Frame Question

cmchenry2
I have recenly aquired a 1980 CB750K.  It has some frame issues related to the previous owner.  I am wondering what options I have for a replacement, i.e. is this compatible with a 1980 CB750 C or F frame?  Any help would be great.

Yes you can put your engine into any of the 79-83 frames. Or you could go to Cycle-one and get a really cool frame.

Yep, what tools said, but you also might want to confirm title limitations for wherever you are.

My question is more related to the differences between the frames of the different models. Will the other parts work?

I'm pretty sure all DOHC frames are the same.  cb900 frames are different as they have different engine mount points, but you could even make one to work if you wanted to.
