cb 750 k4 HEADLIGHT BRACKETS
« on: August 21, 2012, 08:40:44 am »
Hi folks

         Will the headlight brackets from a honda cb750 k2 fit a k4 as they are different part numbers, honda has discontinued the k4 ones but k2 ones are still available, i think the only difference is the indicator mounts

cheers
Andy

Without knowing either model in full, I would bet they headlight ears can be used in either model. My K1 has no indicator mount - the indicator stem is used to hold the headlight in place. But the difference in part number can be just because of the color.

K2 onwards had chrome headlight ears, therefore, the difference in part number can be because of the different location of the indicator mount. I would do this: check the upper and lower triple tree part number - if they are the same for K2 and K4, then the distance between upper and lower is the same, then the headlight ears must be compatible.

Yes, they fit the trees perfectly.

I'm still chuckling at your forum name........... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
