CB 750A Hondamatic

CB 750A Hondamatic The sound file is from the 750 Honda that I had in Germany. Betsy is a 1977 CB 750A Hondamatic. In her 33 years, she is still running strong having lived in the eastern part of Canada; Edmonton, Calgary, Alberta;and now southern Alberta near Cardston. She isn't a fast bike but speed is not an important factor in Canada (I'm from Germany where there is was virtually NO speed limit on the Autobahn). Being an automatic motorbike seems to be strange. There was a limited number built over a short period of time for the North American market. She drives like any other motorbike and all that's different is there is no clutch.

I made some modifications: added a second disk brake on the front wheel and also drilled both disk brake rotors for better brake performance. I discovered, while test riding the bike, that the original master cylinder was too small, so I installed one with a larger piston. I attached a larger rear tire to a newly laced and trued 16 inch rim wheel hub. To be able to fit the shock lowering kit, I had to change the swing arm which is from a K6 model. The chain guard is a custom model. In 1998, I finally replaced the mufflers with 4 into 2 system, turn-out style, (see photo). Many of the parts I purchase from a shop in Calgary, TJ's.
More on the muffler system: I ordered it through a bike dealer in Calgary who ordered it from: MAC Products, Inc. 43214 Black Deer Loop, Box 113 Temecula, CA 92590-3473 Phone: 800-367-4486
They are 4 into 2 turn out style slip on mufflers. They are designed for Honda CB750 K 3-6. I had do some modifications to make them fit on my bike. The mufflers won't fit the pipes of the Hondamatic so I got some pipes from a Honda CB750 K6 and cut them down so the turn out style mufflers would slide 1 1/2 to 2 inches over the pipes. I also had to modify the muffler bracket so that I could fasten it to the passenger foot peg. The side stand was in the way so I added a piece to make the part that the stand is attached to longer. With these mufflers, you don't need to adjust the jets of the carborator. It seems like a lot of work but the end result is nice. They also have a nice sound.
