Looks just like my old CB750K1 rather than a CB750.

Quite agree, i am surprised they did not manage to shoe horn the word sandcast in to it to make it  more rare

Looks like a bit of a hybrid. Engine is late K2 at best, also looks like the head gasket is blowing...
Side panels are not K0 aswell as the list above.
Still, I suppose that it all adds to the value (cost) of the CB750 if you have one

This is what it should look like.

Quite a difference from the proper bike, and the wrong engine to top it. That's not restoring a bike that's putting one together and so wrong.

He has a fokin cheek, fully restored indeed.

I had the poster with the bikes in the 70s does anybody have one, and perhaps post it on here for a look.

That bike is so nice, mine is taking shape and starting to look cracking, cant wait to get a run on the road with her next year.
