Newbie with questions

carl750k
Hello.  I just pulled my 82 750k out of a long storage and am trying to get things together.
I unsuccessfully cleaned the carbs so the bike will not run properly yet.  Any suggestions on cleaning properly please let me know.   I am also looking to upgrade a few parts.  I found some 750 F pipes on Ebay that look pretty good.  Will they fit a K or is the frame too diferent between the 2 models.  I have attached a photo for comments.  This is before I put the bike away about 3 years ago.  Everything still looks pretty good but it needs some polish on the chrome paint. Please let me know what you think and please reply with carb tips and info on the pipes.

Thanks

The F and the K model are one and the same bike. Only difference is the tank and side covers and some minor rejetting of the carbs to suit the four into two exhaust system. You can use the F type silencers on the K model but you will probably have to change the header pipes for the four into two system, as the four into four header pipes wont fit - you will be left with one header pipe with nowhere to go. Suggest you get the proper header pipes and the two silencers to match.
