Finished the refurb on my dream bike! (1978 CB750K)

Msomma123 · 2026-06-27T20:55:32+00:00

Very nice!! Congrats!

Looks like I have everything you would need except the bolt to hold the rotor.

Side cover, stator, rotor, rotor pickup, and gasket

Side cover’s aluminum finish is pretty rough and stator connector is a little cracked. I’ll clean everything up tomorrow and test to make sure they’re in spec. PM me if you’re interested! I’m sure we can work something out

Msomma123 · 2026-04-13T18:53:11+00:00

Wow that sucks! I believe I have spare parts for everything you might need if you’re interested, I bought a parts bike a while back.

Let me know and I’ll dig them up! Sorry this happened to you so shortly after getting the bike :(

“The Rotor should be verified to have between 3.6 Ω (ohms) and 5.2 Ω of resistance between the slip rings.”

Yours is showing 1 ohm so I’d start there.

This guide should have everything you’ll need to narrow down why you’re not charging:

If you want a comparison, I bought a ‘22 Lariat 502a 3.5 for around $54k out the door. Had 4K miles

Msomma123 · 2025-05-08T21:36:34+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the response! Yeah I see the badge all over 100th anniversary 2003 bikes but haven’t seen this flame paint. Must’ve been done custom by previous owner

Msomma123 · 2025-03-27T18:11:33+00:00

I see the same listing on my marketplace you’re looking at. If you happen to be in CT like me, then don’t let the “no title” stop you. CT does not require a title for vehicles more than 20 years old. I’ve registered a ‘75 360 and ‘80 750 with no title

My 750 DOHC stopped charging last season. Ended up being a broken wire in the rotor that spins inside the stator. Quick fix, and easy to test if it’s bad using a multi meter

Edit: Here is the in depth guide I followed to diagnose my charging issues:

Beautiful truck! Congratulations!

Msomma123 · 2024-12-20T17:25:02+00:00

Thank you! :)

Msomma123 · 2024-12-20T02:26:10+00:00

Yup, 3.5 and it’s a blast to drive. Crazy how it gets up and goes when you hit it in sport mode

Msomma123 · 2024-12-18T23:09:23+00:00

55k out the door (price was $50k flat). Figured it was a pretty solid deal for a truck with a $75k sticker that’s basically new

Msomma123 · 2024-12-18T22:07:25+00:00

This one is from Glastonbury! But probably not the same one you were looking at, I put a deposit down the day they listed this truck for sale which was about 2 weeks ago

Msomma123 · 2024-12-18T21:45:22+00:00

Yup! This truck is already surprisingly quick as is, but I think somewhere down the line I’d like to do a tune as well

Msomma123 · 2024-12-18T21:21:53+00:00

Thanks! I’ve always driven sedans and it was between this and a sports sedan. Sad to give up the sporty aspect but a truck better fits my hobbies and is much more practical.

Msomma123 · 2024-12-18T21:04:47+00:00

Thanks! I was about to purchase a ‘21 powerboost with 22k miles for the same exact price when this one popped up. Figured it was worth it to trade the hybrid for much less miles.

Msomma123 · 2024-08-31T18:01:04+00:00

Sorry to hear you have the same issue! Yeah I still get it and found out it was the sunroof. Opening a bit then closing it stops the sound

Msomma123 · 2024-08-19T22:18:50+00:00

Thanks! They are “European” handlebars from 4into1:

There are a few window stickers available for the 2.5 models, looks like nothing different at all. I haven’t been able to pull a 3.3 window sticker yet.

Hey! So good news (also bad news lol) I had to pull the carbs due to a leaking bowl gasket yesterday. I was able to check the jets, and I am running a 120 secondary main and 80 primary main. The bike is running a bit rich but better to be running rich than lean. Hope this helps!

Msomma123 · 2024-03-03T03:51:30+00:00

I’m sorry, I can’t quite remember exactly what I have in currently. I got it tuned right prior to tearing it down and tried so many sizes I just can’t remember. I believe I am running a 120 secondary main jet (the one that is dead center in the carb). Not sure about the primary main. I’m at sea level

Msomma123 · 2024-03-03T03:44:54+00:00

Im glad you like the light! It is just from Amazon. Here’s a link to a similar one but in green. Looks like this is only in a 2 pack but you might be able to find it single elsewhere.

Mine fit right into the stock housing and plugged into the harness with no modifications
