will it fit?
« on: April 06, 2006, 08:58:59 PM »
I have a 73 750k3.  Does anyone know if a 74 front wheel or a 75 seat will fit?

'73 750K3:
Seat part no. 77200-341-701 (replaces 77200-341-700)
Front wheel axle part no. 44301-425-870

'74 750K4
Front wheel axle part no. 44301-425-870

'75 750K5
Seat part no. 77200-341-701

Everything sure looks the same, but I suggest a closer comparison (I just zeroed in on the axle for a start).

Yes on the seat, and I believe yes on the front wheel as well as long as you are using the entire wheel/hub/rotor assy. I thought i read somewhere that slight changes were made to the hub and length of the rotor retaining bolts at some point, but overall the assys. should interchange. These are all K-series parts, correct? Not sure if F series parts would interchange.

june 1971; K1 (engine number cb750e 1044813 onwards and frame number cb750 1053399 onwards) Front wheel hub reduced in width by 4mm from previous models.( cb750 and k0)
This is prbably what you are thinking of, so it should not affect you, UNLESs, of course, someone has fitted an earlier wheel !! these things can ( and do) happen so its best to check.
Regards. :)

It wasn't a Previous Owner who didnt know what he was doing that messed up your bike, it was The Previous owners mate who THOUGHT that HE did.
