Hi just looking at the KO is that airbox correct! The reason I ask is that I have the same one on a April 1971 K0 but thought they should be the same as the tank and side panel covers
Nurse Julie:
No, that airbox is not correct. There are quite a few things incorrect with that particular bike.
jojotut:
Ok thanks for that, do you know anyone who has info on the K0's imported to the UK.

Initial batch of 20 imported in January 1970 (build date October 1969) I have the 14th one and Mick Taylor (kettle738) on here had the 1st CB750 1010369 but he has sold his. The 1st one of the batch was restored by a guy in York then sold to a guy called Eamon (SteveD's friend ). There were then two significant batches imported in early 1970 and probably a lot more in the latter part of 1970.
Honda UK were 'testing the water' with the 1st batch evidently because they got their fingers burned with unsold stock of the CB450K0 Black Bombers. Plus other markets got priority. For instance we never officially got any sandcast bike in the UK.
I do have a spreadsheet file with the UK model bikes Frame/Eng/Registrations that I (and others) have gathered over a ten year period.
One of the first batch of 20 was broken for spare parts out of the crate by Queens Park Motors in Salford. A guy I know in York (same guy who restored 1010369) bought the frame when QPM closed and built a bike mainly from NOS parts.
