Ash I'd be interested in a copy of the book as well - seriously, I'm the son of an electrician and I still find electrical theory a bit of a dark art...

If it has anything to do with TV, don't watch TV mate.

Nice read once again Ash, would love to read the 'Japanese electrics' book when completed.

Hi Bitsa, late answer, the bike had a Maroon tank/panels, I was guessing it was a K4 but was not really sure.

Hi Bitsa, late answer, the bike had a Maroon tank/panels, I was guessing it was a K4 but was not really sure.

Think yours was definitely K4 alan. You can tell a K4 by its top yoke 'clamps' (like the 750's) Seat pattern is distinctive too and was side tilting and lockable. Think the CB350K was only ever officially sold in the UK in K4 form. Then there was a later version in the States (not  UK)  with a front disc brake (sold in Europe too) and then went out to 360 as the 350 was really only a 325cc. My Cb350K1 with the 'fat' cam is supposed to develop 36BHP. Not bad for a 325cc four stroke in the  late sixties. Problem is the classic  racing fraternity gobble up the engines and parts, particularly the original K0/K1 'fat' cam. Plus the Americans have gone crazy on cafe racers based on them. It will be interesting to photo my '69 CB250SS (incorrectly called a K0) and US spec CB350K1 when completed. Basically the same bike but the mudguards (fenders) are so fugly on the UK model, especially the rear one. For my 250  K0 I have an original rear guard (German ... needs horrible rear reflector hole filling and then rechroming  ...expensive) But I also have a beautiful late 'rolled' edge short style American one I got at Stafford from an autojumble stand. Knocked him down from some silly price to 35GBP which was a real steal. Rear guard on theUSA model  DK K1 is pretty much perfect and I have a NOS front USA style one, which  Mr. Silver sold me before his prices went silly. You can usually tell a SS(K0)/K1/early K2 motor by 'TYPE 1' stamped into the points cover. Think 'Type1' means 180 degree crank but may be BS (CB72/CB77's had an alloy cover with Type one imprinted)

Both my twin bikes have many of  the large 'No.8' bolts on them like the 750K0/sandcast. Sorry guys getting anoraky again and said I was going to stop. No banter though :D
