If your tired of the goofy wire wound sealing gaskets for the exhaust port try a Harley Sportster part ! Sportsters from 2004 and up have a crossover or connecting pipe between the mufflers that use a grafoil type gasket that works very well as a replacement for the gasket on the CA95's exhaust port ...

dreamrider , sent you a PM , kartgreen

It's going to be one sweet ride once your finished ! Take it to some car/bike shows or cruise-ins and you'll be amazed at the attention the bike will get . Even the grizzled old veteran Harley riders will stop and tell you about their first bike . Most likely a Honda !

Lars , thanks ,I'll checkout your site . I hangout , do a little work at Spikes Vintage Motorsports . They do a lot of vintage bike restorations as well as getting and keeping the old dogs running . They have an amazing mechanic with 30/35 years of motorcycle experience .
Your right about the ...

Lars , Thanks . Kind of like many of us I enjoy breathing life into these old bikes . The orange 1978 should be finished in the next week or so and I plan on finding a new owner for it . If it doesn't sell on Craig's List I'll take it to AMA Vintagefest along with several other bikes to show and ...

Looks like your taking the time to do it the right way . There's a great satisfaction knowing you've resurrected at 45 year old bike that many people have never seen before .
Don't be afraid to do your own paint work , take your time let everything dry and start wet sanding and then polish and wax ...

Just looked at your photo album and Wow ! , two gorgeous Benly's . It's great you have them back on the road for your enjoyment as well as everyone that gets to see a bit of history .

I agree with Chip , You don't currently have enough lever travel to engage the brakes fully . . Also , see if you have an old time brake shop in your area . If they can turn drum brakes they should also be able to grind your brake shoes to give you a more fuller contact area . Right now your using ...

Haven't been on the forum a lot lately but that hasn't stopped the projects .
Here are a couple of pic's of 2 Honda CbB 750 Autos that I'm working on . The orange bike is a 1978 Cb750 A and the green bike is a 1977 CB750 A .
I purchased the 78 last summer as a very rough "Farm " bike . Literally ...

If you mirror mounting holes are 10 mm and you have 8mm stems just install 8mm thread inserts in the 10mm threads . they screw right in.

Looks like your making great progress wiht your bike . For some odd reason upper chain guards are easy to find and lower guards are like hen's teeth . Your lower guard can be repaied though . Cutout the rusted metal and weld in new metal .

Morris Classic motorcycle oil . I don't have any slippage problems although the plates do stick together when the bikes sit for an extented period of time .
Make sure you've adjusted the clutch freeplay properly .The barrel adjuster on the left cover should have a slight gap between the adjuster and ...

Try reclocking the arm on the splined shaft to get the brake shoes closer to the brake drum .

Sam , your too late , I've already blamed you and my wife says if she ever gets her hands on you ! Actually she has a 1980 Cm 400 A and I just bought a 2009 Suzuki Burgman 400 for her .
I am looking for a set of spoked wheels for the 750 Auto , it came with the Comstars on it . I know you have some ...

I agree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Holidays to everyone !!!!!!
By The Lake , only you would be out on you bike in weather like that ! Hope you enjoyed the ride .
Chip . I'm putting rings in the Red bike , should be back together this week . Also doing a little polishing of various parts .
