CB 750F Versus CB 750K Quandry
My question is simple and please help. What is the difference? I cannot seem to find any big difference but of course body shit. I might be looking in the wrong place, but if there is not a huge difference this will open a whole lot more options for me.
When I went to Wiki this is what I found. BTW Thank you Tombarace14 for your help.

[edit] History
Honda of Japan introduced the CB750 motorcycle to the US and European markets in 1969 after experiencing success with their smaller motorcycles. The bike was targeted directly at the US market after Honda officials (including Soichiro Honda), repeatedly met with US dealers and understood the opportunity for a larger bike.[1].
Under development for one year[2], the CB750, upon introduction, offered two unprecedented features, a front disc brake and an straight-4 engine with an overhead camshaft-- neither of which were previously available on mainstream, affordable, production bikes. These two features, along with the bike's introductory price of $1495.00 (US), gave the CB750 considerable advantage over its competition, particularly its British rivals.
Cycle Magazine called the CB750 "the most sophisticated production bike ever" upon its introduction[3]. Cycle World called the motorcycle a masterpiece, highlighting Honda's painstaking durability testing, the bike's 120mph top speed, the fade-free performance of the braking, the comfortable ride, and excellent instrumentation [4].
As the first modern four cylinder machine from a mainstream manufacturer [5], the term Superbike was coined to describe the CB750[6]. The bike offered other important features, both great and small that added to its compelling value: electric starter, kill switch, dual mirrors, flashing turn signals, screw on oil filter, easily maintained valves and overall smoothness and freedom from vibration both underway and at a standstill. Later models (91 on) included maintenance free hydraulic valves. On the other hand, the bike was difficult to get on its center stand and tended to throw chain oil on its muffler.
Unable to accurately gauge demand for the new bike, Honda limited its initial investment in the production dies for the CB750 by originally using a technique called permanent mold casting (often erroneously referred to as sandcasting) rather than diecasting for the engines[7] -- unsure of the bike's reception. The bike remained in the Honda lineup for ten years, sales totaling over 400,000 copies in its life span[8]
The CB750 is sometimes referred to as a Universal Japanese Motorcycle or UJM, although certainly the bike has earned notoriety of its own.
The Discovery Channel ranked the Honda CB750 among the top ten greatest motorbikes of all time, giving the CB750 third place[9].

Re: CB 750F Versus CB 750K Quandry
Yes I am excited and have majorly regreted selling my 350F...but had to have money for my new place and I was also able to pick up a 78 CB 750K....It looks like it will have some Yami and Kawi parts on it...so mine will be a mutant lol I am so excited. This bitch will be done by me for me...with a little guidance from people who know what the fuck there doing lol 
The only thing I do not like about the bike I picked up is where the oil tank is. I wanted to leave the side panels off but tis ok It will still look sweet.

Re: CB 750F Versus CB 750K Quandry
The Cb750F had a slightly better engine with bigger valves and some other little differences.
a 1978K was rated lower in horsepower then the early years, while at the same time having some of the better parts that were in the F motors. I think the carbs are better with the accel pumps, but they were jetted lean. So up the main about 10 and see how it feels. i thought the 1977 and up were ugly, but thats easy enough to fix! something about the 69-76 look way better imo.
They F supersport also had disc rear brake. regardless, all of these sohc hondas are great.
