My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
Craizeehair:
Frame and engine numbers, I’m really interested to know what’s correct with this bike and what isn’t but I guess that will need to be a whole new thread. It was advertised as a 1970 K2, which with my limited knowledge seems correct with the serial numbers?

See pics for correct K1

Ok, that’s good to know. I will check the numbers and post them. Would be good to know what is correct and what isn’t. I’m planning on keeping this one so it would be good to get it correct.

Engine number is USA K2. Tank is 1969 K1 (K2 tank did not have the rubber kneepads). Seat was same pattern on K1 and K2 so correct for a K2. Chainguard is correct for K2 (it's painted black and K1 had chromed chainguard). Headlamp shell and side panels would be same colour as tank on a K2. maybe PO just like the K1 style and swapped parts. (see pic for correct K2 style paintwork) .
Clocks are metal body K3 onwards. K2 had plastic bodied clocks.
Wheels are correct for K2 (K1 had blind drillings on hubs in-between each spoke hole). Front guard is USA K0/K1 type ... see pic for correct type for K2 but this example has non-standard silencers ... yours look correct.
