Subscribe as I begin to break down how I built my bike and moto-vlog its future! . . Everyone says that it's about the journey, not the destination -- but is it? Perhaps learning how to ride a bike has a few benefits...

One of the first of many I owned, first street bike I bought was a 72. The last 3 I owned I built into hard tail choppers . Great,fast,dependable and easy to work on and maintain. The bike that literally changed the motorcycle world 🌎 forever.

We put a kawasaki 400cc back wheel and sprocket on a cb750 salvaged from a scrap yard, the bike never reached it's max because non of us testing it could stay on the seat while it kept climbing in speed 👍🏽

Haha that’s awesome!! I went down a tooth in the rear for torque, but I may try out stock/+1 just to see what I’m missing. It’s certainly got the hp to pull it up there

I had a 1978 CB 750F2, and it revved to 9500. It was screaming, but fine. I notice that people with CB 750s sometimes under rev them.

Now that I have a gauge that works, I was definitely under revving. Had to play it safe though. Better weather and more riding videos soon!

Love your emotions when you really rev it !! I indeed always have similar feelings. I own a CB 750 four myself with a 736 cc stock engine and a few weeks ago I invested in a 28 mm Mikuni flat slide carburator bank. If you want to make more out of this machine, that‘s the way to go. The acceleration pump makes you feel as if you out of a sudden have 30% more power, especially at lower speed. She doesn‘t have much more power at the top end, but feels really enormously more powerful in the lower and mid range. As if she got 20 more horses out of nowhere … great fun, but since the installation I need a sensitive right hand 😁

That set up come from where ? I run stock on a 1977 super sport they give all the fuel u need . U have a bigger intake set up with those carbs or something . U got my interest with more powah 😁.

@@calom4823 As I said, it feels like more power due to the acceleration pump. When you pull the throttle, you by this movement actively pump gas into the intake, so between the engine and the carburetor. By this trick you provide gas at the very same second the flat slides opens, which provides more air in that particular second, too. In standard carbs the liquid gas first needs to speed up, due to the air flow starting to suck the gas, then passing the needle etc. All of this costs time. The outcome of the active acceleration pump is an instant reponse. The peak power is not much different, but the improved responsiveness is significant in my eyes. Feels like about 30% more power in low and midrange when you open the throttle, so exactly in that range, where I mostly need it. For 736 cc I‘d recommend 28mm carbs, they are better suited for daily use. If you have 836 cc, you could go for 32 mm. You might want to open your air filters a bit, maybe also using K&N like Jacob does. Mikuni Topham is a very good address to get them, if you would be interested.

Is the 400 hawk from 78 a good bike too? Just to beat around? The 750s I can’t find for less than $3k 😅
@JacobBaldry Жыл бұрын
A Japanese twin like the 400 hawk is hard to beat! It should be very reliable, but look at the forums to be sure. I’m sure there’s “something” that always needs to be replaced. But personally, that’s seems like a very trustworthy bike in terms of reliability.

Will you make more video about this bike?
@JacobBaldry2 жыл бұрын
Hey there! ABSOLUTELY! This channel will be a mix of two things. 1. The bike builder react series. And 2. This bike and my life with it. Right now the ignition system is toast so I’m waiting for a couple parts before it’s back on the road. All a part of the fun though! But I already have over 50 videos planned with this bike. Stick around!

Would love to know how you fixed the tach. I’ve had the same issue on literally all three cb750s I’ve owned. Luckily they’ll scream at you and pull you to shift before redlining.
@JacobBaldry Жыл бұрын
@@GavinEzell honestly the tach has been iffy at best. It was “ok” for a day or two and is back to being stuck at 5k. I ordered an electronic tach and will be giving that one a go. They only make it in black though so I’ll be stripping the paint and polishing it to match the other. I have high hopes for the electronic.

They go ok but they top out about 110 mph. But.. they feel fast! The old chassis and laid back riding position with flat seat means your body weight is always pulling on the arms and feeling wild. Its fun no doubt but not that fast really. Evocative indeed though. What are they.. about 60 bhp?

I loved riding mine. Been on much faster bikes but you can get thrills comparative to much quicker machines under license busting speeds on old machinery.. it's magic
