Part Compatibility between '77 CB750k and a '79 CB750k

[Justin37]

Hello
I know next to nothing so I came here for help
I purchased a partly-finished buggy which uses a '79 CB750K engine.
I'm looking for more of the parts to use with it and I've found an engine-less '77 CB750K for dirt cheap... will anything be compatible?
I'm needing the
-"Dashboard" electrical (the meter's, Key-switch, info-lights etc.) (thought it might be fun)
-Solenoid
-Rectifier and regulator
-Rear brakes
-maybe other stuff


Thanks for your help

Basically nothing is compatable.  Some brake stuff maybe.  79 starts the DOHC era.  79-82 750 C/F/K are all interchageable mechanically.

Thanks for the information Woodsrider250.

I'll start looking for newer models

if you already have an engine (79-82) check out a cycle salvage yard for a frame
work from there........you can BUILD a bike easy enough  that is how you learn
it will give you a sense of accomplishment and more pride than if you bought a turn key
besides you can build it the way you want why have a bike that looks like everybody elses
if money and time are an issue buy a turn-key
