Interesting in that I had a 1974 CB750 and a black 2000 CB750 Nighthawk. I still wonder why Honda abandoned self adjusting valves? ESPECIALLY now with labor rates approaching $150 per hour.

The 84-86 CB 700SC nighthawk had 80 hp, 6 speeds, dual discs front, self adjusting valves and shaft drive. They should have never stopped making THAT!

As you might have expected, the OEM mufflers corroded very quickly.
