I just opened a can of worms with these clipons :-(
Anyway... I'm trying not to get discouraged as the electrical on these machines are somewhat basic.. Just need a plan and some motivation to keep on keeping on.
Gus
