K7/K8 throttle cable...which ones?
« on: November 04, 2013, 10:00:34 AM »
I'm wanting to replace my throttle cables on my k8 with K1 bars.

Do I really need to give honda $100 for the cables or is there a more cost-effective option?

Flybox---I'm assuming that CB750s all used the same throttle cables. Is there a need to email and confirm that it will fit?

750 bikes with pd carbs(77/78k,f,...do '76f have pd's?) have different cables...motion pro cables are fine also
If it works good, it looks good...

CB 750 K7/K8 and 550K3 use a different set than the previous 750s (Honda part # are 17910-405-610 / 17920-405-610). The set on EBay, which is also made in Japan, will fit your bike.

The 1977-78's have the accelerator pump system. The 1976 model does not.
