The fog light is a standard H3 bulb, there are replacements readily available. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0KNSM) The only issue with...
Well due to the lack of other ideas, I'll assume that's what most people agree on and what I'll do. Just do my best to get it up and running the...
Well I finally got Cylinder 1 up to the correct valve shim clearance, so now all valves are within tolerances. I did another compression test, and...
[img] [img] Dunno if these will help since they're from the 750, but maybe. Sorry about the mount being blurry on the second one. Camera's...
There's the diagam that Polock posted near the beginning of this thread, but that's about all that i've seen on it. Rebuilding the valve section...
I took some pics of the master cylinder rebuild and it's extremely easy. I'm about 1500 miles from my computer though at the moment, but...
Lol. For the past few weeks or so, while searching through posts and posts for walkthroughs on stuff, I kept thinking "Man, we could really use a...
The same thing happened to me with the stretched out bullet connector sockets. I squeezed them together with the pliers and all of a sudden the...
If you mean how they're getting the data, there's a variety of sensors that they use. wire coil around one of the spark wires for RPM, hookup to...
I didn't clean the old oil out really. Most of the gunk was at the bottom so i wiped all that I saw out with a rag and refilled.. I wasn't sure...
Well, I woke up this morning and decided while I wait to see what can be done about my valves, I'd go ahead and pull the carbs because I need to...
If you can get the bike started using the same method, by bridging the two large terminals on the starter solenoid, then it's most likely that...
I believe that the console does not go through it's check until the engine is running, otherwise the headlamp would fail every time as it does not...
Ohhh.. didn't know that. So basically just hafta wait until they're out of spec before I can replace them. The only thing that's got me a bit...
Heyhey guys. Well, got the front end put back together. Installed the new stainless steel brake lines and new bolts, and redid all the wiring...
Well one of the other things they have is older-style rounded gauges with digital insides.. some bits for converting harleys to digital, which...
Was lookin' around on YouTube and found a pretty darn cool looking instrument cluster by a company named Koso. [img] And a more compact...
Brake master cylinder is next... Then carbs and valves!
BTW, just as "proof" that the 750 Seca forks' damper rods don't have the slot for a tool to rest in, I took a picture of the damper rod. These are...
Either way, there's an illustration of how it should look and how to hold it when you're fastening the bolt.
The Mac 4-into-1 setups come with a bracket with an angle specifically to keep the centerstand from hitting the exhaust on the 750s. There are no...
Glad it'll help out! There's a couple little things I'm discussing with Chacal about it; I'm going to be taking some more pictures and adding a...
Haha.. Just one.. stopped that reeeeal quick. But yeah, I already had the forks all apart and such. TIMEtoRIDE came by and hooked me up with...
Definately. That is an awesome diagram of the anti-dive units.. though I don't go into detail on the overhaul on mine, that's a great little graphic.
This is my first real how-to, so if there's incorrect information here, please let me know so I can fix it.. I'm just going off of what I saw and...
The Hayes manual I have states 14ft-lbs for the 750 models. I torqued it there and that seemed like about how much it was to take it off.
With the Mac exhausts, they're the same pipes for the Seca and Maxim, but they provide you with two different mounting brackets (of different...
The rear brakes are really simple mechanically. A little rectangular piece rotates and pushes the shoes apart. If it's not pushing them far...
Yeah. It was a problem with me to get the original tire out, mainly cause it was a 140! Waaaay too big. It'll come out, you just need to finagle...
I just put a black Mac 4-into-1 on the 750 Seca. This is the one I purchased: http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_c ... kuId=44437 From...
I guess I'm still not getting this, my seal seems to have a sharp edge on both sides.. The only difference is that there's a large gap on one side...
I've ordered over $1000 in parts from Len, and they've gotten here quick, safe, and correct! Helping to make sure that you're ordering the right...
Over $1000 of parts ordered and very satisfied with the service, speed of shipping, and availability. Thanks for all the help Len!
HMMM. Perhaps the front forks are from an '81 as well then... The instrument cluster had a paint-pen "'81 750 Seca" on it, meaning it was from...
Max, the object is to push the extension's square end through the plug from the opposite side until it clicks into place. Basically you're...
Alright.. my 13/16" socket does not have a 19mm outer nut, it's much larger. My 5/8" does have a 19mm outer nut, but it just spins in the tube. I...
I suppose my next question is: What size of spark plug wrench is used to hold onto the end of the dampening rod? All the posts i've seen on the...
It ended up that I had to pound a screwdriver into between the lower fork and the seal to bend the metal that's inside the seal away, then pry it...
Well I'm tearing down the forks.. I got the top half of one apart, but the dust seal is proving to be extremely difficult to get off. I chipped...
[img] That seemed to work for my bike's PO. :P Hammer and a screwdriver or something.
Well, as I'm getting all the necessary parts in for redoing the front brakes and such, I figured I'd might as well attempt to get the anti-dive...
I think the 750 Seca came with a 120/90-18 rear stock. The PO on my bike had installed "A huuuge tire!" as he put it. It was a 140/90-18.....
It was $650. Not terrible.. but as I go I find more interesting things.. Had to wait on the new tire and such so I decided to pull the...
Yeah, call me crazy but I like the 'different' look of the square lights.. I love the little driving light beneath it, even though it doesn't do...
Updates on the 750! Well, got the new Mac 4-into-1 exhaust in, along with some new brakes and a Bridgestone Spitfire 130/90-18 rear tire. Threw...
I guess as an additional question.. does Chacal carry the SSS for the 750 Seca? I was looking on ebay and saw one that said it was for 650/750, do...
I've been planning on using an impact wrench on mine.. it seemed to work well on the exhaust bolts, and i'd assume those are baked on as bad, if...
Yeh, in Florida to get an antique plate it has to be 30 years old or older, with an engine at least that age. Few more years before my bike's...
