'82 CB750 Custom

Nice pickup Crazcnuk.

4 valves/cyl, shims over buckets and chain drive on that one Eh?

[Crazcnuk]

Yeah, the customs don't have that. You adjust them just like the XS. Thier tool looks different, but does the same job.

The PO says it runs good, but he hasn't started it in a long time. The tank has a dent in it, and he says the handlebars got bent when it fell over.

Derwat is in Mexico, so I can't get it in the (heated) garage to start going over it.

I will get some pics shortly.

My night Hawk was a 96. It had the self adjusting valves. Don't know what year they started though.

[Crazcnuk]

What year did they put self adjusting valves on the CB750? From what I have been reading, they use shims and thier own version of the motion pro tool?

I had a CB750-4K back in the late 70s, a '78 I think.

The thing I liked the most about my CB750 was the self adjusting valves. I don't know what year they started this, but when your buddies start playing the "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" crap, just remember it's really "follow the leader, He's on a Honda!"
Congrats on the great find.

Wow Cnuk that is a steal!! Those are very nice bikes. I've owned two of them in the past. No the same power as the XS11, but very smooth cruiser.

Picked up today, free, from the original owner, 23K kms, even came with the owner's manual.

Going to need some tlc, but it's all there.
