73 Honda CB750 Custom Build Part 36 - Stock Airbox Installation

Installation of the factory air box and a bonus collaboration with Ichiban Moto! You can watch his video here: • how to soften and rest...

[@AndrewTheisintegrated]

Had to part with my 1981 CB750, I'd love a crack at buying this thing in the future! Awesome work as always.

[@gorgon9786]

awesome to get mr. Ichi's and his MotoShop service to help you out with this restoration Dean!!.. .. watching his genuine craftsmanship... - and you know you can't go wrong! !.. :)

[@jaflolara]

This has been the coolest collab in the entire history of badass bikes!

[@SquillyMon]

As a LONG TERM owner of a 74' CB750 I will also personally attest to the FACTORY AIRBOX... I've WASTED A LOT OF TIME trying to find alternatives to the Stock Airbox...and that was ALL...WASTED TIME. The Factory Box is what you want to run... The engine runs SO MUCH BETTER with the Stock Box...Probably for all of the reasons mentioned in your video. So it is very good advice here to tell everyone to go with the Standard Setup...Don't waste your time like we did... Go with that Stock Box...you will be Glad you did. Trust Us.

[@fernandoagostinelli]

This video was awesome because of two reasons: 1. Ichiban Moto crossover and 2. helped me decide about the stock airbox or changing to pods. I'm just catching up with your videos because I just bought a 77 cb750A I'm tuning up. Thank you for your videos.

[@marclundrigan4461]

Nice shirt! I'm from PEI!! Love the build videos. I'm an avid backyard mechanic and I'm still learning lots from these videos. I have a 83 CBX 550f still on the road. Keep up the good videos!

[@joeking9933]

Really enjoy how meticulous you are and I love these bikes. Had a 69 before Vietnam , then a 74 when I returned and now ride a mint 76 with original exhaust I bought off Ebay from a Yank who didn't ride much in Indianapolis ;] . here in Florida we wear bikes out with so much great riding season. BTW I clean the air box with Armor all or tire foam Take care my friend and thanks again. Semper Fi from Pensacola

[@ronicard]

Nice video, Dean! I've always put my airbox on as an entire unit and it's a pain in the butt to do it that way. Next time I have to change my air filter, I think I'm going to try it in 2 pieces like you did. Thanks for the tip!

[@ianharper645]

Thanks for the vid Dino, just been trying to refit my velocity stacks, and they are hard AF, think I need some new ones, very helpful on showing the alignment of them, I wondered why they were a different shape on each side. Cheers Ian

[@adriangotts6077]

Your moving up Deno! A cameo from Number 1 :) Your vids are always a pleasure too watch!!!

[@arkangel13th]

After watching this video,I put back in the airbox of my FJ1100 and get rid of those cheap pods but add a K&N air filter!

[@johnmuffy2848]

That looks like a well done, visually proper, nice ride. Good job.

[@travisjennette8970]

I just stumbled onto this channel. So interesting! Great content. I wish the best of all things to you and yours good sir, and the same to all who read this.......

[@normandcarpentier947]

Always interresting to look at a good mecanic like you. Tanks a lot

[@H3adcrash]

I think it looks a lot nicer with the stock airbox. It fits a lot better than four little pods and a massive hole.

[@lsforce]

As always - see how better it runs with stock air box... I am glad I rethought my idea of installing pods on my kawasaki...

[@DavidLeeMenefee]

WOW. that Ichiban is sure bad ass. Thumbs up.

[@troycrowder9942]

i agree with you about the stock breather box that's why i kept mine when i put that motor in my cross cart

[@salastrenght]

Nice videos! They are helping me really much. I hope finish soon!

[@bldeagle10]

Well, now that I know you're selling her, I'm glad to know where my next bikes coming from! ;)

[@darkshadowsx5949]

all the airboxes on ebay are for the CB750. i need one for my CB550k3 so i guess i'll be using pods untill i find one. Good job on the video.

[@nightflyer1100]

一番モータース、What a cool name for a motorcycle shop！! I used be a regular customer of "Hayasa" (速さ＝speed) motorcycles in Oakland California. Lots of bike shops in Japan have English names but it is nice to know there are shops with Japanese names in the US. I love your vid!!

[@Francey4782]

I remember watching that Ichiban clip a few years back but that was on his channel I think. Cool!

[@kenardo9123]

Thanks for a great informative run through

[@henrikdamgaard1712]

Hi Dino. Love your videos. I just think that the clamps on the inlettubes should have the screws underneath. I beleive that is stock on Honda. And it certainly looks more neat. Kind regards from Denmark

[@Clarkeleo123]

Once you enter the cult you cannot leave the cult! Keep up the great work

[@IchibanMoto]

bad ass awesome video dino ! Now pay that Invoice !!!!!! ;)

[@DeanSegovis]

+Ichiban Moto I sent you a squirrel pot pie!

