Well.....it's been a while, but now the last of the parts are in hand we can get back to ''Project CB750''. It's time to remove the old triple clamp, take a look why it may have failed & fit the new, Genuine Honda, item.
In the video we cover swapping over the clocks, fitting the headlight mounts - no simple task given the info in the Honda Service Manual!
It's slow progress, often the case with old project bikes, but at least we are now going in the right direction!
Check out all the previous Episodes in this Series plus there will be a few more videos on this bike in the future...
Enjoy
Andy

Great video. I agree, those crappy homemade washers have to go.

@daveco1270 2 жыл бұрын

That D washer should be 2mm's thick according to one of my CB750 books. That's the earlier "unicorn" triple tree. Harder to find and more expensive than the later year 750's. Ive been looking for a video to explain how the fork gator goes onto the bottom of that head light fork ear. So glad you made this video. Now I know.

Hi Dave, many thanks for the info on the washer thickness, very much appreciated - I'll cover this in the next video :-) Really appreciate your feedback Cheers Andy

Hi John, yes you are correct. I had a much better view of what was going on when I was editing up the video. I'll be sure to be replacing these washers with some of the correct dimensions at the next stage of the build. Really appreciate all your help Cheers Andy

could u tig weld that back up or would it expand and to contract to much

@AndyMechanic 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely not. Here in New Zealand it's illegal to repair or modify a steering/suspension component. Besides, this is a rather important component on the bike & failure could likely cause serious injury or death... Cheers Andy

Would a K4 triple clamp have that same weakness? They still have D washers.

@AndyMechanic 2 жыл бұрын

Most likely if they are still using the washers...maybe the forums can confirm Cheers Andy

Interesting, I never has that issue on my CB500......it must have been exclusive to the CB750.

@daveco1270 2 жыл бұрын

In my CB750 Clymers manual there's some torque specs but I don't see top triple tree fork holders listed. It does list "fork top bridge to front fork" and "front fork bottom bridge." Could those be upper and lower triple tree...or are they referring to something else? It has them at 13 to 17 ft pounds of torque. Nowhere near what you referenced.

Andy, I’ve sent you an email with washer dimensions and torque settings. Steve

Awesome, great job Steve. Thank you so much for taking the time to research this & send through. Much appreciated :-) Thanks again Andy

Nice :) Pretty dissapointing of the part supplier to make such a rookie paint job. You would think for such an expensive part, they would properly plug the screw holes for painting!

@AndyMechanic 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I agree. Not impressed either given the cost & well....Honda? Cheers Andy

@johncrowley5612 9 ай бұрын

That doesn't look like a genuine Honda part. Should be a satin finish and Honda would have masked the threads.

@AndyMechanic 9 ай бұрын

Correct, the replacement is not a Genuine Honda part. Cheers Andy
