Is a 1978 CB750 trans cover the same for K and F? Look the same, but not sure. Thanks.

I haven't read of a different depth of the Trans covers, just the front sprocket cover of the 77/78 models(offset sprocket)compared to the earlier models.

The engines made after 1976 (but not all, just to keep it interesting...) have a 'taller' clutch cover, but the shifter covers are the same, if that's the one you mean?
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.
