I owned one of these and it was honestly one of the best bikes I had, all the good of the CB900F with a smoother more reliable engine. Will definitely be looking for one when as a possible next acquisition. (this is my bike from the 80's not a great pic!)

A good day today working on the 750F, the previous owner had changed the bank of carbs on the bike as the original carbs had pressed in slow speed jets ( same as the superdream). Later models had removable slow speed jets so he fitted a bank of these carbs. as the bike wasn’t running I decided to clean and set up the original bank of carbs. I found a great pdf on line on how to strip clean rebuild and set up the carbs. As they are similar to the sd it is well worth a read. www.cb750c.com/publicdocs/SeanG/Honda_Carb_Manual_revG.pdfSo 6 hours later the original carbs are back on and the bike starts and runs spot on 👌. Next job to tackle was the brakes which were seized.

Hi Mark, it’s on the ramp at the moment with the centre stand down as I’m taking wheels off for new rubber. Not sure if you can use these, I’ll take one once I’ve got new tyres fitted and bikes off the centre stand.
