I Just Bought Mossy21's '78 CB750K
« on: January 25, 2009, 02:35:17 PM »
I just bought a fine example of the '78 CB750K, off one of your forum members.

Here's a shot I snapped of the bike today...

Welcome!

Nice looking ride.

I sold Mossy a grab bar for that bike a couple of years ago. It looks like the one in your picture is hacked up.
I bought it off of ebay before I realized that certain parts were different for 77-78 and earlier models.

Yep...

The grab rail has been tastefully chopped to better show the painted rear fender.

That's the old damaged rail that came with my news project, another K8 I'm just finishing up.  Mrbreeze your rail is all polished and ready for the road. :)
Let it be known I didn't hack a clean rail.  Oooo the humanity....

A little late to the party but welcome! Nice BRG... fenders are a nice touch.

Sorry, Brit 'colour' so that would be mud guard.
