This is a work in progress but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will make another post when it it is finished.
I decided to move the pictures to my Google drive for people to view. I live in Cheyenne WY and bought this bike from a man in Leadville CO for about $500.00 and it will be the last CB750 that I will restore. It just costs too much to restore the CB750 Honda. This one must have been sitting outside for decades as I have never had a project bike so hard to disassemble. It was like everything had fused together. I had a lot of trouble dealing with one large main bearing bolt that snapped off in the block. Had to drill it out and repair it, but I am confident this is like new again. Some of the parts were beyond repair like the seat. It was in the worst condition of any bike I have restored and many people would have junked it. I rebuilt the original engine with parts from a low mileage wrecked 1975 CB750F engine. This engine had a hole in the side and water damage in one cylinder but the lower end was in amazing condition. I cleaned up the original head and sent it to a motorcycle machine shop in Oregon and they rebuilt it. I was glad to replace the 1971 engine parts with ones from a 1975 model because Honda made several improvements over time. I installed new pistons, cam chain, primary chains, seals and used a R2 cam from a 1972 CB750. The earlier cams were hotter than the later and I had several to choose from in my pile. I also used heavy duty studs which was one of the weak components in the engine design. I used my ultrasonic cleaner to clean the cases so it was spotless when it went back together. I rebuilt the gauges and set the odometer to 0000. The tank was in bad shape and my brother supplied one in good condition. The carbs were completely stuck and had to be soaked for days to get anything to move. Everything was difficult. I bought a new swing arm off of eBay and rebuilt it with new bearings. I had the tail light bracket re-chromed and bought new fenders. to make it look great again. New no number pipes (HM300) for this bike cost me $1600.00 plus shipping.
Here are a few more details but I cannot begin to tell you everything as this bike has taken a lot of time and money.
1. Wheels: I installed new spokes, rims, wheel bearings, brakes, tires and other components to make them like new.
2. Frame: cleaned, sanded and painted.
3. New handlebars with new controls.
4. I made several parts with my 3D printer and they worked great.
5. New wiring harness and I disassembled it to solder all connections. They make them poorly and only crimp the wires together so it is best to solder everything. Very time consuming.
6. New chain and sprockets.
7. New cables.
8. New clutch plates.
9. New electronic ignition,spark plug wires and coils.
10. All new electronic components.
11. New seat foam and cover.
12. I rebuilt the foot pegs.
Ok, finally the link to the pictures.
