    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I had a bad experience with Works ??? I had a set of shocks from my 850 that I physically took to their shop and left for repair. The seals were leaking bad... They called me and said they were not rebuild able that the bodies were cracked.. Maybe I'm wrong I think one of the employees wanted them for their own project..

I had a 75 sohc 750 F model does that count
 
Got the engine cleaned up, painted and back in the frame :)

Looks like new, Peter.
All paint, no ceramic coating?
Did you make the bracketry for the Earls?
If you get a chance can you post a pic of it.
 
Very clean, that engine looks fantastic! Not that the rest of the build is weak, you have great attention to detail.

Hi Steve - all paint on the engine. The ignition and alternator covers are polished and the valve cover is powdercoated.

I'd like to claim I fabricated the oil cooler bracket, but I purchased it as a complete kit from Japan. I think there are some closer up photos of the cooler and mount in my Photobucket album. If they don't show you what you need, let me know and I'll get you some photos and/or measurements.
 
Those are gorgeous. And they're not too expensive to buy either, at least for now. I bet they go up in value in a few years. The 79 and above CB750K was also very pretty in a classical way and I had my eye on a few of them this summer. Lovely lines, four pipes and wire wheels. Maybe next year....

Not mine:

I freakin love that thing. On the way home from work a couple days ago and there was one on a trailer being towed so I had to ask and was informed he just picked it up and it was not for sale bummer.

Is that a Marving pipe on there? I've only used their chromed 4-1s on my bikes - if it is one of theirs I would be interested in what you think of the black finish.

Good eye - yep, it's a Marving 4-1. Not the most common system over here, but it came with the bike when I bought it. The system was new and still in the wrapper - I never opened it until a couple of weeks ago and I assumed the whole time that it was a chrome system. I was surprised and pleased to discover it was a black version instead. Finish looks good and seems durable - time will tell;

Its not a 650. Its a 750 Nighthawk. They never made a DOHC motor as a 650, at least none that ever came to Canada. Its also not a CBX, its a CB model. There were only two CBX models that I'm aware of, the six cylinder 1000 and a 550. The seller is wrong in the title.

Wrong again, Batman. Do a little research, apparently a Canadien model but certainly there WAS a CBX650 made by Honda in 82-85, just not released in the states!
