No build thread, brief description of my CB750K6 -76 project back to lifeMy bike ended up in a much longer project as intended.
I was sure that I had rather clear plan what needed to do after the bike has been
stored in a barn since 1990, to my garage sept 2009.I was completely wrong!I had no thoughts about all nice restorations and modification I should see and read about here on these forums.
Plus all very skilled and interested guys that brings tons of information. It is dificult to stop modding the bike!
I have parts for another project, a K2-75. I have also some NOS parts for my K6. Maybe too good to be used, Seat, fenders, tacho&speedo, bar around seat, rear lamp + new replica parts for OEM looking front-end.
I pulled engine 2010 when I was curious about the status. Project started 2012 when I started to work with the engine.
The entire bike apart spring 2013 when frame has to be sandblasted and painted 2k black. Engine together summer 2013 and bike completed fall same year, first version.
2014: Bike on the roadI spent long time with various problems never seen before on this bike, carb tuning with all problems possible, ignition caused by new Dyna wire with intermittent function and old front brake.
Tested different cams. Bike has frame kit so change cam is easy.
There are several replacements and improvements thanks to this forum, such as relays, Pamco with short lived coils, Dyna-S ignition with Dyna 5 ohm coils finally replaced by Points and Hondaman ignition module still Dyna coils..
2015: All intitial problems solved, IKON shocks replaced the old Marzocchi and new carbs. Better body set in Freedom Green Metallic under a short time soon replaced by a new set in Candy Sapphire Blue and finalized that year with 4-4 exhaust HM300 replica.
More cam tests during the season.
2016: More engine impovements with less time on the street 2016. Dual front brakes. Began the engine rebuild earlier with balanced and lightened crank with Carillo rods,
2016-2017: JMR Billet block with 71.25mm pistons (1005cc), head job (again) now with 5mm valve kit, still 34mm in valves and additional fine porting. Stronger starter motor (CB900).
Some photos of how bike looked when I brought it home and each year of progress. I should have started a build thread if I knew how much I should work and change. That thread should be very long and with hundreds of photos.
Edit: Added the barn photo before taking it out into the sunshine and washing it. The dust is mostly chicken #$%*.
