[@Hondacliff]

I just finished a "restoration" of a K3 and enjoyed following you doing yours. Thanks, Cliff.

[@Joseph1NJ]

Enjoyed the entire series. So much so, I'm watching parts more than once.

[@bobknight33]

After watching may of these and seeing this come alive--- Damn All smiles.

[@HackaweekTV]

So good to hear this baby run!

[@krqkan]

+HackaweekTV Good to see it up and running! :) Just started my '99 Yamaha R6 track bike yesterday. What a feeling to finaly have it running! Still got some fuel issues tho, but working on it! First time working on carb bike :D

[@robblr]

+HackaweekTV Heck friggin' yes!!

[@ghostryder94]

+HackaweekTV I just binge watched everything up to this point. Seeing there wasnt another episode I started getting very disappointed. Then I realized that this video is not nearly so old as the timeline of part one. LOL Cant wait for more and am subscribed!

[@poisonforlunch]

+HackaweekTV just like a babys first cry

[@mpezzi]

Congrats on getting the bike running!

[@jmc5341]

so exciting. a testament to your work firing up so quick . I have a 72 with 6000 miles I got with the original dealer title I'm going to be going through soon.

[@banditBrian]

congrats on getting her up and running can't wait to see it on the road

[@skycarl]

You know Dino, there's a lot of us out here smiling right now with you. WTG Dude,,,, Carl

[@keepitrunning]

Always nice to see another old one running and that exhaust looks like a good bit of kit, it's a pity they don't do them for bikes like mine but that would be asking to much for the more obscure machinery I run. Not that I could afford new, I have to keep patching up my old ones, at least until I get some income again, £10.00 a week doesn't go far.

[@IJ-Media]

Great to follow these videos! Rebuilding a CB550 myself. Very helpfull!

[@joedeleon3435]

Dino I would have gone with some button head Allen bolts for that exhaust instead brother, it's just too easy to strip those JIS head screws, and much more of a pain in the ass to get them off, but at least you did put anti seize on those bolts... I think anyway

[@Four2stroke]

Congratulations! I'm watching your channel. It is very helpful to me. I love the old Honda. I have two. Today, I also build a cafe racer.

[@LilDoggy]

Man! I love the CB's I must have had 5 of them growing up.

[@RoosterGis]

Dino these videos are saving my ass. You're the man!

[@IchibanMoto]

Yeah Dino - Awesome vroom vroom ! Good JIS tip too- I made my own set of JIS screwdrivers, something every metric Japanese bike owner should have !

[@ian_morg]

Well done! Sounds awesome :-) I've got a Kawasaki z750 ltd project starting soon. Can't wait! 😀

[@GunFunZS]

+ian morgan Never cared for the frame shape on the LTDs but the engines and bikes in general are great. Love my Kz650. I have helped work on a few of them now, and hondas too. IMO the Kaws of that era at least are much better made machines.

[@timescapes]

nice job dino

[@chriswhite5106]

ITS ALIVE!! I had goosebumps hearing that thing run!

[@thelolchuck]

sat up in my chair heart pumping right before your started it up. awesome

[@shmittieschannel]

Yes!!!! Great work

[@guillemilimanrique3564]

hello my frien , first thanks for all yours videos .... i learned a lot from him and you explain it's great . but i need your help please : i from for venezuela and my 1975 honda cb750 four super sport is like your in this video, the carburetors it's not graduate whit manometers but i start the bike and i can see white smoke come from exhaust pipe and this smoke smell to gasoline and itching my nose, but i dont know if really it is oil or gasoline ... what do you think about this ? ....another thing is , i wear the engine's bike to undeer 1000 rpm and the smoke appears and when i go to up 1100 rpm this smoke disappears and appears again up 3000 or 4000 rpm .... this drives me crazy .....repeat i dont know if is oil or gasoline the engine's bike is not open for fix by me..... i can see too in this video the same happens to you ...but you have snow around, i dont know if it is the reason in your video...... i have not ....here it is very hot helpme friend !!!!!

