Honda 750 KO K1 which is which ??
Bryanj:
According to the incredibly early parts book i got that small rear light was never fitted to a CB750 They should all have the square edged one like on the 500, unless its in the states and then the even later ones have the HUGE Goldwing one.
Not saying it aint original as Honda, like most manufacturers, would fit whatever was necessary to keep the line going and whats more there are majour inconsistencies on frame numbers/year as we had the K2 all the time that the US went through the K3, K4, K5, K6---even worse on the 500 as they were making 500 K1 for us, 500K2 for the yanks and started a 550 K0/K1 for the yanks all at the same time

Many thanks for the replies. Not sure about the rear light one though. My book shows the early CB750's has having the "smaller" rear light. In fact the part number of the rear lens is 33701-041-601 shows it's the same as the Honda C50. In fact I got a genuine rear lens for a C50 off e-bay last year and it certainly is the correct one. I think the "Square" types started on the K2's, although as previously mentioned, this is probably right for the UK model, the USA models did not fit the oval shape lamp.
The link below shows all the differences, even showing the difference on the German and Dutch versions.

You could well be right as the parts book i have did come from the US. Usefull tho' as it gives part numbers for all the individual "O" rings in the carbs etc
