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.

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]

How’s it going? You must be close to finishing it by now.

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.

Hi Karl. I remember when we first heard of Hy-Vo chains for primary drive use that we were told that they ran much slacker than a traditional chain, they are supposed to. Also that they don’t wear out! So you should be ok.
Cheers, Colin. -

Hi Paul, join the gang! That all sounds really promising. I bought my original B1 new in 1976 and did a lot of happy miles on it. I could never understand some of the stuff that was said about it because none of that sounded like the bike I was riding! My recent US import 1978 B3 is getting close to completing its restoration and I’m really l…[Read more]

Hi Jon, that certainly looks promising! Both mudguards look original, they’re as rare as hens’ teeth so worth hanging onto. There are light dimples on the front. I’ve got a 1978 B3 under restoration and close to finishing but the powder coaters and painters used aren’t anywhere near Portsmouth I’m afraid. Others who see this in the next few days…[Read more]

Here is my 1978 B3. It will be fully restored to UK spec with longer rear mudguard etc. although it was never actually imported here.

coleighf replied to the topic Newbe in the forum New Member Introductions 7 months, 1 week ago
Hi Newbe, that sounds great, is it a US import? I had a 76 B1 from new and loved it. Currently I’ve got a 78 B3 from the US, currently in restoration to UK spec. I’m very much looking forward to mine, it will be great to see yours when it arrives.
Cheers,Coleighf.
