Honda CB750 Cafe Racer Part 6 - Fitting new foot peg brackets

[@waynehawes6906]

You can use a flap disc to finish the grinding of. Much easier.

[@forthebold]

That's the name I couldn't think of, thanks.

[@serenosouthkid13]

Every day you post a video is a great day in my book. Absolutely love your videos/projects. Keep killin it!!

[@forthebold]

Thank you, means a lot to get comments like this, thanks for watching.

[@jonjon8298]

So excited about this build as I am now working on my first bike, and it's no other than a cb750 k7 (close enough to the one your working on). Spare no detail, spare no detail! Keep up the great work, very inspiring.

[@forthebold]

Thanks, hope you enjoy the rest of it and good luck with yours.

[@iviaverick52]

I have a spare set of those same F-series footpeg mounts. I wound up swapping them out for a set from a CB1100f because the lattice style looks super cool imo. they were a drop in fit.

[@forthebold]

Excellent

[@DriversSide]

I like how you took a piece from a different model! I'm super excited to release more videos of my cafe racer build!!!

[@forthebold]

Thanks, all the best with your build.

[@stevevotta8668]

Can you tell us what the piece you subbed in is called and what "other model" does it come from? I'm doing a 1974 and am wondering will this same piece work on mine? Thanks!

[@forthebold]

In this video I put the foot rest pegs from an F model onto this K model frame.

[@stevevotta8668]

@@forthebold Thanks! really enjoying your vids man! What is the best way to determine exactly which model (sub model ) I have? I'm having the hardest time finding the (bearings) shells for the crankshaft and pistons.

[@forthebold]

There should be a description on your plate that’s bolted on the frame. Failing that any Honda dealer can tell you your bike by the VIN number.

[@jishh]

Man i wish i could get some of these to fit my bike!

[@forthebold]

Are there nothing similar? I guess the other alternative would be to find someone with a CNC? Expensive though

[@jishh]

For The Bold - dreegez nothing that will directly fit without masses of fab work and money, the gear shift would make it even harder as its direct to the engine 😅

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

Folks, try this, get Ali plate from local metal supplies (6061-T6 5/6/8mm-or sumthin similar). Make cardboard template, rough cut out with jigsaw (you can get blades for ali, WD40 helps) drill and, bolt ali plate to frame and mount "rear sets"- direct to gear box levers are a pain nowadays due to "out of the box" sportsbikes, so linkages are hard to find-. For linkages, try, Steve at Redmax Speedshop, Norman Hyde, Dave Degens (Dresda). If you need to polish stuff up without thinning out the metal too much try Dronco kit www.weldequip.com/polishing-wheel-115mm.htm. These sets come with linkage- www.redmax-ducati.co.uk/dirttrack-cafe--redmaxs-online-store.php#!/ALLOY-TAROZZI-REARSETS-UNIVERSAL-BLACK/p/34597162/category=5793166 and should sort the direct to gearbox problem.

[@topnotcharms1]

Your vids are epic! They have helped tremendously with my 1980 CB750 build

[@forthebold]

Amazing, if they came in useful that's made my day.

[@carltonolson6813]

The CB frame is looking really clean, can't wait to hear the GS and see it on the road

[@mtcounts]

Did you have to use stock bolt or bolt on same year as bracket? Thank you

[@zakoday]

Hello! Any idea which year and model those pegs came from?! Thanks, killer build!!!

CB750F Supersport 79

[@MrAdam8419]

Bike is looking good enjoying the builds, don't burn out man you are work extremely hard. Have a good one thanks for all your time on these bikes.

[@hsdlive]

Can you link the bracket please. I can’t seem to find it online

[@forthebold]

Only found from old bikes. Not new.

[@woodywoodpecker2708]

This bike looks better video by video. Keep going! Moving the foot pegs back will make it look so much nicer and riding position/handling will definitely improve. As an aside, anybody who takes an angle grinder to his bike's frame is a brave man. You are my hero.

[@forthebold]

Ha, it's even more scary when it's not your bike like this one is. But all works out ;)

[@coltcecil5015]

Hey Buddy, what did these rear set brackets come off of? Thanks for the awesome videos!

They’re off a ‘79 CB750 super sport F model

This episode is especially awesome!! I'm in the US and we only have the CB750k not KZ. I love the bike but hate the K footpegs and have been wondering if I could easily mod a K with KZ rear peg brackets. I've been looking for the answer and here it is, you've answered my question!! Awesomeness!!!

[@forthebold]

Amazing, glad this video answers your questions, happy building.

[@scottbailey5644]

Hi. Good job! Where did you get the ally rear foot pegs from? Do you know if they will fit a CB500 Four 1972? Cheers Scott

What make and model are those foot peg mounts off of? I'm just starting a build of a 79 cb750.

It's off a CB750 F Supersport.

[@jon5653]

Great videos! Much knowledge from all of these. Quick question tho, the motor bolts that go thru those pegs don't reach all the way thru it seems. Whats the solution?

[@forthebold]

Thanks, that bolt was from a CX500 as I had to previously grind the old ones off, having said that the bolt from the K is also now too short, so I've had to order one from an F Supersport.

