Topic: how comfy is your CB750 on a long ride

Does anyone use the throttle grip adjuster on the underside of the right switch assembly? I use to use it on the k1 during long trips so that the throttle spring effect was minimized.  I never had a problem with throttle return as I always had both the throttle pull (A) and push (B) (or vice versa) cables installed.

I replaced the throttle spring with OEM and man, it is way to stiff.

Hurts my wrist after 25 miles or so.

Take the new spring out, stretch it to about 7-8 inches, and put it back in. Be sure to retain the rubber collar, too, as it acts like a cruise control assist, a little bit.

Every time I ride more than 100 miles!

about 200k's without stopping is enough on my little bikey, have to stop and get gas then anyway.

Mine does pretty well, all things considered, for a 40+ year old bike.  My other main bike is a 2005 Kawasaki Concours, and although it's the clear winner in the long distance comfort department, the CB is a more enjoyable ride sometimes because it's way lighter (120 pounds).  The other main differences that I feel on long distance rides, is the angle I have to keep my legs at on the Honda vs. the Concours (which has lowered footpegs), and there's a little bit more "buzz" in the footpegs on the Honda.  Both have NEP throttle locks on them.
