CB750 C, F & K

[Ross Warren]

Hello everyone, I recently purchased my first bike, a 1981 CB750 C. Never having owned a bike before I figured, hey, I am 56 and not getting any younger. So, did my research, sold my 1976 Reinell 20' restored boat and came across this classic Honda, purchased from a motorcycle fanatic last weekend. I actually was initially interested in a 750Cafe he had, but he talked me out of it, wisely i think, at least for now. Once he showed me this 750C, I was sold.

But, I have one question for the group ( I know I will have many as time goes on too) The service manual that came with the bike seems to have been written around the K, although the addendums refer to the F & C as well. For the life of me, i can't firgure out what the differences are between all 3 different models. Can someone here please educate me? i'd really appreciate it, as this may help me when identifying parts I may need to purchase in the future.

By the way, i think this is a great site and look forward to gaining a lot of knowledge from you all. Reading through your forum I have already decided to do some restoration on the bike, but not until the winter...got to get out and ride this summer!

Thanks in advance!

The only differance is the  body.  the running gear is all the same

[dylansdad022102]

the c i believe has a smaller rear wheel then the other 2. gas tank is completly different, minimal plastics. the f and k series are very simillar. with the 2 sharing the same style tank "but they are different" and plastics very as well . rear tails on all 3 are different. but the motors are all the same. rear suspentions are different i believe aswell.


hope this helps

Interestingly enough I have been searching for answers too . . . remembered seeing it somewhere before and hit the search box -- came up with [among others] what's the difference?

Exhausts differ as well. -- K and C exhausts will interchange , but the F pipe will NOT fit the others due to kickstand mounting and pivot point , and of course the other pipes will not fit the F for the same reason .
