Here's one that is 2broken fins away from being worth (to me)just about what he's asking.

He posted the listing 8 days ago, it's not selling quickly at that price.  I'm confused about the details in the listing about the carbs.

He's saying he has the old style carbs with each carb having it's own cable that merges into a single cable heading up to the throttle grip.

yeah, i'm not sure what he is talking about.  If his bike is a 1970, it is a K0.

I think he is confused about the carbs too.  Sounds like someone said such and such and he took it as dead fact.

There were multiple iterations of the 4-1 throttle cable.  I think he is just confused, his confusion carries over to the reader though, what he appears to be talking about really doesn't even warrant mentioning.

Yeah we got that part, but that's normal.  What does "Not a K0" despite being a 1970 cb750 mean?  The bar he is talking about sounds like the later style linkage from 71 up which is NOT normal for a k0.

Exactly.  I think we know more about his bike than he.

I had to read it again and yes it is confusing. Now what i'm thinking he's saying is that it's a late 69 titled as a 70 because HE THOUGHT all the 1970 bikes came with the later carbs.
