This bike is spectacular.
Engine is painted and covers are painted with a clear only if I'm not mistaken.

I worked on my Dad's 82 750 Nighthawk a bunch. The guys over at DOHC Customs Forum (www.cb750c.com) are very knowledgeable about those bikes. There's a ton of info over there, but as with most other forums - the vibe is a tad bit different. Read the New Members link as they suggest - they're not very forgiving of folks breezing in and popping off questions that have been asked 100's of times.

Things that come to mind - don't alter the stock air cleaner as those carbs need the common box. Check your valve clearances, then bite the bullet and order the necessary shims - nobody has used shims in the size you need.

Other than that, those 750's run like scalded cats - and that's a good and proper way to ride 'em.

I've found a bit of time to keep on working on that beast.

The rear of the bike has been disasembled.
Now it's time to clean clean clean.
And then I will refresh the frame paint.
Next will be the engine make over. I started polishing the cover to see what it would look like. I'll then repaint the rest of the engine.

It's going slowly but surely.
