In recent years the ready availability of CB750's and the existence of a number of different race series for which CR750 replicas are eligible has prompted a number of companies into producing items that enable the conversion of the CB into a CR replica. This well known example was built during 1999/2000 and raced over the subsequent six seasons by the present chairman of the CRMC, Roger Bryant. | In recent years the ready availability of CB750's and the existence of a number of different race series for which CR750 replicas are eligible has prompted a number of companies into producing items that enable the conversion of the CB into a CR replica.

The standard frame was modified to a similar pattern as that employed by the original CR750, incorporating extra bracing and fabricated footrest hangers mounting works pattern cast alloy footrests and a cast alloy rear brake lever. The CR750 type alloy fuel tank is equipped with a flip up fuel cap (with a titanium lever) and Honda fuel tap and is complimented by an alloy oil tank with an anti froth system, a race seat and a copy of the CR750 fairing. The four pipe exhaust replicates the original CR750 system but incorporates internal baffling resulting in a 105db noise output and has recently been repainted and repacked. The front forks utilise revised springs, sourced from the States and have had their damping modified and mount twin callipers, one of which has been modified resulting in both bleed nipples pointing to the front. Cast iron, drilled disks compliment the callipers and braided lines are used. The rear drum has been lightened and both wheels employ alloy rims that have recently been fitted with new Dunlop KR racing | The standard frame was modified to a similar pattern as that employed by the original CR750, incorporating extra bracing and fabricated footrest hangers mounting works pattern cast alloy footrests and a cast alloy rear brake lever.

The engine was built with the same attention to detail as the rest of the machine, featuring modified crankcases with the excess alloy removed, a steel cam chain tensioner wheel and a stronger go-kart sourced chain replacing the original cam chain. The K0 series head is equipped with Black Diamond racing valves and springs and a Kenny Harman D grind camshaft. Wiesco two ring pistons are connected to alloy race spec rods sourced from Japan. | The engine was built with the same attention to detail as the rest of the machine, featuring modified crankcases with the excess alloy removed, a steel cam chain tensioner wheel and a stronger go-kart sourced chain replacing the original cam chain.
