will this chain be correct for my 750f?

Im wondering if this chain will work for by cb750f on stock front and rear sprockets.  im under the impression o-ring chains and other things affect the older bikes. it doesnt say if it is or not an o-ring chain. also, ebay seller says its for my bike but they all say "it works".  im not opposed to the DID chains, but i like the gold :P

I actually don't think that will work.  I am almost certian all F bikes ran 630 chain from the factory, the up until 77 I think the K bikes used the 530 chain.  However some people did conversions on F bikes and went to 530 chain.  I think it would be best to measure your current chain before you buy.  I'm certian if you google chain size you will get dimensions for both chains and you can compare them and find out what you have before you buy.

750F models were sold from 1975 to 1978.  The 77 and 78 models had 630 chains.
