Well the CB750 is finally getting some TLC & work in the known problem areas, new front end is coming along nicely including twin Lockheed 4 fin calipers & thanks to Karl, a suitable master cylinder.
The new CR Round slides arrived :kuda: throttle hand is going to love these 8)

Are those carbs adjustable in width to fit the different spacing (inlet spacing) on different engines? They appear to have bolts and a slotted bar that runs between each carb. if so would love to know what model they are and where to buy them.

thanks

The can also supply the jet kits & in some cases the inlet manifolds as well, they had this set delivered in under a week from the states, via post :shock:

Time for an update, I have been busy with the 750, she has been fitted with a set of GL1000 tripple trees & fork legs to make room for the new brakes 8)
I have had to make up disk spacers in 8mm aluminium & the caliper brackets in 10mm aluminium cut on a signage router, add to that the Grimeca master cylinder from Stevo & the conversion is complete!
I have re jetted the new CR carbs so all thats left to do is fix the tacho, paint the seat & tank & wire up the oil light & It will be ready for the chrissy track day, cant wait!

Nice Rob! Just had an interesting thought, would it be possible to put the 750 on the road, and think it would make a good roadie? :)

Its been totally stripped & allot of the brackets are missing Tim, this one will always be a race bike, the CB750 are pretty popular as cafe racers / road hacks & there is masses of aftermarket stuff available for them :D

Had the presentations yesterday, one at Woolongong & the other at Eastern Creek :D
I've gotta say that both clubs put on a good shindig, with the NSW Post Classic Racing Association always going for the funny side in proceedings & Annandale Leighchardt Motorcycle Club going for a more intimate close friends party type atmosphere occasion16.gif
So to my shock I ended up getting 1st place in the ALMCC solo championship..... yes they have a few solo members competing but I flogged them in points by running 2 classes at each round :P In PCRA I managed a 2nd place on the CB750 & 3rd place on the CB350..... missed out on a 2nd place by 1 point :twisted: I'm glad I decided to get back into racing, Im having an absolute blast & cant wait till next season as I will be racing the F1 Sidecar as well :kuda:
