My name is Mark and I just acquired a 1978 Honda CB750K.

The bike was free and missing the title. I am in the process of getting a new title through the DMV.

The bike has been modified to have a rear disc brake but all it has is the disc and caliper with no linkage or master cylinder. It also looks like it has a CB750F seat and rear fender. It also has a 4 into 1 Pipe.

Welcome. Hard to beat 'free.'

By the time I pay for replacement parts to be able to ride it I could have bought a driver. The engine runs but that is all.

Gas tank has been repaired but flaking inside.
Rear brakes were converted to a caliper disc but missing all linkage and master cylinder.
front brakes seized.
bad starter.
other misc junk wrong.

I have to get a title by having a Police officer verify the VIN, send in pictures, get a bill of sale all because the original owner lost the title and sold it but never gave the buyer a title. This bike has been sold over and over and driven illegally for years with no registration.

I have a Police officer for a friend and he ran the VIN and nothing showed up. This is a good thing cause it will make it almost 100% where I can get a title for it. In the meantime I will not put $0.01 into it.

Welcome, Mark. It looks like there are more F parts on the bike than the seat, fender and exhaust. How about some more pics of the exhaust and front forks?

Cant register at the gallery, cant upload here for some reason so I posted them off site but I can not post links either. Oh and typing a verification every post is getting annoying quick!

Edit.... got external photos to work.

See if this works...

You have to have 5 posts before you can post external links. The F experts can tell you what you have better than I can, but I don't think those are K forks.

So it is like a hodge podge of different models then. Cool I guess then I wont feel totally obligated to make it 100% stock then.

I know for sure it is a k because the VIN starts out as CB750K.

Different models and different years, I would suppose. Definitely F model forks, front brakes, and wheels. Those carbs appear to be from a '76 or earlier bike as well.

Welcome - I was given a free bike too:) 

Nothing is free in CB word, good luck with your project.

Thanks all!

I didnt know this bike was pieced together so much. I was told the tires were changed but that was all.
