Wanted base plate for CB750 carbs

[Lucky 1]

Looking for the base mount plate for 1969-70 CB750 carbs.

Will it interchange with any other years or particular models? I saw this one. Ain't cheap.I have read of some guys using these and chopping off what they dont need.

Thanks for the idea. I did think of that too and I bought that part Yes that ONE.

But before i cut up a good 1972 part There is a forum member on another well known CB750 website that has offered to machine some 1969 mount plates if enough people are interested.

So if YOU are interested please put your name in here and I can add you to the list.
The machinist was talking $40. And there will be a little finishing work left up to you.
I pledged $50. I was hoping for a July 1st date for all the money to be paid or sooner.
That would give members time to budget the money for the part.

Hope this helps someone. Also The handmade part will probably be 6061
and will be much stronger that the cast part.

       Think I seen that plate / bike on s.o.h.c.4 had bunch of holes and screws
      but had to be attached to frame also,thoughs guys have some great work,
      begaining to understand there bad attitudes ,that most have,.

No it is not that plate that we are talking about.

It is the cast aluminum plate that attaches all of the carbs together.

Piute,that plate there is for supporting the back of the carbs when you run pods,since the airbox is not there to hold it up.


Lucky,$40-50 is not a bad price at all for that stay plate you mentioned. He must be CNC'ing those. If I was building those manually,no way I'd sell them that cheap.

Yes you are correct.

 But we need a certain number of orders to make the set up worth while for him.
