Quote:"Are there any British specific KO parts? At first spot, I see a black tail light bracket and the front fender".

Rarest part is the the rear Fender Mudguard ..took me 7 years of hunting to find a NOS one (bidding war on eBay for it  :( ) .. Oval rear lamp used on other Honda's is the UK etc & Japan,  early CB250K, CD175, C50 step-through etc. Front fender same as USA.

Quote "Can you still use those front number plates? That looks really groovy!"

Yes if it's before a certain date.. I think 1973 but unsure on exact details but someone is bound to know.

It's this but the UK version with 4-hole rear lamp was discontinued years ago. Rocking Horse Poo .. please don't ask me what that is  ;D

Thanks, that explains the parts on your bike.

Does anybody know up to which VIN the recessed ignition switch was used on CB750 KO ?

Same with wrinkle tank. Here I doubt, if there is a cutoff VIN.
My 18.xxx KO has a wrinkle tank but the 16.xxx KO has not. Both are genuine, pretty sure about that.

Hi and welcome buddy. On the note of the rear fender I'll be getting shot of mine as soon as I start the rebuild its from my 78 F2 but it looks the same.

Can you still use those front number plates? That looks really groovy!
IIRC are there some sign painters offering, don't think the German TUV would be very keen about pedestrian-slicers installed though...  ;)


That UK press bike is now for sale at Bonhams.

Just found that in the current classic motorcycle mechanics.
