Lovely looking bike that Sfbrain, apart from the seat. I've always fancied a 750. Good luck with the restoration.
Yeah, I noticed the seat too..are you sure there's not a family of asylum seekers in there ? 
Alright, Alright about the seat  Its actually a really good seat base with the foam and a new seat cover 'plonked' on it, and not fitted  So i'm happy with the seat Steve

Thanks guys  Next 'obvious' question is .............. where can i get the correct paint from  ? Judging by the name, its not a candy, but is a metalic Probably wont start the restoration until winter (when i get 4 months off ) but have already started collecting bits for her. Will show you the progress when i start. Thanks again Steve

Hi Guys
Anyone out there running a bike with a front numberplate fitted ??
Or anyone got an old front numberplate in their sheds ??
If so, would they please be prepared to take it off and draw round it to make a template and send it to me ??

OK Guys, i've been doing some more research today  Firstly i decided to establish which model she is ...................... and she is a K2, distiguishing features being, left hand switch gear (and therefore loom), clocks and clock mount, cylinder head casting, chrome headlight shrouds, brake pedel etc etc So, assuming still that she is actually a UK bike (oldstyle log book says first registered Sept 74), i guess her bodywork has been replaced with a US set ?? Research into K2 colours came up with 5 colours. Candy Ruby Red Brier Brown Met Custom Flake Sunrise Orange Candy Gold Custom Planet Blue Met Custom So, checking the colours out and seeing the logbook says Blue, i think i will restore her in the Planet Blue, just like this picture  Unless more research says its not right Steve

Hi steve , i am in sidcup and also like to do restorations if you click the blue link in my post it will take you to my current restoration
i am not a member of the vjmc and dont really take part in that sort of thing although i should really start to, there seems to be many like minded people on this forum,
Yoshi (tim) is a member of the vjmc and i think goes to the meetings, he also lives just outside sidcup you may well know him, i have met up with him a few times and he has helped me out by selling me some spares for my bike.
I might go to the gamecock if they are ok with non members turning up
Pete
Hi Pete I'm not a member of the VJMC either  The Gamecock meet is very informal and anyone who likes old bikes is welcome. I may well know Yoshi by sight I started going with a few other members of the RD Aircooled club (which i am a member of and have a few bikes) Will be there on Thursday, feel free to come along if you are free. I've already looked at your project , very nice, incidently i got a pair of F2 comstar wheels with my project, if they are are any help to anyone ?? Steve

That tank has been re-painted, from memory only the K7 had a panel like that and that had striping round it
Hi Bryanj Thanks for the reply, i thought the K2-K5 looked like these two 1974 examples   The Blue one being my bike ? This is why i asked the question, there does seem to be some confusion Steve

Well i'm currently on the front page as the 'Lastest Member' so thought i'd better introduce myself I'm based near Sidcup in North Kent and am a bit of a serial restorer, which i mainly do between November and March each year (This is when i'm not working (outside MotoGP season )) I attend the VJMC monthly meeting at the Gamecock pub (by Brands Hatch) on the 1st Thursday of every month (when i'm not abroad working) and there are a few old Hondas there each month Will be there next Thursday if anyone is interested ? Steve

Hi Guys Thanks for the quick replys I actually prefer the earlier design, but i'm a bit of a purist, so she will be restored to correct standard. So will have the black panel Here is my project  She is just about all original, the front mudguard even has the holes for a front number plate can you still get them ?? I'm very near Sidcup and go to the VJMC meeting at the Gamecock pub (by Brands Hatch) 1st Thursday of the month. Will be there next week, last month there were 2 K series 750's there I'm sure i will need some help from you guys along the way Thanks again Steve

Hi Guys I am a serial restorer and have just aquired a 1974 cb750 K2 (apparently all UK bikes were designated K2 from 72 - 76 ?). I beleive it to be a UK bike. The tank has the black panel which i thought was correct for a 74 bike, however a gold 75 has just appeared on ebay with the black stripe above the honda badge (which i thought was K0 and K1 ?) Does anyone know the definative info on the early 750 tank designs Thanks guys Steve
