CB750 K0/K1 Hybrid

No on the title, but thankfully Michigan has a decently easy workaround to get one. It's worked for my CA77 and CT90, so I don't see why it won't work on this one.

Carbs are going to be a long-term thing, I think. You're right that they're available, but go for fairly insane prices. The next big purchases for this bike will probably be a correct (single cut) front fender, and a set of clean exhaust pipes- I lucked into correct HM300s, but the header portions are fairly ratty. Any future major purchases will probably be for my Dream and/or KZ1300, so I can circle back around to carbs later. And from a drivability standpoint, I'm okay with sticking with the two-cable carbs for the time being. But they're definitely on my list.

(Sad thing is that way back when, the bike originally came with the 4-cable carbs, albeit in REALLY rough shape. I traded them for a pristine set of carbs I have now. It made sense when I was aiming for a roughly-K2 model, less so now. I don't regret it. Mostly. )

Remember what I said about my carb situation? Ignore all of it.



They're going to need a full go-though, and one of the brass floats looks a bit iffy (plus I'll need at least one correct main jet), but hey- at long last this bike has the carbs it originally came with.

Been plugging away at this old girl. I got my handlebars swapped over, got all the controls figured out, and managed to get enough done to get the new carbs on the bike!





Now, I can't speak for tuning these monsters, because I hear they can be a pain. That said, from a purely aesthetic standpoint they are SO much nicer. Adjustment points are easier to get to, controls are more straightforward, and the layout just makes a bit more sense. I'm still waiting on a detail or two to actually fire the engine up, but forward progress is still progress.

Keep at it, looking good so far!
