Trying to date MM/YY of my K2

Lobo:
Hi all,

Planning a new headstock plate for my K2; which is missing since PO. Anyways, frame # is CB7502077106.... can anyone please advise me how to go about getting the date of manufacture.

Unless someone has an adjacent number of course!

Ta muchly,
Lobo

Don't know if it's any help but my K3 was manufactured in October 1972 (10/72) and has the frame number CB750-2208951

Bryanj:

I thought your K2 was a UK Bike, then NO VIN plate  ;)

Lobo:
Ah, well there ya go... that explains it - thanks chaps. (My 400/4 has VIN plate, but it’s a foreigner!) And thanks Ewan, so ‘she’ definitely pre-dates 10/72...

What set me onto this is that QLD Compliance is n/a to bikes pre 1975, and whilst I know the Fizzy & ‘750 both are, it’d be nice to show some proper proof.

That said, I’m impressed with the ‘can-do’ Australian system vs the bloody DVLA. A nice chap visited my garage, took photos, looked at the 3 post 1975 bikes, took $550 and 5 days later sent me alloy Compliance plates to be riveted to the frames. I told him the other 2 bikes were <1975... he took my word for it.

Next up is the Roadworthy cert - applicable to all bikes (MOT sorta thing). Spoke to ‘Mike’ who’ll do them, he’s happy to apply common sense to the Fizzy using a copy of its 10/01/1975 V5, and also use the 750’s 1973 V5 copy.
But get this... he’s too coming to the house to do all 5 Roadworthy Certs - RESULT!

Thence just admin / plates / insurances. Hopefully on the (sunny) roads early Jan.

Happy Xmas all, still interested tho’ in the dob of my K2!
