750 K:  Here is a shot on the sidestand.  Because of the added height, I chose to go with an extended sidestand to stand it up straighter.  Bikes that lean too much bug me.  Take care.
Stickman
Stickman, did you lengthen a stock sidestand or did you buy one that was longer than stock?  I need to do the same thing because my bike leans way too much and makes me very uncomfortable when parking on gravel.  I think my shocks are set to a pretty tall setting, ive never messed with them because I am 6'3" and it fits me perfectly, but it is how it was set up when I bought it.  Would like a longer stand like yours.

Thanks

Thanks for the kind comments. The bike looks nicer in pics but is a survivor. I am the second owner. The first owner purchased the bike in Nov 69 and carefully cared for the bike for 30 years.

HonderCB:  The extended sidestand was a take off just lying around.  It came off a 74 750 with a 6 over front end which I put back stock.  It is a stock stand that has been cut and lengthened.  I have done it myself before.  Just happened to be just right on my bike.
If you have interest in me measuring and estimating how much length was added, just let me know.  Thanks,   Stickman

The tank is from a 75 or later due to the petcock on the left side.

Not trying to ruffle feathers but the petcock on my 73 750K is also on the left side..

You must have a newer tank then, cause 75 was the first year for left side mount.

Bwaller:  Very nice 73.  Guess I am just a sucker for the 750 in red.  And I like the fact you left the tank without stripes.  There is just something about the early K tank that catches my eye in a solid color.  The bike shows more like a 15,000 mile bike.  Obvious pride of ownership here.  Good job.  Stickman
