Is this an F engine in a K frame?
« on: April 22, 2017, 05:24:30 PM »
Im thinking yes...engine number is cb7502511801
Frame num is cb750E2391194
Kicker looks longer like an f.... Another question: if thats a 77 or 78 f engine and NOT a 76 with those round top carbs be all wrong? Guys offering a trade for my cb500.

I know I know...this one is a mutt...the t500 isnt charging.
Only thing stopping me. Waiting for him to sort it.  Would do it myself but theres this whole concept of time thing and not having any.lol

I have a beautiful flake orange F tank that would look diesel on that bike with a brat seat from haris and some clipons...Funny thing is I bought a green T500  from this guy last year with the 750. When I went to text him on it the old convo popped up....weird

From what I understand 77-78 F and K came with the PD carb style. Roundtops were done in 76? Nice bike, I'd get it.
I had a blue 72 K. I miss it, ran perfect.Car hit it as I stood next to it. Insurance gave me 1000. That was 10 years ago.

engine numbers tell you the real deal...not gonna look 'em up for ya.  Roundtops work great on the f2/3.  I think pd's suck.
If it works good, it looks good...

That's a CB750F0 engine. PROBABLY 3/75. It's been painted. 
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
