Just use simple white paper sticker labels, easier to write on with a sharpy and although they might get dirty, way more easier to read, also they don't wrinkle as much as the bags themselves, so it's easier to find stuff when digging in to a tub or parts. TIP: use different colors for different parts, black for general, red for left, blue for right for instance, etc.
I'm slowly building myself up to rebuild my CB750... a quick strip and rebuild, turned into a strip and wait 15ish years, move house 2 times, finish a load of other projects, before now having the time and cash to contemplate reassembly. Mines a 1983 F2, not sure if I'm going to keep standard, or go a subtle restomod look... the only nonstandard thing currently is a single piece cast wheel, and not the original comstars. Enjoying the videos!
For small parts, cheap takeaway food containers work well and can be cleaned and reused. Bigger stuff cases, heads, etc. Could be crates again, easy to clean and reuse and labeled with duct tape.
Love that red tint between the cooling rims, subtle but cool. Would be nice to also use that color/a fade effect with it in the paintjob, tying it all together.

The engine looks awesome Dan. I use the green tape method, you can always see what was written on it. You could also gets some brown paper wrap the part in the plastic bag , then write on the paper. It will also stop the label falling off, which has happened to me.
I use those disposable ‘Chinese’ takeaway containers and write on the lid. You can buy bulk amounts from like The Dollar Shop and cheap shops like that
Hey , I watch your videos and they are so insightful . I am in a bit of a pickle and would appreciate your help . I have my sights on a cb900 hornet that i'd like to work on starting by changing the front forks into inverted ones ...and I really like the ones you have installed on the cb750( gold)!!. Ive watched a lot of videos trying to understand which setup(R1/zx10/gsxr750/cbr1000rr) works best for the cb900...which have confused me more . I also need to know what the setup should include : front forks with the tyre rim ..or just the front forks (incase there are some that fit the old rim and discs). I understand that I'll need to use the old stem to attach the forks to the frame (mostly machine remove and press again ) ..what I'd like to learn is ,by fabricating the diameters of the plates(top and bottom ) , for the forks to fit in.. would it affect the overall handling performance ?? Also , how do we fix the top plate ( key fob ) , if the stem diam is less than that of the one within the plate ?? lastly : 2 things :- I'd really be grateful if you could recommend the clip-ons that are a exact match for the forks AND ..if you could do a detailed video of hot to install inverted forks ..that'd be brilliant for a lot ( and I mean a lot ) of people struggle with installing those !! eagerly waiting for your reply . Thankyou.
You're a bit of an expert on these bikes. Bought a CB750 RC42 to restore after watching your videos. Just need to get in the garage and start pulling it apart now. After a bit of advice if possible, so the engine I found out after buying it has done over 60k miles. Would you be doing a full engine strip down and rebuild as standard for peace of mind on an engine with this mileage? Or would you see how it runs first before spending the time/energy? Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for the Vid - I own two CB750's ( his and hers) and do the maintenance in CT/USA. btw: I do not see Gasket cement included such as at 5:58 - plz explain - thanks ! Also the Clutch Basket has Grommets - did you account for them ?
64.5mm 900F pistons in 750 motor makes 810cc, 65mm is 822cc the flywheel rotor can have the wedge of material removed to also improve throttle response an the bike runs great with the 900 cams
Did u vapour blast the main brg bores I would personally treat them as sacred because tests have shown that vapour blasting changes the dimensions slightly ! What did u find with that knock? Was a big end flogged out ? How was the crank? Is the engine running a 750 head on a 900 cylinder? If that’s the case I’d say the comp ratio will b right up there. U might get knocking on our crap gas or run an additive ?

Hi Dan, with the zip lock bags, i put a piece of masking tape on them and write on that lasts for years.
Great! 👍🏻
Greetings from a German Grannie who rode for 19 years such a machine (K6 from 1976) built in a H7 Chopper by Customizer AME 😍
always enjoy your vis mate. I'm unable to get in the shed as I now have a 1 month old. Good to vicariously live through your videos.
For small parts, cheap takeaway food containers work well and can be cleaned and reused. Bigger stuff cases, heads, etc. Could be crates again, easy to clean and reuse and labeled with duct tape.
I particularly like the red paint between the fins, I’ve never seen that done before and it looks amazing. Good job, well done Dan.
Love that red tint between the cooling rims, subtle but cool. Would be nice to also use that color/a fade effect with it in the paintjob, tying it all together.
Lable the parts on an Index card an put them in the bag with the parts. That's what I do. Works great.
@@evelysdiaz6101 thank you mate. Great idea

Excellent video Dan. Job well done mate, motor looks sweet. I thank I've got to get me an engine stand. Ride safe and take care. Cheers
One of your best videos yet. Great stuff.
Thanks bro 😎 I appreciate the feedback and extra set of hands

Nice job, Dan. I reckon AM would approve, apart from the lack of cake...

great job lad looks mint

I like to use the zip lock freezer bags, they're thicker and have a spot specifically for writing on with a sharpie.
Painters tape, and sharpies. I do it all the time.

Looks boss!

But can you build a cbx 1000 ... that is the question .... N be ready to build like 4-5 like professional build!?

I put a strip of painters tape on the front of the bags I use.
deli containers with some painters tape
I use 40 mm wide green masking tape on the bags and write on that rarely fails
@@karlvanboxel561 great idea. Thank you
I'm just doing a strip down of my Kawasaki Zephyr, found some horrific stuff in the engine.
Videos to follow 👍

You can rebuild any engine
Label printer....cheap and stick them to the baggies
