    Welcome to the site Bishop from Yorkshire in England. Can't help with the build cos I'm a deer wth no eyes (no i-dea lol) but I'm sure there'll be lots of folk who have the right sort of advice. It's a really friendly forum so get stuck in and enjoy the banter (o:

    I am new to the site as well but rode a CB750 for years...I used to get parts at a salvage place in Richmond Ca. I will see if I can find 'em again and send you a link. eBay or Craigslist is good too.

    Welcome from extreme northwestern Pennsylvania.

    Back in the day the 750 4 cylinder was a popular alternative to building a Harley chopper.
    I could imagine that at decent sized motorcycle swap meets there should be all the stuff you need.

    welcome sir, I think you can try through cycle source Mag. Its on line and its slightly different that what is out there. There is a group of builders that call themselves the Limpnickie Lot, and they do all old bikes mostly American, but there are a number of cafe' racers in their ranks that might be able to help you. have a great one "T"

     Welcome from Southern Georgia.  I hope you enjoy the site like we all do!  
    I'm currently working on my own Honda CM400T (1980) and have looked a lot of online places because of lack of salvage yards around me.  But I did find a little site that may help you out.

    http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/ />
    http://www.oldbikebarn.com/Street/Honda />
    These are 2 I have found but have not gotten the chance to use them yet.

    Hey all ty much for advice and the welcome its great to find a home like this. I just searched ebay found 1 for 89 but it is 79-80 yr will it fit in 78 frame or should i look for something 78 and below. bought an 83 she deffinitely did not want to fit.

    Welcome to the site. I'd check the internet for restored bikes for sale, and Honda 750 motors for sale, and motorcycle salvage. I know that's general and vague, but the best advice I can offer.
