Across all Models (the hondamatic and 77-78F's included?)

screws, nuts, bolts
crank and cam bearings.
valve cover, dyno cover, points cover.

Maybe the rods?

I was going to say cylinder blocks but then I remembered that in 1969-1970 there were different variations of casting, and in 1973 they chain valley and oiling passages were revised.

I was going to say carb rubbers but nope 77-78 are different from 69-76

I was going to say front hub, but the comstars on the 77-78 are not spokes.

I was going to say engine cases but the 77-78s are different and the hondamatic is a beast on its own.

I think this would work better if you asked about a part and we told you where it fit and didn't fit.

ALL MODELS OF SOHC4

The left handlebar switch. wait, is that the one with the headlight turn off/on switch or is it the right? Whichever handlebar switch DOESN'T have the headlight on/off switch - yeah that is the one.

yup that is about it.

wadda mean.....there are other bikes besides a 750? You mean I have to recognize the 350f as a motorcycle and not a really expensive money pit of a moped? fore shame.

oh and I think the headlight is the same for all of them also. Not the bucket or the ring, the actual thing you plug in to make light.

I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, but.......









.....you are siging your self up for a lot of stupid answers just by the nature of the question.

by the way... it still seems obvious to me and you just seem like an ass.  i'm not sure what is sooooo difficult or in-valid about the question. 

perhaps i'm misreading your post...

Do believe the coils are the same across the board.... not sure if that's true for the 650's, but I reckon it probably is.
Brake lever was same, too, far as I could tell. Not much else, though.
No.

Oops, I meant CLUTCH lever, not brake lever.

There were some differences in the master cylinders between the various models, so I assume there were also differences in brake lever.
Like I said, I meant clutch, not brake.
No.

Um, taillight and instrument cluster bulbs....the air in the tires is interchangeable as well, as well as the schraeder valves in the valve stems.

I think they all run a 530 chain as well... :)

Touche`

stupid answers are fine.

just admit you couldn't figure out that the post was in the SOHC4 forum and was to include SOHC4s.

How about I admit that I don't really care about SOHC4 models I don't own and leave it at that? Sound like an ass? you bet, but I betcha you laughed at least a little, a chuckle maybe?

Edit - I was being too serious.... :P

Sorry Geeto, ;) ;)

The left handlebar switches are different........ that one doesn't count.

The automatic coffee brewer attachment under the rear tail lamp stayed the same........ I sent mine out to have it chromed....... you ever get yours chromed? 8) 8)

Problem with the handlebar switch being the same theory....wires are all longer on the 400F

Plus it has the flash to pass/horn.

Some variation amongst the different countries on the 750.

Headlights are smaller on the 350/400 so no dice there.

But the oild filters are all the same.

On the bikes I have the Regulators are all the same 72-75....
