Honda-SOHC

Thanks guys its great that u get different opinions.so i have had a think and one thing i do know is whatever happened it was in usa the frame and stampin etc was defo consistent with the condition of bike,so to me its part of the bikes history good or bad.james is right i could source a k0 frame fork bottoms etc but i would still sell it as a non original k0 like most others are thinkin about it the history of it is more interesting.i have to be happy in myself what i am selling and i know now thanks to u guys.i have a z1 and a z1a my first love(sorry guys) i know quite a lot about them. I have restored them both so they are NOT original even though the parts req for the z1 and z1a are mostly used original parts or nos new they were Not off the bike and if i were to sell the buyer will know everything i know.the z1a uk barn find for e.g. all the correct EUROPEAN spec parts even the steering lock correct i will not sell it as a uk Bike no provenence but i bought it knowing that.the cb is still a lovely bike and yes i will take a hit on it with the money but i am happy that i kind of saved it and it can be used.

thanks for that.the plot thickens looking at pic i took of stampings it looks like they are not original factory.so need help guys what i do know it has never been restored cos it was a faded rusty tatty mess when i bought it.it was imported from usa probably sunny state cos it wasnt rotten rusty.i certainly would have checked the numbers to the v5.although the guy i bought it off seemed a really nice bloke he either didnt know or didnt tell me they were not original.so is it possible the frame was changed under warranty from a dealer which was a k1 frame cos its a late k0 and they stamped it or there was some stealing going on i put it like that cos the engine,carbs, airbox,clocks,seat,side panels etc are k0 as is the engine numbers seems a strange way round.james said they are k1 forks and hub could they have gone on a late k0 i dunno.obviously i'm a bit pi**ed off, i don't really know what it is.certainly don't want to sell it someone telling them one thing and its another.and what do you think value wise cos obviously theres a lot of money in it as your all aware. appreciate your help.

cheers i would rather it went to a good home.i have a few bikes and as we all know with classics its nice to bring them out for the new season give it a wash then a shakedown 30 odd mile then if its nice a fettle,cup of tea and a biscuit.well me and other half like everyone had brought our 4 kids up (triplet lads yep tell me about it) and set about our bucket list got as far as scicilly ,then the bombshell with the grandaughter and to be fair to the wife i have got a lot more involved than when i was younger.so with all my bikes they get a shakedown then back in the garage albeit heated which is from the fustration from my face ha,so the bike has only done 260 odd miles since i restored it at the end of 2014. 

hi james thanks for the info but wasn't the k0 or cb750 the transition bike that had various parts from the late 69 to before k1 came out and i will have a look at the frame tonight.cheers

hi all having a clear out and thought i would post it here before goin on ebay.this is the seat that came of my 1970 cb750 k0  or just cb750 frame no 1037*** years ago.i'm saying this because there is a bone of contention on what came with the in between cb750 from sandcast to k1.anyway i think its original the foam is pink in the centre underneath and all pink on top but no ducktail unless the foam has flattened ha.original pan had it powder coated years ago with rest of parts,rubbers (one missing as you can see),original hinges,trim.i cant remember if the catch is original might have put it another ductail seat i sourced and used.i say this cos i bought quite a few spares for my bike and it looks like it has been fettled with a bit at the end.it has original strap which looks like i re chromed with the rest of bike.original strap screws (tatty)its got original aluminium rivety things for trim all there but only got 3 original starlock washers and one z1 original rectangle side panel badge washer(worth £500 on its own ha) just to hold it on so need another 7.the cover is repro that i bought for the other seat didnt like so i got one from yamiya.as you can see the logo on it is about 7mm out on the twonk to the top bead so i have just fitted to this seat.3 of the hinge screws are original the rest i got out of my little box of spares.sos for waffling but wanted to try and explain what you are buying someone might be able to confirm or not whether they did fit these to the k0 i don't know.pretty rare in this nick £150 plus post.p.s. Just realised dont think the spring belongs to the seat got it from my spares box must of got it with other spares i bought years ago.
