Bert it doesn't fit because eBay says so, or because you know this? I don't trust eBay parts list, wrong 25% of time

Ebay probaly says it doesnt fit because its not standard for a 750k4.
Why do you want an offset sprocket anyway?
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Do you need the bolt holes, because that looks like the splines of a 77-78 sprocket.

77-78 don't need the retainer bolt holes. It's also a 630. non offset on a 25mm shaft.
cb750 k7

 OK you're talking about the retainer holes not the splines.

I think he needs the two extra holes for a 74. The 77-78 does not have or need them they use the large center bolt. The offset is the issue. How much offset? The 77-78 have a 10mm offset but it is on the rear sprocket carrier.
icbw but don't think so

I know you said you found someone to make one. But could you explain what it is you are doing? Did you change something in the rear?

Bert - they’re pretty easy to make. Take your existing sprocket, weld on a spacer on the backside, just be sure to index the sprocket so the retaining groove is still usable. I made one for a member in CO, but I had to turn the outside radius down to allow for the retainer (550 motor).

Took about an hour start to finish, even with the welding.

No. Why would there be? Welded parts become a single component. And you can get even closer tolerances by using a lathe to turn down the thickness to 100% match the offset you need.