[@Moraren]

+Ichiban Moto Are you a wizard?

[@IchibanMoto]

+Moraren Ninja Moto Wizard !

[@IchibanMoto]

+HackaweekTV Yay! squirrel pot pie is bad ass ! :D

[@atzkey]

+Ichiban Moto, you are hilarious. Immediately subscribed after checking out the linked video to fulfil the utter urge to waste more time watching your videos.

[@MegaKencam]

I'm using 2 K&N filters on my 650. Each filter cover 2 carbs. I hope that helps with any air flow issues on the middle carbs.

[@DoRC]

Good lord that airbox has a lot of parts. An engineers wet dream

[@jeffbecker7703]

+Kenny Downs Old mouse pads? I haven't used one of those in years. Leave it to Dean to think of saving them for motorcycle repair material.

[@anonomus6734]

this is pretty awesome. Hack a week meets Ichiban. Bad Ass

[@drbaronie]

Sounds really nice, good vid 😋

[@johnson8danny]

Very cool, love this CB.

[@blacktrout]

I am getting really good at guessing when dino posts. I only check once a week and I am always right.

[@rgmccann]

2 worlds collide. Ichiban and Hack-a-week!!!

[@robblupo2032]

Simply the best explanation, and presentation of the rebuilding process of a CB750 on the internet. You have saved me countless hours of work on my K4 restoration process. Where can I send you a contribution.. Thank You.

[@alexgamboa5466]

sounds nice amigo !!!!

[@djfaber]

Hey, with these old rubber parts which have come in contact with fuel you can soak them in Amor-all, warm it up, let it sit for a few days, and good as new rubber.

[@truantray]

This is fun with Itchy, but you really can resoften the oxidized intake rubber to new by boiling the rubber with oil of wintergreen.

[@DeanSegovis]

+truantray Yes! It really works!

[@MidwestMotoRider]

So another benefit of running the stock air box is the reduction of sucking noise from the carbs as you accelerate.

[@benmanuel3502]

Prince Edward Island! Hope you've gotten a chance to ride up here in Atlantic Canada!

[@merovigran]

Smart.....you very good.... I do have l976 honda cb750f I just got....before runing I have a lots to fix......I don't know where start....never done before.. ..I not mechanic, not electrician........I wish I you, I not......I going to try....i look yours video like i crazy.....try to learning something from you ....... I will going to do it. Nice show...... I love.

[@HackaweekTV]

Cool, thanks

[@2013105]

Hey Dino you should do an LED upgrade for all your lights. Great stuff by the way i just recently purchased a 74 Honda CL360.

[@caryd67]

8:24 Damn! Looks like right off of the Snap-Off truck! Nice...

[@dasutr]

Would love to know about when you might consider selling this project. I would keep it as a second bike for Sunday rides and shows for vintage bikes. I have a V Star 1100 that I ride now.

[@truantray]

Even with perfect jetting, pods only work well at full open throttle. Air boxes use a physical property called Heimholtz resonance, and work better across the entire rev range. This is why even MotoGP and all racing bikes use big airboxes. Cafe racers use pods solely for aesthetics.

[@jeffbecker7703]

Nice sweatshirt. PEI, eh? One of your long summer '15 video break destinations? Went there as a kid and remember swimming under water and getting face to face with a lobster. Mom made chowder out of it. Mmmm.

[@alynicholls3230]

uk translation velocity stacks are called "ram tubes or ram pipes".

[@DavidLeeMenefee]

Sounds sweet. Thumbs up

[@jamesrwight401]

Hey Dino...I've watched so many of your videos my g/f knows your intro music, but always mistakenly says, "Oh its time for Hackaway." Between your videos & Mark Paris' (Hondaman) book, I'm learning to rebuild my engine. Your videos are invaluable. -James

[@PastorChanceH]

+James R Wight Can you be more specific on the title of that book, please? I'm always looking for more sources to learn about motorcycles. Thanks!

[@jamesrwight401]

It's called My CB750 by Mark Paris. Available from Lulu.com

[@PastorChanceH]

Awesome, Thanks.

[@PastorChanceH]

Wow, thanks a lot. I balked at the price a little, lol. But, I'm sure it will be worth the price.

[@jeffferguson899]

just ordered the metric carb tuner. I think my bike will run better after that

[@JGunlimited]

Oscar worthy

[@truantray]

tip: don't use a metric carb tweaker on a Japanese bike, you need a JIS tweaker, or your carbs will asplode like a Micheal Bay scene.

[@dasutr]

Cant believe your a fan of Ichaban too. Make me laff every time

[@ferencgondos]

Your hair has grown wild since part 12. :D

[@DeanSegovis]

+Ferenc Gondos Yeah it does that... :)

[@johnmorris6417]

Mine do not go together like that nuckle head

[@antonioushanna4011]

you forgot to mention about the stock airbox being a helmholtz resonator which will make the engine suck more air in at cetrain rpms (resonant frequencies). the only way the pods could achieve this is by having the same chamber volume (between filter and carb) as the stock airbox.

