Back in the fold. New to me 77 cb750f *need parts*
« on: September 18, 2018, 07:04:54 AM »
Picked up a freebie basket case. "Ran when parked"...12years ago . Pics later. Just excited. Finished a cb500t last week...now I have a cb750 to plug away on. Woohoo

As I said in the title...I need parts. Willing to trademy new parts for your cb750f parts. Anything on www.fb-stuff.com is up for trade....

Ha. First thing I did was a fitcheck. How the heck do you post pics in the threads now? Photobucket is dead. Been a long time off the forum. Feel like a newb

I just upload directly from my phone or hard drive. You just need to make sure the resolution isn't too high so the file stays under 2mb per photo.

here is the cb500 I just finished. All it needs to be complete are the 2 screws that hold the seat strap. It is the little things that drive you crazy.

 I just landed a 78F today. It needs sidecovers, hmm. I wonder where to look?

 I have an extra 750F windjammer bracket! Just kidding, no I really do, but kidding you might need one. I used to make mufflers for the 75/76 F exhaust. Slash cut 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" X 18" not beautiful but sound awesome. Used a glasspack from a cobra sidepipe.   I may see if I can source parts to make a muffler for the 77/78 header, the collector is way smaller. 
 Let us know what you need.

I might be interested in the Vetter bracket Don. No so that I can mount a Vetter on my F, but to adapt one of my CBX style Hondaline fairings.

 I have one for you Danny. I even considered putting on just the top part of the mount with T bolt clamps to strengthen the frame. Not for long but I considered it lol. One of the guys may stop by to pick up a jammer on his way home from Chicago.
