And looking at photo's of K6's the oil filler was through the side panel mine was under the side panel, curious, it doesn't matter to me which model it is as I'm only using it as a donor, the difficulty is I now don't know which fork stanchions to get!  :)

By the frame / engine numbers thats a k6 for sure. What shape were the tank / side covers that came with it?
This is the tank.

CB750 / CB750 Frame numbers, I'm getting confused!
« on: February 16, 2014, 02:22:06 PM »
I just had a look at the frame number on my 1977 K7 (well I thought it was a K7!), it starts 2583, according to a website I found that makes it a K6, the engine number starts CB750E-2473, that also makes it a K6 according to the site I just looked on, it was registered 08/06/1977, have I got a K6?, I am looking for some pattern fork stanchions, that's why I need to know, my stanchions are 583mm long and the centre of the grooves are 65mm from the end of the stanchions, does anyone know if these are k6 or K7 stanchions?, cheers Mark.

Here's a short documentary (12 mins)

CB750 / CB750 K7 Pattern fork stanchions??
« on: February 16, 2014, 01:29:40 PM »
Has anyone found pattern fork stanchions for a K7 (1977)?, I can find them for the F2 etc but they are different, the centre of the groove on the K7 fork is approx 65mm from the end of the stanchion, I just took mine out to get them re-chromed but there is a slight bend in them, nothing too bad but by the time I've paid for them to be straightened and re-chromed it's probably going to cost £200 ish, if you know of a supplier please let me know, cheers Mark.

CB750 / Re: Laid up insurance
« on: February 14, 2014, 04:46:01 PM »
Thanks Bryan, I just insured with Footman James, £58 , not too bad so long as they don't argue the agreed valuation when they receive the photos etc, if they do I'll just cancel it and go else where, it's hard to value something that is half built!.
