- Anyone that know which brake pedal this is?
It has the dot for fitment and spring bracket.
I bought it 1.5 years ago on Ebay sold to fit CB750.
Noticed after I have mounted the pipes a few days ago that brake will hit it.

My K6 pedal is curved outwards to avoid exhaust.
Yes, the K6 has wrong kick starter, K7 model  ;D

Interesting part! I don't remember ever seeing a brake pedal that 'straight' for the 750. They always look like they had a near-miss accident with a truck when you have one in your hand, all the curves and angles they have. Being straight will certainly make it hit the #4 pipe, which is usually outside the frame.
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

You will also find that the K6 right footpeg bracket is slightly longer than the K2. Why, i don't know  ???

 I seem to remember one of the "F" models was fairly straight as they pivoted in the alloy footrest plate

Very interesting info and good to know.
I'll check the footpeg which is not original Honda, it's a Yamiya version on that photo with straight pedal.

I seem to remember one of the "F" models was fairly straight as they pivoted in the alloy footrest plate
Did the F model have the spring bracket for brake switch?
I saw that some later did not have it.

OK, not even Hondaman recognized it ;) I had thoughts about eventual early version and pipe had an indent for it...
Maybe a CB500 something...?

 I think early does not have the stop bracket on it.. height adjust.
 I think F model may have different splinesm the 77 and 78 K do..I think..

I also think that the brake pedal us one of the ugliest pieces on the bikem always wanted a nice clean billet one..

With the bluing of the shaft in the first pic, I wonder if someone at some point heated it and straightened it.  No other reason for it to be blued that I could think of.  Perhaps it came off a bike with an aftermarket exhaust where it interfered and that was their solution.

That big glob of a weld on the pivot also seems non-Honda to me?

My F0 brake pedal from the factory is straight, uses the brake light spring and there is an indentation in the 4 into 1 collector for it.

Thanks! The mystery is solved :) The seller did sell a CB750 pedal.

I have the beginning of an F0 project! Let's find all other parts ;)

Not a K7 pedal - k7 pedal is very curvy
