Hi to all of the Hondamataic group members! I recently purchased a 1978 CB750 Hondamatic and curently working on it to have her running this spring. So here is...
Hi Mark, You don't say what your time is worth, or how much time it would take to "pick it up," and though I am not an expert, in my never to be humble...
...I guess it depends on which "common parts" you are talking about. Things like wheels, chain, pegs ect. will def exchange. Carbs and internals on the...
Thanks for the advice..... It's a 12 hour trip to his house so I have a better idea know if I'm picking up this bike as parts or a future project.(Wife will...
...ahhh...now that changes things a bit...12 hrs ain't just right around the corner...nothing like a road trip for a bike though... J. Mark Locklear ...
I gotta agree with Mark - "...I guess it depends on which "common parts" you are talking about. Things like wheels, chain, pegs ect. will def exchange." And...
Hi Ken, I'll take that bet! I seriously doubt that 90% of the parts on a 750A will exchange with a 750K. I almost always agree with your posts, but not this...
I am close to putting my 77/78 A back together, I would say a maybe 75% of the bike is the same. Different tank, rear brake control and that parking brake...
Jamie, I think you're talking about the "change" relay. It uses inputs from the speed warning unit and shifter change switch to control the solenoid...
Got to ask what the Speed Warning unit is? Something in the speedo unit or??? Sorry but this is my first Automatic. This bike was running before I started the...
There is also an opto-electric switch in the speedo that enables this kick-up solinoid only when the speed is below about 10 MPH. Mine went bad and I had to...
The speed unit is mounted on the backbone under the fuel tank. It gets a speed signal from the speedometer to indicate when the bike reaches 20mph. The '76...
Thanks for all the quick answers. I did fix the brakes, the rear was rusted and loaded with years of road grime. I pulled it apart and cleaned and lubed it, I...
Jamie, What year is your parts bike? I'm in the process of putting my '77 back together and I need a good seat. I don't suppose you have an extra one laying...
Hi Paul, Sorry I don't have a seat for you (I had a 78 parts bike, now I have a 77), I am in the same boat kind-of. You may have seen the seat I am crafting...
Good afternoon! I am considering selling my '77 CB750A. It is in decent shape, but has been sitting for almost a year. The major problem with it is the heads ...
<signe morefield wrote: name your price> I was looking to get $500 in it's current state should I choose to sell it. We are supposed to experience rain tonight...
hi! Does anyone here knows the original paint color code (or current color match) and manufacturer for the 1977 CB750A? I plan to repaint mine and would like...
Hello, As I understand it,the paint color is called Candy Alpha Red,it is a 2 step process using Light Gray Basecoat (UC-16-117)and Candy Matador Red...
How to I get both throttle cables on? It seems that if one is on I can't get the other one on because it pulls it from the carb end, likewise if I put them...
....i went to change my oil & filter today,...mainly because the filter gasket and 'O' ring was leaking. It seems that the newer filters dont come with the...
-I feel your pain ! I had the same problem,...my memory is not too good,...but, I had to take my Dremel tool and cut off maybe 3/8" - 1/2" of the outer housing...
Michael, When I replaced my cables, I hooked them up to the grip end first. Then I hook the return cable up to the carbs,then with one hand,I hold the carbs...
