i wasn't sure where excatly to put this. but i was wondering. would parts from a 1981 cb 750 C work on a 1982 cb 750 SC night hawk. i have a gentlemen that has parts that i need, but idk if they'll fit and he doesnt excatly live close.

Which parts you talking about? The upper frame bars differ from the rear tank mount to the back. So side panels, seat are a no go, but the rest - sure. Well the footpeg mount area is different also, but that's just the peg area. The pipe mounts wind up in the same location. The SC has the aluminum pieces to make it look different, but all roads lead to Rome in the end. But most of the parts are interchangeable.

I have both a 1981 K and a 1982 SC.

If you can wrestle the left hand side case for the SC, I'd love to make an offer on it.

Here's where the frame is different



And in the footpeg area



But you can see that all the SC mount area does is use the aluminum. The pipe hanger/rear peg wind up in the same spot.
The width difference of the aluminum hanger is accommodated by the outward curve of the frame mount of the C/K versions.
