Great looking bike, what a transformation, those tank decals were good investment, didn't look quite finished without them. Looking forward to watching what you get up to in 2023. Best wishes for the new year..
Thanks for your comments. I was really pleased with how the stripe and fianl clear coat came out. I am really looking forward to painting my Cafe Racer project, I already have a good idea of the main colour I am going to use, but the details will make all of the difference. Best wishes to you for the New Year.
Hi another cracking video. I have just finished doing a K1. Parts are so expensive. An exhaust now costs around £1850. A total rip off. The price doubled overnight. I don't think I will be doing another one due to the price of the parts. Happy new Year pal
Thanks Cody. Parts for these old bikes are still a lot cheaper than for new stuff. I think it is the 90s and Naughties (no pun intended) that will be the next bargains. Happy New Year to you too!
Nice. Had a 69 Sandcast. What u did was a “refirb” not rebuild. I’m rebuilding a 75 F0. Everything new which pays you back with the new bike feel and performance.
Hey what a great video! Can’t wait to watch all of them. I am considering buying a bit of a project, 1970 CB 750. So your videos will be very helpful! She is candy apple gold and mostly complete, has not ran in 20 years.
Lovely Restoration Sir, I used to own a CB750 Back in 1977 Which was a Gold one, Three year old at the time, Brilliant bike's, I'm still riding motorcycles, I own two Royal Enfield's, An Interceptor 650 and a Hunter 350 Which i love, Great channel, Cheers Paul 👍
Cheers, we use a big 150L compressor made by Wolf Professional. It's a beast for a non-commercial unit, perfect for painting bikes etc. Check it our here, hope that helps: ebay.us/xxiVq8
Just under £6k, the new owner had original pipes and seat, I suspect that he added £4k to the value just by fitting them. I think that was before prices peaked, I suspect they are on the way down at the moment. He has been in touch a few times asking if I was doing any more, he has a bit of a collection. I really miss that bike, I really loved the colour, and it came out so well, but I am always looking for the next project.
Loved the video. I noticed you didn’t show if you cleaned and relined the inside of the fuel tank. I’m sure it was rusty on the inside as well after 50 years. Comments?
Glad you enjoyed the video. If you look at the playlist of videos that I made on this bike, ruclips.net/p/PLZCsrCcblKI_VraTXOO_zF4ZuxQn8DnDB I derusted the tank in episode 13. I hope that gives you the answer to your questions. I am not a fan of liners, mostly because needing to remove them in previous tanks I've worked on. Next time I do one I may look at using electrolysis.
Not only is this a well crafted restoration its a very well crafted video .Do you film and edit by yourself, or is there another player behind the scenes.?

Wow...what a fab restoration of such a 70s Honda CB 750
Classic looks, Retro feel.
Love it..❤
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Turned out to be a really lovely bike.
Love the CB750. Such a great bike and enjoyed watching you bring one back to full glory. Cheers from across the pond in the states!
Glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy working on old bikes, bringing them back from the edge of oblivion :)
Really cool transformation and what a lot of work!
Thanks. The satisfaction of resurection of bikes like this is phenomenal, makes the work all worthwhile.
Thanks for all your videos on CB750's I brought a CB750f Super Sport and have found all your videos such a great help.
Thank's for the comment. I'm glad you have found the videos helpful. CB's are great bikes.
i had a 74 gold, I had the 4 into one pipe, they sound fantastic, the paint and stripes look great.
The 4 into 1 Delkevic sounds great to me too. The pipe I have on my Cafe Racer that I am working on at the moment may be a little too loud though :)
She’s a stunner, looks awesome 🤩
Thanks, I was really pleased at the way the paint worked out.

I’m a spray painter by trade and I think you done a pretty good job 👍
@@mikeymike3240 Thats really encouraging feedback from a real painter, cheers mate 😁

Gas tank is missing the golden stripes!
Wait til the end! 😆
BLOODY BEAUDY BLOKE !
Love it! Thanks.

I would love to get a Sandcast but the price of them has gone insane. Good luck with you FO build.

I hope they are helpful. There is nothing like the excitement of a "new" project. I am still in love with the K0 I'm sure you will love yours.

Hi enjoyed your video ,can I ask what size is your compressor for spraying .
Cheers, we use a big 150L compressor made by Wolf Professional. It's a beast for a non-commercial unit, perfect for painting bikes etc. Check it our here, hope that helps: ebay.us/xxiVq8
Enjoyed this video very much what did the bike sell for if you don't mind me asking?
Just under £6k, the new owner had original pipes and seat, I suspect that he added £4k to the value just by fitting them. I think that was before prices peaked, I suspect they are on the way down at the moment. He has been in touch a few times asking if I was doing any more, he has a bit of a collection.

Cheers pal, that's very kind of you to say. All filmed and edited in-house. Always enjoy learning new skills. 👍
Overall a good job.... but why you didnt paint the front caliper black?
It was on the list, but never got to it. Maybe on the next one :)
I can't believe you don't have the lash adjustment tool with the socket and screwdriver in one.
See previous answer. I really do need to sort all my old tools out :)
Just heard you guys on motorcycles and misfits
I love M&Ms it's a great podcast. Glad you enjoyed the tale of our trip to Southport.
Matchbook covers aren't as readily available these days.
Not sure what you mean?
That was the universal point gap gauge
@@hvymax Ahh I see what you mean! 😂 much rarer to come by as you say
Pity it doesn’t have those 4 x glorious pipes , it’s what made them.
If only they didn't rot away :) and replacements are so dear!
modern bikes suck , big time
Ha, give me points and carbs, more breakdowns, but at least you stand a chance of fixing it if it does!!!
