Topic: 1976 cb750A Front LEFT Engine Mount

[BenelliSEI]

Looking at pictures of “Guts” 1976 cb750A restoration from back in 2022. Superb work! I noticed the front left engine mount is a fabricated unit, two plates with bolts. I’ve often wondered why the 1977 cb750K has this special mount and it then went back to the welded lug style for 1978 cb750K. I’ve never seen a reasonable explanation for that single year variance. I wonder is the cb750A frame identical to that year cb750K? Is that removable mount required to get the cb750A engine in and out of the frame? Picture is the cb750A. Looks the same to me. Interesting…

Hey John....seem to recall this conversation a year or so ago and an explanation was never determined?

I've never had or even seen an A model in person but am still curious too.

Steve…. Me again. I keep bring it up. I find it extraordinary that with all the detail we have on just about any detail of this model, this one has never been explained. Seeing this bracket on the cb750A seems a clue?,
