Hello onkelheri! I hope that you are well. It was great to see you in Datteln a few weeks ago, I think that Andy Eaton was very grateful your assistance!
Best wishes,

Welcome Martyn, that looks fantastic. I bought a new B1 in November 1976, yours looks spot-on. Having the original exhaust system is rare these days! See you around!

That’s an interesting project, great to see it going back on the road!

The number of pinstripes tells you immediately whether it’s a B1,2,3 or 4. Also, on the 3 and 4, the front brake caliper is behind the fork leg, not in front.

The twin isn’t overwhelmed so much by the fascination by four cylinders as it used to be. Vertical twins seem to be coming back into fashion, albeit mostly with 270 degree crankshafts. The only thing that it lost out on originally was straight line top speed, mine bought new in 1976 would show 110/115 flat on the tank, which was actually as good a…[Read more]

You mean the needle-rollers that were introduced with the B3?. Kaptain K (Andy) will definitely know the answer. Message him directly?

Hi Piemuncher! Quite a project there, but definitely do-able. Looks as if it might be a 77 B2? You should be able to get everything you need, Kaptain Kwak will point you in the right direction. Good luck, worth doing.

Do you have any forks?

New stainless pipes made and fitted, Marving silencers will do for now.

I tried last night using “Add Media” on the forum, didn’t seem to work. I’ll try again.

It’s getting closer. Currently having new twin header pipes made for it, hoping to start the process of registration with DVLA this week.

They are around, look on FaceBook, Ebay etc. Although specialist engineers have enlarged them etc, there really aren’t special tuning parts for these engines. Quite honestly the outstanding feature of them is their mid-range torque, more at 3,000 rpm than a Honda CB750K does at 7,000. The best thing really is to restore one to good original c…[Read more]

It is perfectly possible though to get the old one stripped and re-chrome plated. If it is in good physical condition it will come back like new. Nice looking bike, I always thought the B was the best looking of the 750 Twins. Although not an original colour, the silver always looks smart too.
