    Oh yeah, CB750 projects. I’d doll one up as a touring bike of the era. Windjammer fairing, saddle bags, rear trunk and/or rack. Extra points for malaise beige or brown. Obviously for a bike of this age, you take what you can get that’s in decent shape.

    Breaks my heart that I didn't even try unfreezing the engine off my 350 scrambler back on the 90s....and went ahead and swapped it out for a 305, which bolted right up and ran good.

    ‘They are heavy’…never a truer word was said. I tore a tendon lifting my ‘79 CB750 by hand. I invested in an engine crane/hoist after that.

    Good project motor. If you’re going to unstick it you might want to take the rocker covers off. Unless I’m going to immediately run the motor I take the head off and unstick it in that state. Saves on finding unobtainable parts in the long run.

    I've always felt the SOHC 750 Four was the coolest looking motorcycle engine ever made. A close second was the CBX. Hate to see those busted cooling ribs. Never did a bike engine sound better, especially with the original oem 4 into 4 exhaust.. New sub.

    Heres an issue to be aware of with these honda 4s. Sticking valves. I have seen this happen more than once when these engines have been sitting for awhile. Fires up fine , then bang valve through a piston. Best option , firstly make sure piston is down then whack each valve with a hammer , to be sure that each valve goes fully down and returns again. Just winding it over is not enough, when it gets to high revs that valve may go down just a little further and stick.
