Will these Fit my bike ?? sidecovers for a 1976 cb750F ??
« on: July 16, 2006, 02:15:22 AM »
If anyone can let me know if these sidecovers being auctioned on Ebay will fit my bike.

I have a 1976 cb750 F frame... they look the right shape etc,, but seller reckons they are definitley only for the K series..

I thought they looked like the F series sidecovers???

any assistance greatly appreciated...will probably not be able to afford these anyway... but nice to know if I am looking at the right stuff.... thanks  :)

The right one will fit, but the left will only fit 77/78 F

...having owned and rebuilt a 77F and a 78F, I can tell you those are DEFINITELY 77/78 Super Sport side covers.  Pity for the seller...not nearly as many people will see the acution becuase its not labled correctly.  If any body has been looking for these, I'd jump on them as the price won't go as high as it would if they were labled correctly...

They are 77-78 cb750f only. The 76 had round pegs  and these had  rectangle pegs on top and a round one on the bottom. Don't bid! I need them! ;D

I have to disagree (sorry), but both of my '76 750F's have rectangular top pegs with a round on on the bottom.  The frame grommets will dictate which side covers will fit.