[@TheJudge64]

Screw automotive shows on tv, hackaweek is where its at man! Love these videos, I own a cb750F and these have really helped me out a lot. Keep up the great work man

[@gorgon9786]

this I think was the most amusing video I've seen for a long time Dean!! -found myself smiling for half an hour! -you really must be satisfied with this great moment when you're cranking it over, right!!? the sound is great on this exhaust. . Great job, Sir!

[@stevewilkin3977]

Just knew she’d fire up straightaway 👍

[@Langdoncaptain]

I just started vintage road racing last year. I'm having the time of my life. I've acquired three 76-77 CB550's. My A bike, the one I campaigned last year, was partially built by someone else, and finished by my crew and me. I'm currently building a B bike to run the three hour Big Fish, Small Pond Race in Loudon New Hampshire. It's nice to see others taking a huge interest in the older bikes. Great video! As a post-script, I'm using your fiberglassing techniques from the last bike to make custom rear seats for both bikes! Keep the videos coming!

[@jamesroyds5069]

Agh Dino, really stoked to hear the machine up and running. Great work. Really like watching your work. Inspirational!

[@taxijackmusic]

Sounds like theres a cylinder with intermittent spark!

[@DeanSegovis]

+TAXI JACK Number three. It was running a bit lean. Fuel issue. Gotta work that out in the final tune. Good ear!

[@jp040759]

CONGRATS!!! SO COOL. I was almost as excited as you I bet. Super neat feeling when an engine kicks over immediately after working on it. Great job.

[@Eeropolvasti]

What a nice, nice feeling, when you are firing up first time!!! I was there, when mine was done, almost cried !;o) You have to do this to understand......=)....what a feeling......!

[@toms1466]

First up thanks for your time and videos. I copied your clutch tool and was most impressed as it works perfectly and was my first self made tool. I just spent 6 hrs on my 1978 arranging engine parts and cleaning. Have to start the list of parts but first i need to find out what i got and what not. I am sure I paid too much for a total basket case but again it is a hobby. And I am lucky as i did my first one 30 years ago, then in Germany now in Australia. And congrats to the running first start. Great feeling.

[@paulhill196]

Hi Dino watching your videos has made me clean & check more at every stage and the end result is awesome all the best Paul

[@dano4003]

that sounds awesome, and nice to see you back... can't wait to see more. I have a 1982 cb750f super sport, this is near and dear to my heart... keep up the good work.

[@remymichael534]

I find your videos so encouraging for us that want to learn and work in "our first second hand bikes" lol. I love your explanations and the videos are amazing. Well done sir.

[@blairguinea1337]

Sir what an awesome build !!!!!!!!!!!!! been following careful, man you deserve a knighthood !..........just amazing. I had an 75 cb 750 back in the day.........Thanks so much and your attention to detail AWESOME !

[@prop1113]

I definitely would've put some anti-seize on those screws that hold the exhaust flanges... She's a beauty though! runs real good for a first start. Cant wait to see it riding down the road

[@DeanSegovis]

+KiwiXT I can always pull them back out one at a time and apply a little anti-seize. In fact, I'll be pulling the exhaust back off so I can send out the flange clamps for rechroming.

[@Eeropolvasti]

Well Done, Good Memories !! I had one, same year 73? or 74? CB 750 in Finland, back in1980-1985, made it 900cc, with Yoshimura "tune up', and 4-1 power pipe. had Dunstall tank, front windshield, seat, dual rotors in front,...., that bike was so, so fast, was racing with Kawasaki 1300, did even =) So, top speed about 235-240 km/hr = 150 miles per hour, at early 80's that was pretty goooood ! Send your e-mail address, I send couple photoes for you! Thanks, nice bike, I sure miss it =))

[@GPuck21]

amazing videos! thank you so much! extremely inspirational!

[@MrMougi]

Just watched this whole series in two days and I need more!!! This is very good and informative. I am now subbed and look forward to seeing this through to completion.

