According to a parts book tha I have, UK CB750's started at frame number 1010369 and US  versions at 100001
K1's at 1044650 in US and 1066912 in the UK.

Not sure where that puts your K0, but I would guess at mid to late run.

Not that it really matters as it is one of the original CB750's.

AshimotoK0:
The best think about your bike is it's a Genuine (Oval rear lamp) CB750 or if a later one a genuine rare K0. Sandcasts were never sold here so I can't really see why people in the UK wax on about them (unless they are treating it as an investment). Think of the history and stories of that bike. Some guy and his wife using it for their sole mode of transport for years on a Scottish Island. I bet there are many tales to be told about it's history. Imagine in 1970 it's appearance there, where it would have been admired by schoolboys but told it was 'Jap Crap' by old A10 riders. Maybe, we should have a 'Who do you think you are' TV program' for vehicles.

Enjoy the restoration in your retirement and take your time. Then when it's finish go back with it on holiday to the Island it came from.

Seamus:
I can only agree with Ash's sentiments here.
Nice thought

Seamus
