UNBELIEVABLE... SIMPLY AMAZING!

so 150 k £ + there .. nice find

Genius

Wow

I RELUCTANTLY SOLD MY 1970 (MANUFACTURED 12/69) HONDA CB750 K0 MOTORCYCLE WITH 45,191 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, Vin #: CB7501016269, ENGINE #: CB750E-1016228 FOR US$ 11,000 TO A CUSTOMER IN DENMARK MORE THAN 20-YEARS AGO. THIS AMAZING MOTORCYCLE CHANGED THE PATH OF MY LIFE, AND OWNED ME FOR MORE THAN 35 WONDERFUL YEARS! IT WAS PURCHASED IT IN THE SUMMER OF 1972 WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR $935.00 (PLUS "USE TAX" AND "TRANSFER FEES", THOSE STATE BASTARDS!). BECAUSE OF A DESIRE TO PRECISELY MAINTAIN THIS MOTORCYCLE, I WENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (KOLBE HONDA) AND ORDERED THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. I LOOKED AT THE REQUIRED TOOL LIST AND SAW THIS "VACUUM CARBURETOR SYNCHRONIZER" AND WENT TO THE KOLBE PARTS MANAGER WHO TOLD ME THE PRICE WAS $387.00! SINCE THIS WAS MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE ENTIRE BIKE, I RODE TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED FOUR VACUUM GAUGES, 3-16" RUBBER VACUUM LINE, "BUNDY" BRAKE LINE TUBING, AND FOUR METRIC SCREWS THAT MATCHED THE PORTS ON THE CARBURETORS. LOOKING AT THE SMALL PHOTO IN THE MANUAL OF THE SYNCHRONIZER, I REALIZED I NEEDED TO PURCHASE FOUR "NEEDLE VALVES" AT THE AQUARIUM STORE TO DAMPEN THE INTAKE PULSATIONS. I BUILT A COPPER MANIFOLD AND ATTACHED THE FOUR DISASSEMBLED GAUGES TO A VACUUM PUMP (AN OLD REFRIGERATOR COMPRESSOR) AND LEARNED TO CALIBRATE THE ANEROID GAUGES BY BENDING THE BOURDON TUBE SO THAT THEY ALL TRACKED EACH OTHER, THEY DIDN'T COME THAT WAY FROM THE FACTORY! I CUT THE BUNDY TUBING INTO LENGTHS, AND BRAZED IT TO THE METRIC SCREWS THAT I HAD DRILLED AND ADDED RUBBER O-RINGS. AFTER COMPLETING AND TESTING THE PROTOTYPE, I WENT BACK TO THE PARTS MANAGER AND SHOWED IT TO HIM AND HE SAID HOW MUCH FOR A QUANTITY OF TEN? AFTER NEGOTIATING A PRICE WITH HIM, ON MAY-15-1972 (MY 20TH BIRTHDAY) I FORMED MY FIRST COMPANY, THE "FOUR DESIGNS COMPANY" TO MANUFACTURE MY FIRST COMMERCIAL PRODUCT: THE "VACU-TUNE" CARBURETOR SYNCHRONIZATION GAUGE SET FOR HONDA FOUR MOTORCYCLES (I SOLD MORE THAN 3,000 OF THE GAUGE SETS). I SOLD THE COMPANY TO MY JR. HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND AND IT IS STILL IN BUSINESS, NOW RE-MANUFACTURING ELECTRONIC TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS, SEE: WWW.FOURDESIGNS.COM). I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION RUN OF THESE MOTORCYCLES WITH THE "SAND-CAST" MAIN ENGINE CASES, BUT AESTHETICALLY, I ALWAYS PREFERRED THE FINISHED LOOK OF THE PAINTED DIE-CAST CASES. I DEFINITELY PREFER THE LOOK OF THE K0 MODEL WITH IT'S MATCHING PAINTED SIDE COVERS, AIR-BOX, AND HEADLIGHT BUCKET. THE K1 MODEL JUST DIDN'T HAVE THAT UNIQUE LOOK THAT THIS ORIGINAL MOTORCYCLE IS FAMOUS FOR.

YOU ARE SO GIFTED TO REBUILD THIS CLASIC TO BETTER THAN NEW CONDITION ...WOW...WOW...WOW

That was beautiful.

Great work. I’m half way through my first restoration.. bought an RD03 a couple of months ago. Currently down to engine & chassis. I love doing it & hope it’s somewhere near as nice as yours. It’s only the expense holding me back at the moment. Great vid, enjoy the bike ❤️🤍💙

Poésie à l'état pur!

where did you get the bolts with the 8 on them, i haven't been able to find any

So beautiful. I’m surprise that some of the parts are still around for replacement.

I would like to have a big poster (e.g. 2.0 m x 1.5 m) of that.. Any ideas..?

Mote than admiration my jealousy CB750 lord😊

Amazing! Just Amazing! Great work!

😯

TOPÍSSIMO!!!

Amaizing job man. I have 2 CBs 750 four. The best Motorcycle ever. Congrats. Best hugs 😮

Unreal dude, insane

I got one in parts for free and I can't wrap my head around how to start restoring it. Your video gave me some insight, thanks!

Complimenti, molto molto bella.

Genius.

beautiful ❤

Wow, almost too nice looking to ride I say

Sam, you are a true master! The video was incredibly well done as well.

Muito top sempre quiz fazer uma reforma assim mas aqui no Brasil as peças são muito caras

An absolutely beautiful restoration of a classic Honda.

Why the F#$k would anybody hide such a jewel? Hats off to you and a big thumbs up for bringing this beautiful piece of history back too life..!

Wow well done I'm impressed a beautiful restoration very professional.

Awesome job bro! You are an artist!

Rebirth ! Magnifique restauration de la CB750 Four, aussi belle que neuve. A mon goût, la plus belle moto du monde avec la 900 Kawasaki Z1 du début des années 70.

Yea mate very nice job , but didn’t the first model CB have 4 x throttle cables for each carb ?

oh God amazing video ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

awesome

I used to have a CB550 75 model when I was 20 years old those bikes were good motorcycles for their day I wished I had another one to ride versus these new ones today thanks for the nice video of you restoring that 750 God bless you sir

Respect to you sir... you are a craftsman !!

What would this be worth in 2022?

Beautiful restoration. More people should appreciate the beauty of these machines in their original form. I cringe every time I see one of these bikes chopped.

wow very very beautiful honda,

Yeah I’m great at restoration, but this master made me look like the new guy. Just got yourself a subscriber mate. Just so nice.

Some awesome work done there.😎
