   Except for colors and badges the tank is the same for the F bikes. Right side cover fits for '75-'78. Left side cover...'75-'76 are compatible...'77-'78 are compatible.

75/76F have a different petcock/fitting than the 77/78F.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

RxmanGriff is right - watch out for the different petcock sizes on the 75/76F and the 77/78F tanks - they are not interchangeable.  (I found out the hard way!)
