current build of mine. have questions for you

Hey guys and gals,

I am currently building a custom 1981 cb750. I am mostly working on the frame, fender, gas tank, and things like that right now. But, I am getting nervous for when it comes to wiring the motor up and making sure it runs. I was just wondering if you guys could help out and point me in the direction of where I can get answers or get the stuff i need. I am not exactly sure if I have all the pieces needed to make it run.

Thanks

Here is a DOHC wiring diagram that might help.

As for connectors, I get the original type connectors from vintage connections. http://www.vintageconnections.com/

Re: current build of mine. have questions for you

thanks for the general wiring TOOLS1. is it difficult to get the motor tuned and running? i currently do not have levers, throttle, controls, airbox (since pods are a no no from what I have read), battery, and a few other things obviously needed. but I am getting worried that this will be a money pit and will not run properly.

we are working on getting everything mounted to the frame and how it will look right now. we have come up with a bobber/cafe racer look to it. (pics will come when it is more complete).

thanks,

ANY insight will help
