Hey, all. I recently took on a very cool project but have a question. A friend acquired a hill-climb trike. Its a cb750 motor and partial frame, with a four-wheeler rear half. The thing is about nine feet long and very neat. But the number 2 carb overflowed and the bike caught on fire destroying all the wiring in the middle of the harness. I have just about finished rewiring the bike but there are a few wires dangling with no homes. i got online to find a wiring schematic but here's my issue. The engine is stamped cb750E. The last numbers of the vin are 76 so I assume this is the year since none of the other numbers would make any sense at all. I did some poking around but can't find models other than the K, F and A. Anyone have any knowledge of this? And, if so, would the wiring be the same throughout the different models? The ONLY thing I could find online was a page with pics of E-stamped motors with bikes that were called "The French Connection". Maybe built for sale in France? I have no idea. I also found that the E engines were sand-cast, but that could be the same for all the models. Any ideas?
