CB750 K2: Short grab bars or one around the seat?
« on: October 06, 2017, 11:48:19 PM »
I'm looking for which grab bar to use on a CB750 K2 build. CMSNL show both versions, 2 separate small grab bars and one around the entire seat like my K6 has.
David Silver has the small bars when searching on CB750K2
I find many bikes without bars when searching photos of CB750.

- Which grab bar was most common on the K2?  (All experiences welcome, European as well as US models)

 USA K2 bikes had the full grab bar hoop with the integrated turn signal mounts. 1971 and earlier had the small grab handle mounted on the rear side. Have a K2 in my garage right now I brought home from the shop recently to finish out the riding season with and get some miles on.

I had an "all around" one, and also made something like it on my later F1, because that had the grabrails under the seat. I think it looks better and is easier for passengers too.

Thanks guys! This make it easier for me since I have a restored full grab bar (new chrome) and new blinker mounts with all blinkers also new.
I'll build the bike from scratch with parts, not a complete bike I have teared down so I know how it should look like. It will be stock except using allen heads on engine covers. I might fall, hit my head and change my mind to use stock X-bolts.... I feel it coming right now....

X-bolts will look better. I have to find correct tool to tighten them :)
