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

Hi Steve.

You are correct - we didn't get the K3-K5 here.

Here's a '72 K2...



Don't know about other years but why would they change it?

PS: Where in N Kent?

There are a few on here from that neck of the woods.

Never saw a gold CB750, I had a gold K1 (1971 K reg) and a gold K2 (1972 L reg), my mate had a later CB750 which was blue with the black centre panel on the tank, in fact a few of the guys had them. My CB750 was the Blue/greeny colour, which was the only colour that we saw in this part of the UK.
These are US models but interesting. http://www.sohc4.net/index.php?q=content/model-guide-2

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
