Posted most of those photos elsewhere on the forum, but once more should be ok :)
Proud owner of a CB750K7, recently imported to Iceland from USA. Going to be worked on in the winter, and man, I really dont like the paint job very much!







Been a dream for several years to have one of those, and I just made it happen.

I have a lot of respect for the special little things every year and model had, but when I decided it was time for another sohc4, there wasn't a doubt in my mind it would be another 77/78F.

Blacksheep ...No not really. They were the best of all of the CB750's

They had the most improvements of all of the earlier models.
21 improvements.

New member here... My CB 750K8 is my first CB.  Previously, I have only ever owned Harleys and BSAs, so this is a whole new adventure for me.  The odometer reads 9694 and it appears to be accurate, as the bike is super clean.  I just had the carbs rebuilt by Mike Nixon at The Motorcycle Project (aka www.cb750carbs.com), replaced the pod filters with an original air box, and I am in the middle of rebuilding the front brake.  Hopefully, I will take my first ride sometime this week.

Is that color "candy brandywine"? Thats pretty close to the color I've picked out for the 66 mustang.

Thanks Gents!  I was really happy with the seat, the brown was something I wanted even before I picked out the bike color.  Paint is "candy alpha red."

Grab bar is on its way. Hoping this is going to be a good stylistic choice as I kind of like the naked rear end look.
