here is a photo of the internal parts for the 75/6 rear MC. That kit does not look like it would fit.

Here is the thread I found the reference to the K&L part # 32-1458 http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=74622.0 2nd entry from Dunstall_74.

Could someone tell me where I could get a rebuild kit for the rear brake master cylinder?

Thanks!!

Thought I'd already mentioned David Silvers Spares. In stock and less than half the going EBay rate of $75 - $80. You'd better jump on it Rich.

Thanks Jerry I will have to take a look, I wonder if he stocks them with his USA distributor

Don R · « **Reply #1104 on:** August 25, 2013, 08:13:35 PM »

Even if it comes from England it ships quickly. If you call the number on the usa site, it rings on the other side of the pond. Check the time difference.

Does anyone have a pic of their F with 3 point case saver crash bars on it?

Ask, and ye shall receive!

Thank you, I got a NOS set and haven't put them on. Now I have another project to do.

The pictures really don't do them justice, they were the only pictures I had on hand at the moment. I like the way they look, not too large or overpowering, and functional too! I'm trying to decide on the right "clamp-on" footrests/footpads to serve as highway pegs. I've got some highway pegs on my K8 and it sure is nice to stretch the legs on a long ride without having to stand up, or even stop and walk around.

Here is a potentially stupid question for all my fellow F lovers...

I removed my tank from the '75 F that I own to find out that it was actually from '77/'78 as it had a smaller petcock thread and a horizontal spigot feeding the carbs. I have since put on a real '76 tank while I respray the (what I thought was) original tank.

Would the smaller petcock opening restrict fuel flow to my stock '75 carbs? I'm curious as to the change in size but am assuming it had to do with the evolution to PD carbs.

The 1976F model had the same jetting as the K model.
Same needle position too.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #1112 on:** September 16, 2013, 10:10:26 AM »

Should be no problem considering the 77/78 F had more horsepower than the 75/76 F which would generally require more fuel to make that extra horsepower.

I've been running an F2/3 tank on my F0 for years. No problem.

cabrala · « **Reply #1114 on:** September 16, 2013, 11:16:07 AM »

Thanks guys. I have been running that F2/3 tank and haven't had an issue at all, but it needs some attention so it came off and in its place went the F1 tank temporarily. When I noticed the size difference at the petcock i wondered about a volume comparison of fuel flow.

Here's my '75 F. Ended up looking like a K/F hybrid.

Everything is F besides the K seat and fender. Motogpwerks exhaust, bullet turn signals, NH M bars, everything else stock

I figured I will ask here my questions about valves for 1978 CB750F engine. Now, when I got my guides installed:

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=127377.msg1451991#msg1451991

I am researching my valve options.

I understand that the original 78F valves have different retainers than the rest of 750 SOHC; are the aftermarket 78F valves made for the original retainers or for the K style retainers?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #1117 on:** October 07, 2013, 11:00:10 AM »

Be careful when you ask that because the 78 750K ALSO used the 77/78 F retainers.

70CB750 · « **Reply #1118 on:** October 07, 2013, 11:01:44 AM »

I see, thank you. So what retainers are the aftermarket F valves made for?

I think I will send email to Ken and ask him, since I will likely purchase from CycleX.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #1119 on:** October 07, 2013, 11:07:30 AM »

I think Ken and Big Jay would be your best sources for info on their products. Throw the question by Mr Head, MRieck too. I have 34mm intakes too but it's the Kibblewhite 5mm stem conversion kit on the earlier head.

70CB750 · « **Reply #1120 on:** October 07, 2013, 11:10:29 AM »

I see

, thank you.

Would like to have her on the road in the spring, well it was supposed to be the spring 2013

Did the motoGPwerks exhaust come with a really long muffler? Because my mystery header looks a lot like yours when the muffler is removed.

Don R · « **Reply #1122 on:** October 07, 2013, 07:27:53 PM »

Thanks for the pictures of the F's I owe you guys one now. I have the case savers on my F and I like them. I decided to leave the clamp on footpegs off until I take a long trip, then maybe they will go back on.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #1123 on:** October 07, 2013, 09:50:43 PM »

You don't park that F#$K next to your REAL F do you?

Don R · « **Reply #1124 on:** October 08, 2013, 08:43:35 AM »

F'n K? Ours stays in the shed with the other K's L0L. but it's a k in disguise not an F in disguise.
