Honda MG & MF 750

[Johno Senior]

Running K7 forks for height and better trail geometry Checked the front forks ...K7 forks as they are a bit longer ( which is what I want) but one side was bent about 4mm

[Johno Senior]

I used the press to straighten the 4mm bent tube, best I could get was .004 thou. run out, I'm happy with that as the other tube was new and had .003 thou run out.

[Johno Senior]

Just tidying up the top fork yoke, giving the handle bar risers the flick for less drag and run clip ons.

[Johno Senior]

The springs were pretty crappy with unequal lengths and pressure, swapped around a few sets of springs and now have equal length and preload pressure , checked them on a spring rate tester.........piece of pipe and kitchen scales..........all good

Johno

I am running a Ring a Ding 250 it's the difference between running and not running.

[Johno Senior]

It was so cold had to use the ol patio heater to get some temp into things.....me included

[Johno Senior]

I am making a 100mm longer swingarm so had a bent one that I cut the end off, I'll clean it up on the lathe and use it on the new arm.

The standard swing arm I primed today is plan B, I am using skinny 21 inch wheels on a narrow 100mm longer arm as plan A......if I cant get enough traction I'll have the standard swingarm and wide 18 inch wheel ready to go............and a big fat guts on rear.
cheers Johno

[Johno Senior]

Looking at two options for the tacho, got a new late model Honda cable type or the small electronic , the small unit will be the best for windage but not sure if I will be able to read it in the direct sunlight ?
cheers johno

[Johno Senior]

Just to confuse things I am helping a mate with his old honda cb 750 engine but is bored to 1,000 cc......putting it into a later frame.

So I am preparing two K3 750 class hondas.......one for spare
He will have a late frame but old K2 750 modified engine 1,000cc

All about the old Honda's this trip

[Johno Senior]

I've got an old set of webbers we will run on the big engine.

[Johno Senior]

For the old Honda 750 buffs you would notice the ports are a bit different

[Johno Senior]

Raised the ports from horizontal to 18 degrees........Picked up a lot of flow. unfortunately I cant run the head on the standard frame due to hitting the frame rails so in the big motor in the wide railed frame.........I love this shit man
