Hi Pasty, your best bet is to go to a local bike shop and ask them for a split link, there are different sized chains for different CB750 models/years but the bog standard chain would be 530 with 102 links.

Carefull as different manufacturers have different pin dimensions with the same roller diameter, spacing and width so its best to get the same make as the chain

All the above + take your chain with you, in case someones put a heavier gauge one on say...
It may save you having to go back.

Usually available is the riveted type of link, I do these by making a small metal guage that fits between the side plates to be able to squeeze it into place to the correct spacing before peening the soft pins over with the ball end of a hammer with the back of the link resting against a metal block. You should be able to pull the guage out after peening and the link won't run tight afterwards.

Kacey, did you get caught by the royal police with that other post????????? oops. careless talk costs liv............ahhhhh. pip-pip old chap.

What ho k2-k6 ! jolly good show an all that.
Had a bit of a run in with the kitchen maids today, new girl, needed a telling orf and putting straight.
Silly lass thought yours truly would be shelling out for some sort of soothing cream for the damn thrashing dished out to her for having an untidy uniform.
All the Royal police should be practising for the Pre-divorce thingy that happens in the Abbey first.
Apparently Mr. Al Fayad is definately NOT invited after all, I think because he has refused to stock Kate Middle of the road Dolls in his shop. (Harrods is compulsory for all wedding gifts or you get beheaded)
In his defence he stated that "The manufactures are giving away a replica engagement ring that they claim is worth $55." "I know this not to be true" said Mr Al fayad. And went on to explain how he took the ring with the alledged value of $55 put it in an envelope and added