[@tonyrichengod9280]

Hello all. I'm wondering if anyone knows this : Does the 4-1 exhaust system of a CB400 Super Four fit on a 4-2 CB750 Nighthawk? I'm trying to swap the system on my 750 for a 4-1 to reduce weight and noise. Would it work? Or are there better options for this? Thank you.

[@Denis-bo8ms]

Hondaparts direct only goes back to 1984. How did you find bolts for your 1973 bike, just wandering? I have 1980 CB750f SS that needs parts. Also, can I use Rotella T on my DOHC bike? Why does it say diesel oil?

[@a94120905702]

YEAAAHHHH!! AWSOME!! dino this series is soo good! thanks for sharing!!

[@roadeycarl]

Sounds amazing! Great work!!

[@brucefarrall1792]

Hi Dean, My name is bruce from Melbourne Australia. i have a 76 Cb750 at the same stage as your bike...I'm so pumped to see it run!! Firstly could I get a bit more in-depth detail on how to wire up a temp battery and start my baby (Can give you an email if that helps) Also cant wait to see the wiring harness go on. This is the part of my bike i'm going to struggle with. Look forward to part31!!

[@terrytomlinson1705]

Man, that looks nice!! And sounds good. What exhaust did you get? I picked up my Dad's 69 cb750 last summer. It's been sitting at least 30 years. It's # 424 off the assembly line.

[@sebastiengauthier2785]

Hi just wondering if you could help me I'm looking for parts for my Cb 650b1980 I'm looking for cam chain tensioner and chain guide and can't find anywhere I'm from Quebec

[@akraus5]

Are you at sea level? I am doing pods as well on my 75 cb750 so I was wondering what your jet setup is at sea level. I am running Mac 4-1 with comp baffle and 120's main and 2.75 turns out. Runs pretty well.

[@Rockininrosman]

I'm working on a 1983 CB1100F Honda that needs a new cam chain tensioner. (broken) Is it possible to replace from the top without a tear down? It destroyed a bearing which is already replaced so I had to break the case for that. Love the show BTW.

[@benc65753]

I've got a '76 CB750 with four in four pipes that are badly roached. I'm considering installing an aftermarket four in one exhaust. Did you re-install the original air box or did you go with K&N single sir filters? Have you heard the old thinking that you have to rejet the inner two carbs to get the engine to run right? Just curious to hear what your thoughts are on rejetting the carbs because of the four in one pipe and air filters. Thx.

[@daveco1270]

Does that exhaust come with baffles or is it free flowing? Trying to figure out if I should put baffles in my 75 CB750 and if that would affect performance. It's an aftermarket exhaust, 4 into 2.

[@Spoif]

+HackaweekTV That's absolutely fantastic. All that hard work is definitely paying off. Sounds GREAT.

[@53iBro]

What handlebar do are you using in this video? I'm looking to swap the wonky bars in my '82 CB650 Nighthawk and I really like your bars.

[@Eeropolvasti]

I had Yoshimura 4 to 1 power pipe, nice noice !!! Mine was matte black =) How much you paid yours 4 to 1 ??/ Looking gooooodd!=)

[@HoldFastFilms]

Man I wish I had these videos to follow when I was building my 72 (K1). But I learned a lot by trial and error. Won't ever forget it now, that's for sure. Bike sounded really good!

[@MrJohn1966elliott]

Yay !!! Whoo !! No Problem for setup, Just few second to First start up. Yay !!! High Five !!!