[@onhawaii]

I think you missed to put in the rubber seal to the top part of the airbox!!! on your drawing Nr. 9. Please double check... you might get some wrong air flow and that is what you don't want I guess.

[@hochstetler]

Dean I recently found your videos and have been binge watching them over the past couple of days. They are great! Quick question though. Going back to one of your earlier videos didn’t you say your jets were 150 or 160? Something in that range. Wouldn’t that explain why the previous owner had the pods? I am a novice in this stuff and could be commenting on something completely unrelated. And I apologize if this is covered in a future video that I haven’t watched yet.

[@user-tc5qg4cv9x]

[@r6stu]

What did ichban do?.. And can he do that to gpx 600 rubbers?

[@tomanpcm]

great show! :D :D :D

[@Horrylite]

Mechanic hands when installing bottom of the air box LOL.

[@motorcycletransportersghos6050]

Cool thank you

[@davec5223]

Was there a rubber gasket that sat along the bottom edge of the top part....to create a better seal when you put both pieces together?

[@davec5223]

....and what did Ichi charge you to rejuvenate those velocity stacks? You can buy new one's for 10 bucks a pop. I just replaced mine along with the rubber manifold intake ones as well. Stacks were a bit stiff. The intake boots were okay and I probably could have re used them, but since I had already bought a whole new set I put them on the bike. Glad the previous owner of my bike kept the stock air box.... I wouldn't have known the difference between that a pods when I bought it. Thanks for educating me. I've learned a ton from these videos, you gave me the confidence to take the carbs off the bike and tinker. (I'm not mechanically inclined at all. At least I haven't been up until now.) I'm getting ready to put the carbs back on in the morning....hope it still runs.

[@Siggi-Bear]

I bought a honda cb 900 boldor that has these pod filters. Currently trying to figure out where and how to put an original back on. Hard stuff when you dont know shit 🤷

[@djt64r]

Do you expect the carbs will need to be synced again, given the change to the stock air box? Great video by the way, I started restoring a 74 CB750 about the same time this series began and your vids have provided encouragement and inspiration over the course of my project.

[@DeanSegovis]

+djt64r Not because of the box, but they will because of engine break in.

[@planegaper]

ichiban makes good noodles too !!!

[@victorlevasseur2139]

Hi , when I was young I installed a second front brake on my CB750 k , beautiful but dangerous ... I fell twice before realizing that I was not holding back ... easily blocked the front wheel to the point a front wheel does not turn you find extended to you on the road ... ??? the design of the bike is made for a brake ... and ... has two brakes discuss with experts ... probably not the right caliper for two ... too powerful Victor French montreal and thank you for the good videos

[@MscottFarm]

Great T Shirt

[@AgaveDiaries]

Hi ,just a question. When I looked up hondapartsdirect they only had links to car parts after 1984? how did you order bike parts? thanks Dave.

[@HackaweekTV]

I think they changed their name. www.hondapartsnation.com/oemparts/c/honda/parts?gclid=CjwKCAjw1rnqBRAAEiwAr29II-OckNblNfFFFEx7ACneaXppzk9zD9MUmuQKJzYwRVD5WmkhtTldNhoCNRYQAvD_BwE

[@krabkrabkrab]

Everything you say about the advantages of a stock airbox is absolutely correct, but there's one additional advantage. If you've ever driven one of these with a touring fairing and no airbox, you'll hear it. The stock airbox muffles the intake noise. Even without a fairing, you'll hear the difference. It sounds tough at first with individual exposed filters, but tiresome after a while.

[@mikedelligatta7723]

hi there ...I was wondering if i could get a contact for ichbon moto ....Need to do some manifold restoration....must thanks

[@Mekhanic1]

air box=runs better. pods=tuning gremlins

[@martinchapa1516]

seems that you didn't install the rubber gasket in the separator plastic...( the middle one)...

[@DeanSegovis]

+Martin Chapa Yep, gotta order that one.

[@MrGyoza6]

Will the mods you did during your engine rebuild portion of this series be affected by running with the air box? From what I can remember without watching again, your engine isn't exactly stock.

[@DeanSegovis]

+MrGyoza6 I installed aluminum connecting rods but they don't change the displacement so it's essentially still stock as far as the carb tuning is concerned.

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Standard airboxes are the way to go! Would you bother with a Honda element over the K&N?

[@davidmancinone1541]

CB 550 is a different setup,can you do that one?

[@HackaweekTV]

I don't have a CB550. so, nope. :)

[@johnmeurer4780]

The air box is not off a f. They just say 750 f my 1975 also says the same
