Good guess. Its a 78 750k8. It was a 750 till we punched it to an 829. Think thats what it gauged at. Anyway, 40 over. Its a little more cold natured than it was before with the compression changes and all but when its warm, look out.

71cb750......As for pix, 99% of my rides are quickies at night on weekends by myself. Sure wish i had a pic of that damn deer that crossed my path on the highway the other nite. His eyes were about wide as mine. They all look the same at 100mph. Big and dangerous.

Glad to hear it has been improved upon......not knowing the K8 real well, I believe they had a few issues with valve guides, from all reports on the forum..

watch out for deer - they are a bit like kangaroos - mongrels to see in the dark and they pop up when and where you least expect..
