I have a few more little things to do on the bike and then I can fire it up again, but I am glad that I persisted and continued to clean this big 4 machine up and its looking pretty cool as it stands right now.

She does sit at the right height now, as I have fitted the correct size tire in the rear, I need to clean up the gear shift cover and will do that this week, as well as the sprocket cover, this bike has many New parts on now, I would like to repaint the tank and side covers but no time at present and I have many other motorcycles to build, this is the original Candy Antares Red livery.

The exhaust system fitted really well, I am a dealer for this system and they come direct from Japan with the baffles included but not the heat shields, but I was super stocked at the fit of these and the chrome looks amazing.

I used New spigots and New flange clamps to set the pipes off, would seem sacrilegious to go any other way as the original ones were rusted and looking worse for wear, this is a nice fresh factory look i believe and super glad that I went this route. Not cheap by any standards, but chewap will not last so buy right and you will see the benefits further on in time compared with inferior copies of this system.

I have always loved the look of inline four machines and the Honda was such a popular choice back in the UK when I was a Teenager, I have had so many Honda’s in my life and continue to work or build them in my barn.

I did buy an aftermarket rear fender as the original was quite bad in the way of rusty deposits, but the aftermarket version that I paid $200 was utter rubbish and got my money back, so invest the $400 and  stripped and chromed the original fender and bought a New tail light assembly, sure looks nice now.

I have also fitted a New seat, the other one was ok but I wanted a fresh look and thought I may as well get another new unit to complete the bike and give it the right ride height, these bikes were a tall ride and have to be honest was surprised the Japanese Public could ride these as I am 5″11 and am tippy toed when sat upon this bike.

Sure, there are many more little things I can do to this machine but my plan was not to restore the bike to its New appearance in 1976, but to give it a fresh look from a sad and tired past of sitting in a garden to the elements for many years, but this will be for sale, I think $5000 is a fair price and, if I do more work, of course the price goes up, the exhaust system alone was $1600.

New Grips and Levers and cables etc help this old Lady become young again and of course I fitted stock mirrors for that 1970’s vibe and takes me back to my last years at school when I first saw a Red CB750K coming down the road.

The bike sits well and I removed the main stand and powder coated it and fitted brand New Genuine Honda hardware, I wanted to use the main stand as many have been removed over the years, plus it makes it so much easier to remove the rear wheel or chain etc.

The New tire and tube feels great, with New original DID rim and polished Hub with new internals and New brake shoes, Rod and actuator, this is a super set up and the New rear shock absorbers are the correct models for that ride height of 1976.

New footpegs and New Old Stock Brake pedal and New old Stock Kickstarter help clean this five hundred pound 2 wheeled Classic Thorobred up and give it a new lease of life, hoping that you are liking what I have accomplished on this 50 year old Motorcycle.

I took this out of the Original bag, cost me over $150 but its the Original and stoked that I located one not too far from me so there are some neat touches to this Motorcycle that you may enjoy looking at.

Now, the Carburettors are completely rebuilt, synchronized and are attached to genuine Honda NOS intake boots, I have old 1976 Velocity stacks on the bike but do have the original Airbox for the old girl. And also I fitted a New Clutch Cable and Covers too, Just have to fit a bolt in bottom points cover today.

The rear wheel is all rebuilt with New spokes and new bearings too, New chain and sprockets is a must and she really is a Classy looking bike, not yet found the title but am looking for it, I think the original owner has title and I have recently corresponded with him, so he may find it, if not I will sell with a Bill of sale as its been off the system for many years.

It does need a New front tire and I may fit another later on as I go along, but right now she looks really good and wanted to show the machine on my website as many people have been asking about the old girl.

Thanks for looking and I will continue playing with this CB750K until she sells, but of course, the More I work on it, the more the price will increase, but I do enjoy reviving these inline four beauties and hope you have enjoyed the pics and write up on this Japanese Iconic bike.
