Just attempted to replace the bleeders on my 75 750F (75/76 are the same). I talked with the nice folks at Speed Bleeder Products and he had me measure the nuts on each for fitment. This ONLY PARTIALLY WORKS !! 8mm on each. He therefore sent me SB8125LSS (SS = Stainless Steel). The rear works fine however the "L" is slightly longer than the original. The SB8125 (no "L") is the best match. When I got to the front I discovered the 8125 is INCORRECT. The threads on the original seem finer and have a smaller diameter. As soon as I hear back I'll post my front results. I'm assuming (look what that got me the first time) that my front caliper is the same as all the K's.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

The front disc brake bleeder valve on your '75 750F and my '75 550K share the same part number:

VALVE, BLEEDER
45224-579-013

As previously posted:

My spare bleeder threads quite nicely onto an M7-1.0 metric nut, and the whole thing measures 1.25 inches long.  So my guess is model SB7100 (M7x1.0 & 1.38" long).

I haven't had a chance to contact them regarding this, but I'm pretty sure about it as I checked by threading into a known nut size.

It was all sounding pretty good until the problems with fitment cropped up. I think I'm glad I bought a vacuum kit instead. It was more expensive, but it works on every hydraulic brake I've got. ;D

Bringing an old thread back to life. Does anyone know what size speed bleeder I would need for my 73 CB750?

Should be a 10x1.25, but best to measure your own as the application charts I've run across don't go back that far.  PS: that's what i just bought for my K2 and they work fine. Same part number for K2 and K3 inthe OEM bleeder.
