CB750K4 restoration

Very nice Get it finished ready for Mallory this weekend.

All done

Is that a Delkevik exhaust?

Yes it is, it sounds great too! I was never a big fan of the original 4 into 4 pipes and they are so expensive to replace anyway... the delkevic was less than 300 quid and is full stainless steel,

I thought so Rob. Just fitted one to my CB900F to replace a shonky Moterd

A rare genuine Giuliari seat in perfect condition, snagged from Germany.....can’t believe i managed to get one

Looks sweet Rob, look forward to seeing it in the metal

Cheers !! Looking forward to meeting up and getting out for a rideout. I may have to bring the H*nd* on an official 2 stroke run at some point..... and ride at the back

I’ll bring the CB900F if I ever get it finished. We can be outcasts together

CB900F , now there is one of my all time favourite bikes.... i would say the best bike you could have in the 80’s... def look forwad to seeing that, but i wont be trying to keep up

Getting there

Looks awesome...nice colour too

Thanks Rob.
The paint work isn't very good, especially as I dropped something on the tank!
Just need to stop a carb from pissing fuel out of the overflow and it'll be test ride time.

Good stuff.. soon be spring, get that pipe howling

ive just read this nobby/rob, well done, but I think you are lucky in that it was in decent nick before you started and so don't deserve any credit until it gets old and rusty and you restore it properly next time in approx. 40-50 years time.

what is it like to ride in comparison to your rd250?

on my rd350 back in the 70's I could get that far ahead of them on the twisty bits that it didnt matter about the extra 10-15mph they had in top speed so back then I thought they were a bit boring

but as ive aged I can appreciate the beauty in them but am far too scared to attempt a classic 4 stroke rebuild

my zx6r is 19 yrs old and I might have a go at minting that it will still do over 160 so it seems mad taking it to bits


serious question - cos im about to restore a rusty bike - when you got the bits powder coated who blasted them? and why didn't you get the frame powder coated?

The cb is great fun to ride.. it sounds great with the 4into1, bit bigger and heavier than the rd but not much faster.. I didn’t powder coat because my original intention was to just touch up the frame...but by the time i had primered a few areas i decided to do the rest.... Old honda’s are great fun, always loved the 750 emgine....

not wishing to thread jack but I have a French moped with rusty frame and mudguards (painted not chrome) and wondered whether to paint or powder coat them and what prepping I need to do first to get rid of rust. shag and his vapour blasting? or rust treatment out of a tin?

Take them to the powder coaters

do they strip them as well? these are half old paint half rust

Yes they do. LSN coating at Cas do. There'll be one in Hull I dare say Al.

im thinking it might be best to paint it now
then if I get any chips I can touch it up
