Well, seeing as I've seen pic on here of K bikes with F tanks and seats I'd think it would work the reverse way.

Thanks 750K. must have been a 1977 or 1978 K frame? The earlier ones are about 1 inch shorter?

I have a 78' 750K tank and a 78' 750F frame (77F and 78F frames use the same part number per the parts fiche) that I can test fit if you like. I, too, am pretty sure it will fit. What degree of fitment do you require? i.e. will it fit the front and rear rubber tank mounts, or will it fit the tank mounts AND clear the stock 750F seat? Don't know if I have an F seat to do a full blown mockup, but I can test fit the tank to the frame this evening.

Chill out man, you could always just wait on another reply instead of spending the time to post a snarky response

Thanks for the reply madmtnmotors.
I was asking for a Ebay buyer of my CB750K tank.

I gave the prospective buyer the measurements of the CB750K tank and I did not hear back so do not waste any of your time on it. Thanks!

 Yes if you get the right seat, but you may have to dick with the hinges..
