Topic: Oil Filter Cover?

[750K5]

Does anyone know if the oil filter housing on a 750 was originally painted or polished?
Thanks

and I believe CB750F oil covers may have been painted black.

Side question, ekpent... when you say that are you referring to the additional finned "plate" or "spacer" (BASE, OIL FILTER, part# 15416-410-000  https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb750f2-750-super-sport-1977-usa_model491/base-oil-filter_15416410000/#.XmuiSahKiUk ) that is sandwiched between the case and the oil filter cover... or do you mean that the oil filter cover itself has additional fins?  This goes to something I'm trying to figure on out my bike, which is a bit of a frankenstein... in that it's a K2, but has the F-style oil filter cover.  I've read that the oil filter covers themselves are the same, but they have different part numbers when you compare parts fiche from the Ks to the Fs.

 I was speaking of the additional plate, not sure if the covers are different or not. 1977 and 78 are to new for me

The housings are all the same size. The 77-78 750F housings are painted black and the '69 sandcast housing is smooth (no fins).

Assumed OP has a K model by looking at his forum name

And yet I have a K that has an F housing. So it’s potentially relevant.

Fair enough.   OP - what bike you have?
