Thanks for the info, I have had a look at that table already, I just don't see what makes it a 77, the number isn't the same? Yeah there's a 2 but it's not identical is it?

Thanks again.

If your numbers fall somewhere between 2000007 and 2100001 you have a 1977.

Your Honda dealer can get lots of parts, but there are many that just are no longer available OEM.

Most dealer websites have links to on-line parts fische. So you can look up a part and get the Honda part number. Then just Google the number and you will likely come up with multiple sources.

I need new pistons and rings, there's a set on eBay but it says there not suitable for a k3 model, anyone know why? Or what the differences are? What parts or interchangeable etc? Is this motor deffo a k3 and not a super sport or anything? There seems to be a few models made in 1977

Thanks