[@mrpack8235]

Hey man first of all. congratulations. the bike's sound is just beautiful. I was wondering, how do you ride a bike during the winter is it possible? I live in a tropical country, so I have no idea about riding on the snow. hehe tksss

[@ArronAdams1990]

Have your Carburettors been re jetted for the cone pod air filters installed? I't something I'm thinking of doing to my bike but don't really know where to start with re tuning the carbs

[@guillemilimanrique3564]

another thing is... the engine sound of my motorcycle is equal to engine sound of your motorcycle and the exhaust sound too ....taxi jack said something about this andd your answer was fuel issue and fine tunning .... please explain to me and clar the doubt

[@juan.esentodoelpaisaguilar1422]

buunas noches tengo una cb 750 modelo 82. lo único k mefalta es poner atiempo sincronizar los árboles con pistones ymarcas en elsigueñal

[@jon1979roma]

Awesome job Dino! Great editing as well. So cool to see this from box of parts to ignition. Great

[@GeertPolo]

I remember the time I was waiting for every episode to come out. What a great series ! But damn you torqued every bolt of that exhaust good and tight 😅

[@patchrockit]

sweeeeet. today i fiberglassed my cafe seat mold and lubed all of my cables on my 1975 cb750f. your videos are awesome.

[@slash12387]

Doing the same thing on my 75xl350 but my nuts at the end of the throttle cables are smaller than the groves on the plastic piece that controls the throttle. Is this normal?

[@r.weaver3769]

Less tuning issues with muffler on as well! Sounds good...Thumbs Up!

[@MegaTroyhamilton]

where did you find the exhaust? been thinking of a similar set up tp take care of my rotting mufflers.

[@jasonlewis3158]

Did you replace the gaskets on the oil lines? If so, do you have a part # or specs where I can buy generic ones?

[@MarioLoco03]

wow...I wish I knew where you are located. I'd like for you to do the work on my bike.

[@cyberbalrog]

Absolutely love it! There's nothing like the first start of a bike ;) As mentioned earlier, I'd also probably would have used some copper slip on the JIS bolts for later convenience. Then again you're more experienced than me, maybe you had a good reason not to use any?

[@DeanSegovis]

+Timothy Zeludziewicz I can always pull them back out one at a time and apply a little anti-seize. In fact, I'll be pulling the exhaust back off so I can send out the flange clamps for rechroming.

[@SaturdaysWrench]

What a feeling to hear it run for the first time!! Exciting stuff! Wish you would have explained the wiring a little better because I would like to start mine up before I get to far with it to make sure it's running properly. I have a CB350, any advice on wiring for a test start like yours?

[@llewvirtue861]

Nickle anti seize on plugs, nice, but not a drop of oil down the cables before installation, oh well

[@trigg99]

first time i think its a guy thing i got I got really excited when it fired up remind me when i was a kid and messing about with bikes

[@CraftwerksMC]

Congrats Dino!!!! Sounds like a healthy baby bike, lol!!!

[@djt64r]

I was thinking of using Rotella T for my 750 as well but didn't want to use an oil that would cause clutch slippage. Is this something to be concerned about with Rotella T?

[@HackaweekTV]

+djt64r From what I read on the SOCH4 forum, it works just fine.

[@HatcheDWheeL]

Just stumbled over this channel. Subscribe!

[@5uperfly2]

you should include in the description this is also a throttle cable installation video. could of used this in my last step

[@aaronbehindbars]

Where did you source your JIS screwdrivers? I found a few brands around the interwebs, but curious which ones you purchased. Thanks.

[@DeanSegovis]

+Aaron Fink Ebay

[@tobbem1777]

+HackaweekTV Hi, your 750 sounds very nice! I have one question, which return spring do you use on your carbs? My throttle is very stiff, and the tension of the spring is very high it hurts my wrist :(

[@DeanSegovis]

+Tobbe M The stiff one.

[@PeterChasteen]

I've spent more time watching this project than anything else I've seen on youtube. So happy to see this baby run!! Thanks for doing what you are doing. Also, I have a rusty old beam style torque wrench I could send you so you could take it apart and show us how it works. Would you be interested in it? Keep on hackin' amigo. Great stuff!

[@benitoarredondo7452]

right on! can't wait to see it on the road. are you going to do another project after this? if so, what are the details? i would like to see your take on a cool custom. maybe like a bmw or triumph (vintage of course). seriously appreciate all your work and videos as they've helped me with my builds. thAnks

[@DeanSegovis]

+Benito Arredondo Not really thinking about what's next. I still have a lot to do on this one. :)

[@trevormartin5459]

Very impressive.Excellent.Well done Dean.

