Honda CB750 Restoration - Test Running the Naked Transmission Part 11

In this chapter, we have all gearbox bearings sorted and refit it to the lower case for a dry run. All looks good… kinda… then I discover a silly mistake before achieving a happy ending.
Hope you enjoy,

Putting a bearing in the freezer will absolutely not alter it metallurgically.

Did you ever get the impression that the government no longer works for our benefit? It's becoming more apparent to me that they don't want us to drive any longer. It's highway robbery too, here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Peter about those chains: Change them as well, 1.5 mm stretch can happen quicker than you think. If those clutch springs are too hard for you, heat them for a time and soften them up yourself. You can always easily change them out later if you're not satisfied.

[@mohuckmedshishkeblob1712]

Har har silly mistake yes I had the same problem, the drum moving in and out. Next I did question the spacer tubes in the springs and the two different lengths, short one for the neutral arm spring ok good. Thanks for the Video.

[@beedalbahgraham2981]

Great video Peter. You taught me how to get organised when I first started my mini resto and it made things soooo much easier. After you finish the CB I will have a go at refurbishing a spare gearbox. Thank you for all the skills you have passed on. 🚙

If your neighbour hears about you lubing up your dogs you'd probably get arrested :P

Rego here in Victoria is highway robbery, $800, went up from about $781 last year, just a for a humble stock standard VY Commodore Executive sedan.

[@Andrew.quigley]

sp19822 Dam right. I couldn't afford the rego on my XJ900 and car every year. So the bike had to go. Rego on the bike was just as much as the car. Total rip off.

[@Mercmad]

Queensland is the same so i have put my favorite vehicle on club reg, $150 per year but not possible to drive as normal car,only on test runs within a 5k radius and club events. i do a fair bit of testing.....

[@WesW3187]

Phew! Got me beat. Brilliant, Peter.

[@bg147]

Great book. These are great looking bikes.

[@hugelavalava]

Nice way to start the weekend Peter. Thanks mate👍

[@PeterAndersons]

No problem, enjoy. Cheers

[@skigibbo8056]

Thank you Peter - interesting & entertaining as usual

[@PeterAndersons]

Cheers Dean

[@DatBlueHusky]

keep up man, its great seeing a guy rebuild things like this

[@acoow]

Awesome video as usual, Mr. Anderson.

[@cloudy3222]

at 19:08 the crankshaft bearing oil holes don't have oil galleries behind them, are they the other side's bearings?

[@aarone8013]

Phew... I was getting withdrawals! Also I understand that car rego is MORE of a rip off in South Australia - believe it or not.

[@whorayful]

Tell me about it, you CAN get blood out of stone if you squeeze enough.!

[@MidwestMotoRider]

You are right Hackaweek did a great job. Yours will be very helpful also so keep up the great work!

[@johnnykompo9104]

G'day pete Hope your well!

[@mrfrog3350]

Cool vid. I'm curious. When you register your vehicles,is that for the duration of the ownership or do you pay to renew every year like we do here in the U.S.? I always wondered why so many cars in your part of the world were 4 doors,but I think it was you that told me that 2 door cars are really expensive to insure.Thanks for posting.

[@PeterAndersons]

Yes, disgusting... they aligned it with the CPI... But, you can run 4 classic cars/bikes (25yrs or older) on 90 day permits cheaper than the cost of one vehicle registration. It just means that you're off the road 5 days of the year.

[@klipstone1]

What do you mean OUR? ;) always stoked to see what you are up to, good to watch while I clean up ghosts of windscreens past.

[@PeterAndersons]

You're right... 'the' is more suitable, so I changed it. Cheers

[@klipstone1]

Oh Mate you didn't have to do that :), it's just I might get made fun of for having anything to do with Honda hijinks.

[@Peterjohn32]

where did you get that 9v battery torch? its been doing my head in

[@marianheaney9803]

Awesome!

[@2burning2turning]

Winning

[@PeterAndersons]

First cab off the rank - How you doing mate?

[@2burning2turning]

Just cracked the lid on my favourite ice cream and watching the latest vid. I've been watching your videos since the xw and loving every minute. Keep them coming.

[@andrewverellen6385]

Did this project ever get done to completion?

[@stasilius85]

what video/channel you mentioned in 5th minute?

[@PeterAndersons]

Was it Hackaweek?

[@stasilius85]

Yes.

[@jimgoodwin6440]

Can you provide a link to this "hackaway" channel you keep referring to? I tried search for it but either I have the name wrong or it's getting lost in the noise.

[@PeterAndersons]

kzbin.info/aero/PL8SLiVEQM9KNBccNx4p2W9W5ggKPFy30w try that...

[@jimgoodwin6440]

Beautiful!! Thanks, Peter!

[@jimgoodwin6440]

That's fantastic! What a great channel! Thanks so much.

[@bbtmc]

To be fair our rego also includes third party insurance. But yes, we are being robbed.

[@PeterAndersons]

Very true.

[@m.tortul]

el loco de la grasa es este jajaja

[@scottycollins131]

How did Australia become such a socialist pit with slave level taxation? As Americans we tend to think of Australians being pretty much like us; cousins if not brothers. I have often thought I would love to migrate there. Seems I can't afford it. Very sad.

[@Mercmad]

While peters page aint the place to get into politics the whole taxation thing went mental here when the socialist labor were elected. Think of them like democrats gone crazy. I remember a time in OZ when we paid little tax , everything was affordable and Joe average had a pocketful of cash. .But as Maggie Thatcher said, "socialism only works until you run out of other peoples money" back to the topic.......

[@scottycollins131]

Yeah. I didn't mean to get political. He's such a gentle, soft spoken guy and I love his videos on the 750. I was just stunned that it would cost $800 to register a motorcycle. With some hard shopping I could buy an old bike like that for less than $800 here in America. Liberal is one thing but that kind of taxation? Whoa. I guess I sort of knew it was that bad from watching Mighty Car Mods but still. . .

[@scottycollins131]

Is New Zealand as expensive?

[@Mercmad]

It used to be insanely cheap. in my teens I paid $5.00 a year to register my '39 Ford Coupe. :-)

[@scottycollins131]

We are slowly getting 2JZ engines and tranmissions over here. At least I just noticed this happening in the last year or so. I wonder what a container of bikes would cost to have shipped here. I am going to find out. Mint condition CB350s and 550s are knocking on $3,000 now. 750s would go for more. In the right market. But it still possible to find these things in a shed or at an estate sale for $500 or less. Much less in the right situation.
