Great video, Dean. Hope you have a great day on Saturday and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Keep up the great work. And, I too, am looking forward to seeing your video series on the lathe. Been considering the purchase of one myself and I've always enjoyed your videos.
off all the restoration videos available, I found yours to be more detailed, more educational and more fun to watch. You have really been an inspiration. I own bike, I enjoy fixing it as and when time comes, so much so I love watching your videos. Though I don't have those special tools, nor have expertise in fixing some of those complicated stuff but still. Thank you
Cool the southbend turning machine. I am restoring a very old Tom Senior milling machine now and a metric southbend like turning machine is on my wishlist.
I have only recently come across your videos and am working my way through them, its better than the TV. I really like the way you explain everything. Im now looking for a resto project of my own. Keep the videos coming please.
Wierdly entertaining for me who knows nothing about machines like this. I've been watching all of these Honda videos and you present stuff in a great way! I think I've learned a lot and I can't wait for you next video! Thanks!!
Best wished for Saturday Dean !! ( Hope you're not going on too long a honeymoon, we want to see that engine installed and the lathe working ;) ) Darth has the right idea, that's how I installed my '77 Goldwing engine - let Mohammed go to the mountain :D
Agree on laying the engine on its side and then drop the frame over it. Get the the engine bolts in, then lift the frame up along with the engine. I did that to my 1981 gs550 and it was a snap. One man job!
first congrats to you and your future wife. im doing a frame off resto on my 73 750. the way i put my engine in was i propped the engine on its side and placed the frame over it. i powdered coated the frame and didnt want to scar it up. it worked perfect. the frame never touched the engine. i put the engine bolts on and a friend helped me lift the bike right side up. you can just slide the front forks out and remove the rear wheel so you can lift the frame with ease. enjoying your vids as usual. :)
Easiest way to fit the engine is to lay the frame over but I would love to see a crazy engine hoist jig to fit it. I have dreamed of one for many years. Do it Dean!
Great find with the lathe. I've turn many parts on the same model as yours. Lots of parts out there for them so you should have a nice setup when its all done. Good luck and great job.
Another option to get engine in frame. Lay engine on its side, strip bike to frame. Put frame on its side over engine. Chalk with wood under frame to align engine mounts. Bolt up. Put wheels back on frame and tilt up bike with engine attached.
How about you put something on the floor to protect the engine, lay it on its right hand side and drop the frame over the top of it. Bolt it in place on its side, then put the bike up right and make any adjustments.
Dino,your videos on this build are the best! I am doing a 75 750K. And your videos are greatly helping my build and learning process. Thank you so much,and congratulations on your wedding. I have a quick question,is the rear tire offset to the right(clutch side of bike) in relation to the frame? Mine is,and I wasn't sure about it. The frame is straight,and I have the spacer in on that side. Thanks in advance Dino.
here in Western Australia, we have a speed limit of 110kph about 65mph and we have some wide-open spaces out here. you can ride all day without seeing anybody only emu's n kangaroos n tiger snakes. on my last ride, my mate riding in front of me ran over a tiger snake and it flicked up onto my lap. shit myself got a bit of a wobble up but didn't come off. out of the 10 most venomous snakes in the world 8 are here in Australia. i do digress sir country riding on my k7 four I have a 14 x 45 setup but in the city, I prefer a 13 x 46 setup. you might say GIDDAY to all your Australian followers especially us from down under Ravensthorpe. if they ever let you out of the US of A then let us know beforehand and we will look up you.

8 years later and i am using these videos to restore my k3 cb750, thank you so much
Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
that was a lot of waiting...thanks for all of CB750 videos...found a lot of fun :) can't wait for final assembly
The moment he finally starts the engine is going to be so cathartic for all of us who have watched him build this bike.
Great video, Dean. Hope you have a great day on Saturday and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Keep up the great work. And, I too, am looking forward to seeing your video series on the lathe. Been considering the purchase of one myself and I've always enjoyed your videos.
Congratulations on the wedding. Have a blast.
Once again, well done! I am able to apply nearly everything that you walk through in these videos to my 79 CB650 rebuild. Big thanks from Madison, WI.
I Could watch a 3 hour long video on the cb750! Nice thanks

Been following since Episode 1. Very informative. Have a 72 CB750 myself. Congrads on the upcoming nuptials. 42 years here.
Thanks for the latest update. I would like to wish you and Lisa all good things for your upcoming wedding.

Whooohooo, back on the bike again instead of boring stuff ;-) :-p

All the best to you and Lisa on the 18th....and of course every other day too!
Best series on youtube. Thank you!
Woot wooooooo you just made my Saturday morning special! lol :)
_congratulation sir on your weeding_
Thank you for your video blog. I love it!

Thanks for sharing.
😃Congrats for both of you!😃
Another great video! Thanks
Wow, I didn't know those Honda's had so much engineering on them.
Thank you for your videos, they are very good.
I agree with Darth. Putting the frame over the engine might be the easiest option.

congrats on getting hitched dude. best to you and the missus!
After you get married we want to see more Lisa in the shop! Even race bikes have umbrella girls!
Congratulations! !!👏👍
Finally!!! Been waiting for this upload forever!!!!
Congrats with the upcoming wedding!
Like the bike vids but I don't think the others are boring at all ;-)
Very good videos !!
Great video
Senor Dino:
I love how "your insanity" - mirrors my own, thank you for sharing. Love this build.

How about you put something on the floor to protect the engine, lay it on its right hand side and drop the frame over the top of it. Bolt it in place on its side, then put the bike up right and make any adjustments.
Rafael Lecuona yeah, ever see a road side mechanic work in India? :)
I haven't tried it, but I've heard of peeps using this method.
Congrats for your upcoming marriage!

not sure if you are aware, but this is the only video in the cb750 series not included in the motorcycle playlist
I think that sprocket cover is to just catch chain lube and bring it back to the other side without making a mess of the axle area.
YAY! MOTORCYCLES!
Congratulations and have a good time on your Wedding day.

Robert is not my mother's brother, but congrats on getting married.
And have a great happy day on your blessed Wedding day.
Very Best Wishes to you both for your upcoming marriage on the 18th
Have a wonderful day
I wonder if you could get some shoulder dollies and find a way to get it in the frame?
great video, also you gonna do a series on the lathe restoration?
novachannel1981 Yep... 23:48
more of a hypothetical laugh
-just take everything off the bike and lift the frame on to the engine
:)
hi friend. did you replace the sterring wheel lock in the middle of the front fork? how? thanks
Where did you get your new rear wheel dampers? Thanks
What are those tires? Avon? How about your rear shocks? Stock? I'm looking for replacement options for my CB450
don't know if you know on the honda 750 you gotta remove the oil filter housing to get the motor in
Hi! Could you tell me what brand is the rear sprocket?
Where is the other spacer on the left side? Is there one?
Like Darth said, drop the frame over the engine.
can the sprocket go on either way? what is the optimum cog sprocket teeth size for city work against country touring please ?
Not sure but if it's a used one it should go back on the same way it came off. The stock setup works fine.

I would have installed the engine in the bare frame laying sideways. Then build bike
please tell me Lisa is the cb750's name
Is it just me or should that power sander have never been near that brake hub? Looks like you took some meat off of it
Jess Bonde It's you. :)
***** Good for you! I enjoy your videos
Jess Bonde I enjoy making them! Thanks for watching Jess.
