1980 CB750K Help
« on: August 31, 2009, 05:16:48 PM »
Hi, Folks. I wanted first to thank everyone on this forum for all the help the forum's been in getting my 1977 CB750F Supersport up-and-running! Couldn't have done without you all. Now, I also have a 1980 CB750K DOHC that I'm getting back on the road after much abuse by PO. I realize of course this is a SOHC forum, but I desperately need the service manual and was wondering if any of you can direct me (I can't afford to buy one) to a resource or even a forum for that bike? I have searched in vain :'(

I would certainly appreciate any and all help!!!

I'll check my pdf collection and see what I have. No promises though.

You'd think that with 10,000 different manuals I'd have a bunch of stuff..... oh well.  :D

There is a group on Yahoo Groups called
cb-750@yahoogroups.com

The might be able to help you as they focus more on the later models.  It is not a forum format, but rather an email group/listserver operation.

I think this might be a link to that group:

The most awesome site on the net for dohc honda stuff, though they don't specifically deal with K or C models as stated in their mandate, is:
http://www.cb1100f.net/
There are PDFs of the 750, 900, and 1100 supersport models there, (which have content about c, k, and even sc nighthawk models)and they have links to a group that specifically deals with the C models and to some extent the K models as well, let me dig for it...
http://cb750c.com/index.php
If the CBF supersporter site can't help you, then the custom people probably can. I'd say if you're a member here and you have a dohc honda then you should be on one or both of these other sites as well. Good hunting. And nice choice of bikes I might add.
