1973 Honda CB750 Front Brake Install

[@facebook2k7]

Its very satisfying taking old parts off and putting new stuff on. Soothing to the mind.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Yes, plus the improvement of the bike makes it much more useful.

In the 70"s I grew up in a bike shop in a small southern Maryland town. A lot of bikes went through the shop. The CB750 was the most popular ride by far. (other than older Harley's / the 70's Harley's were AMF crap) Nice to see one in riding shape.

Joe Dunbar the Honda CB750 changed the entire motorcycle scene. Yes, I am glad to have had the opportunity to work on this one, sweet ride.

Nice looking K3...I respect the owners wishes for improved braking over originality. After all, it's a rider not a showpiece! Way to go not getting brake 'juice' on that 47 yr old paint! ...is it necessary to wrap the threads on the brake switch with Teflon?..carry on.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

You’re not supposed to use Teflon tape on brake lines, the tape could get in the system and get lodged in the seals.

@@jamiestanley8774 sometimes it’s simple, sometimes it’s a struggle. Sorry that you got the struggle.

Hey Tom! Great video, I appreciate your way of "breaking it down". I'm looking for the same front brake replac2kit but can't find a whole set up like yours, (caliper, hoses, etc.). Would you happen to have a link to this kit?

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

My friend ordered the stuff, it was from a Honda specialty place that deals with parts for the old bikes. I want to say it was called 4 Into 1 but not sure.

hi tom can you help me on my kawasaki 700 kfx get gas in the exhaust thanks

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

If you're getting fuel in the exhaust, check for spark first. Then I would suspect the carburetor/fuel injection system (I can't remember what the KFX has). Hope you find an easy repair.
