1981 CB750 motor on a 1979?

jfcarbonneau
I need to replace the motor on a 79 CB750L and I found a 1981 CB750.  I believe that the motor will fit?  Somebody can confirm?

Thanks in advance,

JF

never heard of a cb750L?  to my knowledge there was only the F,K,C series made. the f and k models i know are a match. the c it a match but many if not all came with a 10 speed tranny. a 5 speed with high and low range.  so double check which bike you got

Thank you Joe,

You are absolutely right  This is a 750K and some people called it L beause it is the Limited edition.

Thanks

I have and K bike that I just finished putting together.  It has an 80 frame with a 79 engine.  Everything fit together just fine.  I think engines and frames for the 79 – 82 K bikes are compatible.

Yes...Only difference on the two "may" be slightly better internals (better metal) on the F motor.
