CB750 K series tank design ???

<< < (2/4) > >>

Bryanj:
That tank has been re-painted, from memory only the K7 had a panel like that and that had striping round it

Hi Bryanj

Thanks for the reply, i thought the K2-K5 looked like these two 1974 examples





The Blue one being my bike ?

This is why i asked the question, there does seem to be some confusion  ??? ??? ???

Bryanj:
From memory that style of paint job was only on US bikes and the stripes were never available seperately from Honda so however you look at it its still had a re-paint mate

OK Guys, i've been doing some more research today  :D

Firstly i decided to establish which model she is ...................... and she is a K2, distiguishing features being, left hand switch gear (and therefore loom), clocks and clock mount, cylinder head casting, chrome headlight shrouds, brake pedel etc etc

So, assuming still that she is actually a UK bike (oldstyle log book says first registered Sept 74), i guess her bodywork has been replaced with a US set ??

Research into K2 colours came up with 5 colours.

Candy Ruby Red
Brier Brown Met Custom
Flake Sunrise Orange
Candy Gold Custom
Planet Blue Met Custom

So, checking the colours out and seeing the logbook says Blue, i think i will restore her in the Planet Blue, just like this picture



Unless more research says its not right

Steve
