Frame and cafe seat questions 78 750f

Burro
Hey folks, I'm new to the site, but as I have been reading all the posts I have grown too really appreciate all the info so freely given, Ya'll are awesome. I have but two guestions at this time. Is their any difference in F and K models when it comes to the frame or can I bolt on parts from either with no mods. Second question, have any of ya'll seen those cafe seats on ebay that come reproduced from Vietnam ebay name hondaclassic31 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-CB750-CB750K-CB750F-supersport-cafe-racer-seat-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d2d381eeeQQitemZ400190611182QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories 

and has anyone used one? got any pics of them installed?  Reviews anyone?

Thanks for the advice

Frame for something like that I think is virtually identical. I cant be positive but I will check and it. I am almost certain though. The only thing I ran into issues with were the foot pegs. The F also has a mount for the rear disk but I think it was on the swing arm.
The seat looks nice but I have not knowledge of them. Maybe check their feedback.
Also check here in the online links and you might find something for seats. 75 is a lot for shipping.

I agree, but a total of $260.00 is a kinda cheap to clean up the rear end. I'm also tryin to keep a two up capability.

Another option would be to remove the current seat, pull the cover off and reshape the foam. Get it recovered and you should have a nice looking seat. You can cut your part down and curve it while keeping the back for a passenger. A little more work but much cheaper with no question about fit.

Looks something like a kawasaki 440 based on size.
