April 1976 was when I traded in my much loved CB750K1 and bought my CB750F1.

Watch out for non standard heads on the bolts as well, when I rebuilt my 750F1 I bought most of my bolts from Custom Fasteners, however they do not seem to have the same range of products now.
I copied this from their website.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING METRIC BOLTS.
Metric bolts in M4, M5, M6, M7 and M8 diameters are suitable for both European and Japanese motorcycles and cars.
However, M10 in the standard 1.50 pitch are only suitable as replacements on European machines. They will not fit Japanese vehicles which use their own specialised fine thread. Please see the next section in the catalogue for our specially produced range of M10 and M12 fine thread bolts for Japanese vehicles.
M10(1.25 pitch) and M12(1.25 pitch) FINE THREAD METRIC BOLTS
For use on Japanese motorcycles and cars. M10(1.25) bolts have a 17mm spanner size, M12(1.25) bolts have a l9mm spanner size. The Japanese often
use a smaller size head on their bolts, so please check there is sufficient clearance for the standard size head we supply, before ordering.
NOTES ON METRIC BOLTS
M4 fits spanner size 7mm. M4 thread pitch is 0.70mm.
M5 fits spanner size 8mm. M5 thread pitch is 0.80mm.
M6 fits spanner size 10mm. M6 thread pitch is 1.00mm.
M7 fits spanner size 11mm. M7 thread pitch is 1.00mm.
M8 fits spanner size 13mm. (Japanese M8 bolts use 12mm spanner size). M8 thread pitch is 1.25mm.
M10 fits spanner size 17mm. M10 thread pitch is 1.50mm.

Looking at the bike it is F1, frame running gear brakes etc, I'll leave the engine number to the experts.

Just in the motorhome at a campsite at the end of the runway at RAF Valley Anglesey - Hawks landing over our head - love it!

Must be the same one that I went on holiday to when I was knee high to a grasshopper, I could not understand how the aircraft flew without propellers, it was very confusing. Cheers Dennis

I always use Brillo pads for that sort of work as they are not too harsh.

Sounds familier I sold my newish 750K2 in 1972 to put a deposit down on a house and bought a CD175 as my day to day transport.

I heard about Evaporust on here (Ted) and tried it out, and it worked a treat most impressive.

Used some on my daughters bathroom (wet room) ceiling and walls, and it does work though it's horrible to apply.

Great photos, fascinating stuff, as a long time Mosquito admirer once I heard about the project I signed up for the newsletter to keep up with the progress, it will be great to have an airworthy Mosquito in the UK again.

As the bike was completely stripped it was easier for me to fit the frame to the engine when I rebuilt my CB750, the grandson helped me.    Cheers Dennis

Better put a padlock on my loft hatch at those prices.

Sounds like you have really had it tough, a really horrible time of it, so go out and get a bike and enjoy it.

Well took the Honda out for a spin, it went great however I did not, I have recently been diagnosed with Carpal tunnel syndrome by a physio and have been woken up at night with pains in my hands, pins and needles and a burning sensation in my hands.
I thought nothing of it but after about a mile on the bike my throttle hand was really painful so much so that I had to return home, after the physios referal I got in touch with my doctors who have managed to find me an appoinment for June so hopefully I can get something sorted.
Cheers
Dennis
