HONDA CB750K0 1969 video

At the beginning this blog was supposed to be about the Honda CB750 more than anything else. In the meanwhile it became more of a biker blog and not a “machine” related one. But I give you now a video with a superb Honda CB750K0 from 1969:

Why do I love my CB750?

I was adding some pictures to the latest bikes specs I’ve put on the blog, when I found this:

That’s a ’69 CB750 – the gran gran father of my CB750 Nighhawk. It makes my heart go faster.

Brian Piersol contacted me asking for information on a Honda CB750 Nighthawk backrest – that’s how I’ve realized the link on my Honda dedicated site was obsolete. Following my answer, Brian found another place where you can shop for the Nighthawks backrest, windshild and engine guards. These go very well with the Corbin seat for the Honda CB 750 Nighthawk.

If you are wondering how the entire set is looking on an actual bike, here it is a picture with my bike.

Honda parts: exhaust for the Honda CB750 Nighthawk or SevenFifty

admin — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:54:47 +0000

One of the original thoughts I had when I’ve started the Honda Motorcycles blog was that I will be able to build a good database of knowledge about Honda bikes, parts and accessories. I now realize my goals were set too high – that’s not a one man job.

I can however share information that I gather on my journey as a biker. This time I’m prepared to talk about the Honda CB750 Nighthawk or SevenFifty exhaust. The CB750 history goes back to ’69, but I will focus on the 1991 – 1993 & 1995 – 1999 models – as I have a 93 in my garage. Now, the exhaust is amongst the only things that went completely wrong on the bike, everything else being in a relative good state. As the bike has been discontinued for some years now, it’s a little bit harder to find the right exhaust for it. For Europe, I found the following providers:

IXIL SILENCERS - part no H1918 RIGHT & H1919 LEFT, only the end canisters, chromed steel – looking very close to the originals.
Address:

To Mr. W.A.W. Bull

Barracuda Exhausts – part no 1017 – 4 into 1, looking a little strange to me, but if you don’t need the original look, it might work. Here is the buy link.
Address:

Telefon: 0251-962540
Telefax: 0251-96254-44
Laser exhausts, the Jama Original series, looking good, but they never reply their emails so it’s impossible to buy. (If they will ever read this, I would like to let you know that you lost a sale)
Address:
JAMA Engineering BV.
Boonsweg 85
3274 LH Heinenoord
The Netherlands

There are a few more suppliers in US and Canada, so if you would like to have something added here, let me know.

PS: Vance and Hines also do a good exhaust, but I’ve contacted them and said they are not producing this part anymore? Strange, because I’ve saw it in a shop. (Maybe because I’m from Romania?)

Repair manual for Honda cb750 Nighthawk

admin — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 11:44:45 +0000

I must admit that although I like working on my CB75o Nighthawk, I’m not the most brilliant technical guy. In a way, not knowing how to work on your bike is not necessarily a big problem, unless you start taking the parts out and never know how to put them back and you’re left without working bike.

That’s why I really needed a repair book for my old CB750 that is easy enough, including detailed pictures on the most usual operations you could perform in the backyard. There aren’t many manuals around for this particular bike, but lucky enough, the one that there is, is very good: Honda: Cb750 Nighthawk, 1991-1993 and 1995-1999 (Clymer Motorcycle Repair Manuals) I’ve already did some maintenance on the bike using the book: changing the chain and sprockets , spark plugs, or oil change. Now I’m heading to front suspension maintenance.

The book is good in 2 ways: 1) parts inventory – you can find what tires, sparks, oil or anything else you could fit on the bike and 2) the pictures help you localize the things on the bike. The repair instructions are step by step, and the good news is that the instruction refer mostly to regular tools available in any garage! So, even if you don’t have specialised tools, you might be able to do most of the operations and save a buck.

The repair manual gets you through the following:

periodic maintenance
engine
clutch and transmission
fuel system
electrical system
wheels, tires and drive chain
front and rear suspension
brakes
body

I’ve picked the book from Amazon, fast and clean delivery, even in Europe.
