As far as I am aware all CB 4's came with 18" rears as standard.

There you go now. Is this one of the reasons the elite look down on them?   :P

So do the pre 77 750k's have an 18" rear wheel? I'll have to check the 72 I have tarped up under the porch.

The 750 automatics had a 17" rear also but the good thing about them is they are aluminum.
