Hello, new here. I picked up this 1980 CB750K last year with plans to rebuild it into a cafesque, brat bike. I'm using at as a learning tool with my limited mechanical skills. I've tinkered with diesels and my cars but nothing major and nothing with motorcycles.
When I bought it I got it to run but it had a decent tap in the low end, I adjusted the cam tension and it got better but still had a tap. Shortly after that the starter switch quit working. Now I've decided I will replace the wiring harness as it is thrashed and rigged in a few locations. This last week I received my Clymer's manual and began tearing the motor apart along with other things I plan on replacing or leaving out.
When I pulled the oil filter I found a good amount of metal shavings, so tearing into this motor will reveal how bad it is.
Looking through some similar projects on here has got me wondering a few things, where do you hide the battery? And If I were to go with rear sets, is the bracket for the passenger pegs and exhaust mount still required? I have little to no fabrication skills so alot of that is going to be with alot of help from here and from friends of mine.