[@danielpersson6769]

Bike looks and sounds awesome! Great job so far! What tires are those? They look neat, thinking of something like that for my kawa gpz-83.

[@danielpersson6769]

+Daniel Persson I'll answer my own question with Dunlop Gold seal K70

[@Re_LiveTheMoment]

@HackaweekTV what kind of battery is that? Can you use it to replace a normal 12V lead battery? I need a smaller battery for my sabre....

[@DeanSegovis]

+N13L6 Just a small Lipo jump battery. Not a suitable replacement for a regular battery.

[@clydesight]

Congrats on the bike! I use Marvel Mystery Oil in all my tape recorder restoration projects. It is a great cleaning oil!

[@truantray]

are you going to leave the pod filters on? These bikes really run better with the stock airbox. Did you avoid lube on the cables and linkage purposely? avoid attracting dirt?

[@DeanSegovis]

+truantray Pods are temporary. They came with the bike. Stock box with a K & N filter is the way to go!

[@jimkodysz5404]

Hi Dino, There's nothing to compare with the feeling of putting an engine together and seeing it start on the first try! I'm not a motorcycle guy, but I can still appreciate a good mechanic (kind of rare nowadays)!

[@105len]

What brand and model 4 in 1 exhaust did you install on your Honda?

[@cassvirgillo3395]

Hi Dean HAW, Good job! Looks like it will be a runner, and lot's of fun. Nice when all the work pays off as the bike goes together. It fired right up, good sign. Take care, C.

[@HammerHeadGarage]

clutch just needs a adjustment. sounds good :)

[@danielharrison1628]

What web site do u use for honda part I have a 81 cb 900

[@lsforce]

It's alive! That was better than Star Wars ep.7....

[@gregorycrow3024]

Whenever I give in to the temptation to do whatever it takes to make an old bike run, I seem to lose much of my motivation to go back and finish things once I hear it run. I loved seeing yours run. A friend is trying to sell me a cb750 in almost the same shape you started with 2 years ago.

[@zeusa1038]

amazing job ! great video. i have an 82 cb750 rusting away in storage. got it out the same day i watched your video and started working on it. thank you for the inspiration. and congratulation from miami.

[@luciano_rgarage2175]

helo dino, sorry i don´t speak english, então vai em português mesmo, sou fã dos seus videos, gosto de eletronica, mas gosto muito mais dos videos das motos, adorei o som da cb 750, espero que nao demore a postar o proximo video. amazing video about cb 750.

[@wvcajun1]

Dino, that's thing's gonna be a screamer! Good work and keep the vids rolling. I'll be fixing the oil leak in my '76 R90/6 in the meantime

[@timwood2607]

Welcome back. I have really enjoyed learning from this and the Saber builds. They have encouraged me to start my own build. I've been wondering if you could be talked into doing a rat bike build in the future? I think it would be really cool to see your take on one. Thanks again.

[@anthonycleary11]

I've been following this build since day one. When I heard that motor kick and started running I felt like a seven-year-old Christmas. That bike is screaming out for a brand-new custom paint job. Great video.

[@toby7504]

its absolutly fantastic. The sound of thise old bikes has no equal. Fires my old 86 gsxr project from time to time just to enjoy the smell and sound from the good old days.

[@TotallyL337]

Thanks for making this project available for the public. I know it was probably frustrating to shoot and edit the whole thing on top of actually fixing your bike. I for one am very appreciative, the info in your videos has saved me thousands. I can't wait to hear my CB700 roar back to life like this

[@m1a1hm]

The bike sounds AWESOME!!!!

[@davidhawwn]

Woot! I've been following this project for a while. I have a k4 and have learned a great deal from you. Think I will take on that oil leak now. Thanks for the tip about the seals! Congrats on getting it going (and on first crank!)

[@d3xterown]

pls make a price list, talk about the total cost of the restoration
