Thanks.last night I was sorting my wiring and switches and reg/rect,starter solenoid,etc.I have a real nice right hand control from a 78 but the harness  is a 72,I will have to rebuild the 72 switch.Can I use the later one?The wires are there,2 blacks,yel/red,bl/wh.??I'll make it work.This is a bastard of a bike anyway.One thing I am NOT doing is,cutting the wiring harness.

Here are some wiring diagrams. If you know how to read them it should not be to hard to figure out. I think the CB750 wiring is pretty similiar from year to year. I know some of the early models had a safety start switch or something. Hope these help.

awesome build i have a 72 cb750 waiting to get built!!!! so i had to drop by and take a peek

build is going great

just make sure not to lose the spacer washer for your top triple tree. ive seen a ton of them tightened down and they snap and those unicorn triple tree tops are expensive!!!

UPDATE;So,The bottom end on my F motor isnt shifting through the gears,but the bottom end on my 72 motor is smooth,shifts,kicks etc.which I already have down to the short block,I will take the top end off the F motor,do the 836 kit I have laying around,do the Hondaman porting,HD studs,Valve springs,oil cooler.I knew it was too good to be true,but now I have an excuse to build a stronger motor.Time and money

Well I admit i'm a pessimist.I got the Fukker to fire up and run strong today!!!!Happy fathers day to me.The kids at his grandparents,wife's out shopping,just me and the garage.I sat and contemplated my dilemma,so i went over to my 73 and shifted the gear change as it sat there and I realized you can go down,neutral and up one.I was wrong all along on the trans on my project(I hope)so i Kicked it about 10 times without power, put power to the coils,gas,kicked it and it fired right up,almost easier than the bike I ride(??)It ran strong,idled fine,sounds mean.God i love Cb750's.Or Honda for that matter.Now,all I have to do is make the later on/off starter switch work with the 72 harness and I;m golden.:)All the rest is gravy.Needless to say,I'm Psyched!!!

so know I have the original 72 motor half apart,so I will slowly build an 836 and take my time while I have my stock 73 and my mongrel 72 with the F motor.

To me Ratbike is just someone that cannot even use a spray can properly.
Even if you have very little money you can make a great looking bike.

Just take your time.
