Several manufacturers used to provide special racing gearboxes for the CB 750 SOHC/4. Among them were Krüger, Quaife and Yoshimura. All those has closer ratios than the stock gearboxes.

Undercutting the engagement dogs keeps them from jumping out of gear under hard acceleration. They are cut to a light angle which locks them together under load.

Early K models had a final drive shaft with a smaller single row ball bearing than the later (up to '77/K6) models. The later shaft, along with the wider double row ball bearing also fits the earlier cases:
