Hey all my name is Adam

This is my custom 1984  DOHC cb750 chopper



Custom built frame based on a swedish gooseneck frame
80 spoke wheels
Springer forks
Plus lots more trick bits

The problem I have now is that I can no longer use the standard airbox, so..... I have fitted pods

I know what your going to say, they wont run right, but I have no choice with this one, so I have rejetted the carbs now to a 75 and 110 as described on alot of peoples posts

Then when I took it for her maiden voyage, it would not rev above about 6k, and then started to rattle and knock at top end, so I turned around and headed home, but by the time I got home the knocking was worse and had next to no power.

Has anyone got any ideas of what it could be before I start to strip it down??

If you need any more info please let me know as I need to get it fixed

Thanks in adavance
