Am I missing clutch parts? (pictures included)

[xxxjohnnie]

ordered this

this is the manual

Clutch plate A? (the one on top)

got all these, too.

So, I have the "replacement kit"
But, what about these parts??:
Clutch plate stopper ring
Clutch outer ring
Is the 3rd picture "Clutch plate A" as shown in the manual?
Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
They're not included in any kit I've found, and there hasn't been any mention in any videos or anything.
ugh.

The parts you have a question about are early 750. K0 through somewhere in K3. For a year or two the parts changed over and you could find either early or late style clutch. If your bike bike didn't have them then dont worry. What year is your bike and motor and what brand of shop manual is that because its not accurate of the majority of the 750's.

Damn, I thought I listed it lol.
Sorry, SOHC 1974 cb750 k2 I believe.
I think it's just a standard Honda manual, a buddy gave it to me,
but it goes through '78 I think.
The bike didn't have them.
But, the other guy I got it from burned the clutch up.
I was just wanting to make sure one of these parts wasn't the reason.
He also didn't have that outer one either.
Just the alternating plates.

A 74 would be a K4. You should be able just to use the kit pieces.

That's the same diagram in my Clymer M341 (Honda CB750 SOHC Fours 1969-1978) manual. Page 105.

I tried that before it switches gears, but had no pull. I got that clutch plate A a buddy said I needed that one or it wouldn't work and if it did it would burn up the clutch like before. The last guy didn't have one in it and his burnt up. I'm just trying to be sure before I throw it in and run it.

I too have a clutch I've taken apart in my 73cb750k3, and the "clutch plate stopper ring" and "clutch plate A" as shown in the Clymer manual are not there. The lifter plate casting has one corner broke by the spring, I'm wondering if it broke because of missing parts, but if some clutch configurations don't have those then maybe it's OK. I plan to put it together the way I found it as soon as I find a new lifter plate.

The lifter plates break when they are tightened down unevenly. They are a cheap cast aluminum. Cycle x has billet aluminum lifter plates.

This broken lifter plate must have been put in by the previous owner. I'll look for one from Cycle x. Thanks