[@jon5653]

Thank you for the info saves me a lot of future headaches. Cheers!

[@stevevotta8668]

I was able to locate the same brackets for my build. Can you please show/tell us about the new brake linkage? What did you use? Thanks.

[@forthebold]

I used the existing brake linkage, just shortened everything and re-welded to fit

[@jackkelsh5168]

Where did you happen to find these brackets? IF not what is the part number or what should i google? cheers.

[@forthebold]

You won’t find them new now or with a pet number I doubt it. Best bet is to search dismantling yards

[@oscararreola6320]

I have cb750 1981 and need to cut those side things too, what is the metal plate that was put over it

[@forthebold]

They're from an F model CB750

[@cmhallows1]

Starting to get my 79 cb 750k together and have f brackets like these but thought i’d ask, looks like I’ll need a longer swing arm and lower engine bolt to fit the larger brackets right? Probably have to search ebay but wondering if you new a source for these two longer bolts?

[@forthebold]

Yeah you do need longer ones. See if Dime City Cycles have any

[@blakecantrell8906]

How did you connect all the rear drum brake components in the back switch to another style bracket?

[@forthebold]

A straight swap and shorten the puller slightly

[@blakethompson8022]

What year model did those cast brackets come from? what year 750 frame are you working on in this video? thanks for the content and positive attitude!

[@forthebold]

From a 79 CB750F

[@crazylikeafox7341]

I was able to find a set of these and I am going the exact same modification. Question: Did you use the brake actuator from the original bike or did your brackets come with one? Mine did not.

[@forthebold]

Same levers etc, straight swap, but the rider of this bike has size 15 feet so will gain from that space back.

[@chucksdiys7007]

Why can I not find a set of peg brackets like yours? Any set I find do not have the peg location style as yours.

[@forthebold]

They're from CB750 F model

The old Grinder's getting some hammer at the mo!.. Looks well , you'll want to keep it once it's complete. Double thumbs from me

Unfortunately it's not mine to keep, otherwise I would love to.

[@rmulchi]

So, on my quest to getting rear sets installed on my 750, (made my own 6160 aluminum and bought a set from Cognito Moto) im wondering about those two bolts you are using to mount the brackets. Are the bolts long enough now that you added the brackets? Or are you going to have to make longer ones?

[@forthebold]

I've had to order a longer bolt (not that it matters as I had to cut the old one off) from a CB SuperSport to fit the extra length.

[@rmulchi]

For The Bold - dreegez thank you Sir, that makes sense. Keep up the good work. Thanks again. R.

Thanks, it does

[@minxita]

Hey, great work, following this build in-patiently :) I know the engine needs a lot of work there, so it's not so fast as we all would like to see :D However, I'm really interested how you'll remake the rear brake line, and more important gear pedal. Can't wait. And please make a video of that :D it's the tricky part. As I have Honda cb650c with foot peg being too forward problem, its like sitting on the chair, than on the motorcycle. Good luck :)

[@forthebold]

Engine is all done. Videos of it all are up. I have the foot pegs being made for me. As for the rear brake line it’s drum brake so no lines.

[@adampitts3114]

Love your channel! I'm actually about to start a CB750 project myself. Question though; what are you gaining from changing to the F model configuration?

[@forthebold]

Adam Pitts cool looks ;)

[@crazylikeafox7341]

I am doing the same project. It brings the front foot pegs and controls back what looks to be about 6 inches or so. I am Doing it to my 750C because the C is set up with more of an " American cruiser" seated position and the brake and shift levers are too close to the engine casing. So close I can not ride with boots. The F brings your feet back into more of a sporty, forward leaning position that leaves more room between the controls and the cases and it also works well if you have lowered your handlebars at all.

[@nicebone3312]

where i Can find these

[@forthebold]

I got these from ebay, off an F model CB750

[@glennmiddleton1592]

Hi. Love the channel and would like to know more about the bolt on foot peg mounts. I’m in the process of buying a CB750F2 and the peg mounts are identical to the ones you ground off. Would love to know more to find some. Great mod. Keep up the excellent channel. G

[@jp_the_ojp]

How did you know these would work? I'm looking to do the same thing on a triumph thunderbird 1995.

I didn’t. I just took a chance. But knowing that if they didn’t fit I could make them fit.

Better change the carbs if you plan on using pods. The original carbs rely on a vacuum the original air box provides to run optimally and reliably.

[@PearlFoxx]

What about the rust which is inside of the frame brother? This is kill the frame soon or later ;) Next time use some chemicals for to get off them and protect the frame. Also close all the openings which can protect the frame from rust. Honda 750 has a massive frame and I also have one. If the oxidation/rust begins inside once and if you don't do anything about it, it can break one day. You know how heavy the engine and the transmission is and soon or later during a drive the frame can be under pressure and suddenly it can cracks. I wish not but it can be really so dangerous for the person who drives it. Speak with your customer and advise him to build or buy a new frame because it's all about the safety for the driver. Just a friendly tipp Happy days! :) PS. You make great work and love your videos

Inside of the frame is ok luckily as was checked and was sealed up. Seal it back up now and all is good.
