750 k8(78)
« on: July 16, 2014, 11:57:18 AM »
Hi all,
Just bought a cb 750 K from 1978 on sat. First ever so bare with me. ;)
I bought yesterday exhaust from a 750 from '82. Dont want to take exhaust off before i know it fits.
So here my question... will it fit my bike. Wanted to put picture but cant figure out how to do so.
Thanks,

Martin.

I doubt if it will work. The 1982 is a double over head cam and you have a SOHC.
Different engine ,different frame.

They might work with some modification?

Lucky is right, the 750 DOHC is a completely different motorcycle. It will not work.

Hmm,
 Can someone tell me how i can place some pictures because it looks like someone did some welding on it.
Bought the yesterday quick last min. Now looking at it and it looks like they welded two together on both sides.
I see four exhausts but in 2 pairs if that makes sense.

Welcome tip: don't buy parts unless you know they will fit.

Do you have the pictures on your computer?
Just click below the text box, "attachments". Then browse for the desired picture file.

If the exhaust you bought has nice mufflers maybe you could chop them off and make it work on your K8.

I think what you bought is a 4-into-2 exhaust system.
