F1 or F2 or what?
Guymet:
Hi,
I have just put my CB750 SOHC on ebay as i am not getting the time to enjoy it and need space. It is a late 1975 model and i always believed it to be an F2 as it has mag wheels, twin disks on the front and a disk on the back. It also has a black engine. It has lots of mods though and is prtetty non standard. It is also quick.
Some smart** has emailed me to say that it is a K7 and not an F2 which would have had DOHC. It is definately not a K7, but i suppose it might be an F1 or some sort of hybrid. I don't want to mislead anyone and am a bit concerned that i should get the description right.
Can anyone help me sort this out, please.
Take a look at it at

Guy.

Looks a bit of all sorts. the brakes look F2, the exhaust hanger on the right hand side is F1 so I would assume that the frame is F1 also, the rear brake resovoure is F2, The twin disc arrangement on the front is most likley and F2 front end.
I've no idea what the swing arm is, it's a box section one, so not F1 or F2. don't recognise the wheels either.
The engine is black, the F1 engine was unpainted. with it being black this does not mean it is F2, it could have been painted later.
Cars are those like on the F2.

As Egil says, your frame is a '75 (F1) with a '76 (F1) engine. It is normal to have a difference in the numbers as (I believe) they were made in different factories.
The '77 (F2) frames started at 21xxxxx and the engines started at 26xxxxx
