hello! very good video explaining how to do it. I have the same model of motorcycle and I would like to know how you managed to remove the battery as well as how to connect things that work at 12v, you would help me a lot in my project since I can't find how to do it anywhere. thank you!

Not gonna lie, you moved way too quick through reconnecting the two carb half’s together. That’s the hardest part and in my opinion you should’ve spent more time on that area or atleast slowed it down so people could actually see what you are doing

Turning obsolete touring bikes into fun urban coffee shop bikes is better than scrapping them, and losing as much weight as practical improves the rather weak power to weight ratio. Don't worry about purists because they're so old the last will be dead in ten years. The only Airheads worth saving are the ancient roller bearing bikes and real S models. BTW for those who don't know you can bolt on earlier kick start gearboxes as the Airheads have high interchangeability.

Honestly that seems pretty high to me but bike prices might be higher where you live. I wouldn't go over 2k for a dohc cb750 unless it was in exceptional condition.

Complimenti! Sei molto bravo, ho 79 anni,, mi hai portato in dietro di circa 52 anni quando acquistai una BMW R 75/5 che la modificai completamente, (allora non esistevano freni a disco e montai anteriormente un tamburo a 4 ganasce) montai un serbatoio in vetroresina, una mono sella montata su piccolo telaio imbullonato sullo stesso punto dell'originale, montai una carenatura, marmitte a tromboncino, mezzi manubri, cercai anche di alleggerirla più possibile il risultato fu eccezionale (chiaramente per quei tempi che non esistevano BMW sportive), me la sono goduta per circa 5 anni, è stata la moto che mi ha dato più soddisfazioni di tutte quelle che ho avuto...Un saluto da Roma👋👍👍👍

That's where the manufacturer designed it to mount, so I assume they took it's position into account. (I don't have any ties to eme or enduralast) The cover does block airflow, but is vented to open air, at least. We haven't had any problems with it.

Some beginner confusion & differences in parts which is to be expected and the shimming procedure seems unnecessary but all in all, not that bad. Then again I'm getting used to changing 19 filters and cleaning 20 magnetic plugs with their mesh screens, filling 7 different hard to reach ports with oil and then airing the system on my LC4, and still having to change worn out rocker bearings yearly... Too bad I didn't get an airhead a couple years ago when they were 3 grand. Now they are upwards of 6 with none for sale that aren't wrecked into cafe racer garage ornaments. Thanks for the clear vid, will be useful in the future.

Yes, there's nothing difficult on the airhead, it's just a lot of silly pain-in-the-ass stuff to get through. Perhaps I over-dramatized a bit... seems like the Austrians have the Germans beat on over-complicated engineering. Certain models, at least in my area, can still be had for a deal. For whatever reason, the /7's are still usually cheap here. I did get pretty lucky with the PD, those have gotten expensive in the past few years. Thanks for watching man-
