My plans are to enjoy riding, be a lot different to my ST1100 Pan. Probably sell and start another project, really enjoying this one.
I've used stainless allen bolts on my Pan, yes, with copperslip, dissimilar metals and all that, they are so much easier and I like the look. I've kept all the old crossheads and they'll go with the bike.

Thanks guys, I've downloaded the parts list and manual, I'll order a new sprocket, locking plate and bolts. The sprocket on the bike definitely doesn't have any threaded bolt holes and no sign of sheard bolts, have to assume it's some sort of US "get me home" job. Onwards and upwards.

I was wondering about that, 12/48 ratio would mean getting off the line would need lots of slipping the clutch and a top speed of 200mph. :o

Hi all,
I'm gradually rebuilding my K2 and am confused by sprocket size and fitment.
The drive sprocket has 17 teeth and the rear sprocket 48. The drive sprocket isn't set on the shaft and is able to slide freely and only stopped by a "C" spring clip located in a groove near the outer end of the shaft. The end of the shaft is fitted with an adjustable oiler.
Having read the description in the Haynes manual, it states.
Early models had a 16 tooth drive with 45 tooth rear, this set up damaged the chain so should be replaced with a 12 tooth drive with 48 tooth rear. The picture also shows the drive sprocket having a plate and two bolts, presumably to lock the sprocket in place.
Am I correct in assuming that a new 12 tooth sprocket with plate and bolts will fit the output shaft and that the 12/48 ratio is correct?
Regards,
Wills.

Hi all,
Been away for a few days so haven't checked the forum. Thanks for all the kind messages.
Trigger, it's a US import barn find, plated as 05/72 which I believe is an early K2. shows 15000 miles which seems genuine going by the condition. I'm going to follow up Green1's suggestion and have a look at photobucket so that I can resize any photos more easily.
Now going to post a question separately.
Regards,
Wills.

Hi RGP750, just outside of Hawkinge.
Hello Mike the Bike, I'll post some pics but need to reduce the file size.

Hi, I'm Wills, recently retired and enjoying lots of time in my garage where I'm part way through the restoration of my CB750K2. I'll no doubt have lots of questions.
