Difference between 750L and 750K

Howdy!

I recently acquired a pretty beat up bike, which by running the VIN number was found to be a 1979 CB 750L. Just looking at this bike I know the air box is missing, and I'm sure there are going to be multiple other parts I find that I need as I start tearing it down. So my main question is what is the difference between a 750K and 750L? Could I buy the air cleaner that is labeled for the 750K and use it? From what it sounds like, those two were more similar than the 750F is, but I may have been told wrong. This is the first bike I've ever torn down to rebuild, so I'll also take any advice I can get.

Thanks!

Well, you're in the SOHC section and the last of those was in '78.

You need DOHC section and '79-'83 models and all of the airboxes fit barring slight trim differences in some of them.

K and L are the same other than special badges and the mags on the L. L is just a K 'limited' version.
