I appreciate your thoroughness and willingness to help out. I want to be certain, because as you said, if two locking nuts are required, it would be silly and most likely very dangerous to not have them. It appears I do not have extra space for a second nut. I am half tempted to order a 1980...

Yeah parts are interchangeable on lots of things. Maybe someone with a 1979 CB750F would be able to clarify if there is a two locking but system UNDER the top fork bridge.

The stems are different. Also, If 12 and 13 are unavailable, why are they listed for the ‘80?

Yeah, they use the same diagram. But most importantly the part numbers are clearly different for the stem. Nor do they even list the #12, 13 parts for the ‘79. Therefore, the ‘80 is different. Also it would not be any more dangerous than the ‘78 and earlier models because they also did not use...

It appears the ‘79 750F steering stem is unique compared to the models following it because it does not require additional locking nut after the preload nut and before the top fork bridge. At least my bike didn’t have one, I can’t find any pictures online with any, nor is an additional lock nut...

Does anyone know if any other model calipers will work with existing mounting holes on front forks? or existing caliper brackets? like perhaps the 900C from the 1982?

Thanks for the response. I see used cases on eBay for fairly cheap. are all K, C, and F model cases identical ? I guess this is why the engine failed.

does the find hold the timing chain guide? or is it a cooling/casting fin ?

As per honda manual there are markings but can anybody read this? Also these markings only appear on the outer flywheels. All my case letters are B's, all my connecting rod numbers are 2's, and my guess is a 1 A on the crank, B + A = Green. is it possible they are all green ? There was only...
