K0 CORRECT DATE OF MANUFACTURE

[StevieWonder]

Can anyone please help me identify when my bike was manufactured. Unfortunately the VIN plate on the steering head has been removed - maybe for respray, It's a K0 with frame number 10369**. I think it would be around May 1970. Perhaps there is a listing of frame numbers and dates out there or I'd be very grateful, if someone with a similar frame number and intact VIN would advise.

1036774 is an 05/70 bike.
1037279 is an 05/70 bike.

I’d say yours is def an 05/70 bike

James, do USA bikes have a VIN plate and have the VIN stamped into the headstock?

  hi im not sure that you can get the exact date without the vin plate not even HONDA can supply you with that sort of  info as they was making 1500 cb750s a month ? perhaps the previous owner might still have some paperwork with the date
 do you have a log book if not you could try and get a dating certificate off the VJMC there is a charge but the DVLA normally accepts their findings but if the bike is already registered then you can use the date off the logbook

James, do USA bikes have a VIN plate and have the VIN stamped into the headstock?

Julie - yes, stamped VIN on LHS of headstock (same as Uk units) but have the riveted VIN tag on RHS of headstock...

Ah yes, I remember now. It is handy that the USA bikes have the manufacture date on the VIN.

Excellent! Thanks to all but especially James, my bike sits between the two frame numbers quoted for 05/70 machines.

@ james you are the the kiddy at sorting the U.S. stuff  as you have shown the vin tabs are the only real proof
 that could have been such a mine field when you involve the DVLA they want all the correct paperwork
i know that from past experience as we are local to swansea it pays us to go to there in person
