Do you think this kit will also be the same kit I would use for a cb750K, seeing as how this kit is listed for a cb750F? Thanks man!

With the DOHC engines, there is NO difference in the engines between models.

lol. I actually logged on to answer that question, but totally got distracted. Thank you, Tools, for being the responsible one.

Shiny, you in? 2 835 vs a 985....

It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

Be careful. If you challenge me hard enough I might just find the motivation to build the 1472 I've been secretly collecting parts for...

I don't know if you'll see this but I had a question about the cb900 connecting rods. I've been looking through the page set up by Satanic Mechanic and he mentioned the rods from a cb900 are a tad longer than the cb750 in dohc. How does this affect using them in a cb750 engine. Do I need to modify the cb900 rods? Thanks!

Shiny, I am getting ready to start work on my bike and was wondering, with what I have read and trying to piece together, it seems like I could just use the stock gearing set up with the cbr600f4 rear wheel I plan on fitting to my 1980 cb750k? I am going to figure out offsetting the front sprocket as the angle would be wrong, but currently I have a 48 tooth rear sprocket and a 17 tooth front sprocket (so not stock set up). Just so I understand correctly, changing the width of the rear tire doesn't mean I need to change the gearing set up do I? Thanks man!

Oh Shiny never mind, I found this from one of your earlier posts, "Mine has 900 rods on the 750 crank. They are a tad longer and require a cylinder spacer to work, but are supposedly stronger and swap in. ". Thanks!
