CB750 / CB750K2 - Identifying Parts
« on: March 14, 2022, 12:52:03 PM »
Hi all, I recently purchased a nice, fairly un-restored UK CB750K2 in gold. But it has some features that I either can't reconcile or don't understand. I'm wondering if the gurus out there can help:
1. I've had the carbs done but I have 2 pipes coming form the mid-line of the assembly that I don't understand. See pic. I'd love to know what there're for!
2. My left fork ear has a square hole in it. Its empty - what's it for?
3. The L/H switch gear has an additional momentary press button mounted underneath the assembly. It is not wired to anything. Again, anyone know what it's for?
4. The bike has 'UK-style' lower handlebars (which I like) but the cables are clearly intended for the higher US-style bars. I've sourced shorter throttle cables, but the shorter upper brake hose is eluding me. Any ideas on the precise part number and possible sources?
5. Finally, the PO spray-painted the engine cases and cylinders silver in-situ (small over-spray evident). What was the original state of the barrels & cases? Painted or plain aluminium?
Very grateful for any help with this. Thanks in advance, Simon
