Just to say hello from the south coast UK.
      I have been working on my 78 CB 750 for a while and thought I'd like to hear what the true owners opinions were,
Greetings All.

Welcome from NC (USA).

I have a K8 and really like it.  You can view the build thread in my signature below.

I suppose the K7/K8 are not the favorites in the US because of the fuel tank shape, but not sure.

Welcome from Canada. The k7/8’s are under appreciated here, but having owned both I think they are every bit as good as the earlier versions!

They are certainly the "bargain of the bunch" if you're planning on rebuilding and going touring, just need to change the rear sprocket since our speed limits went back up. ;)
