What year do I have.
« on: October 11, 2017, 10:45:33 PM »
So I've been trying to figure this out, and I've been looking at all the charts I can find but I still cant seem to make sense of it. I was told it was a 1974 CB750, but the title says its a 75' and I'm not sure what to make of the frame and engine numbers. The engine # is CB750E-2406182 and the frame # is CB750-2524504

Can you read the manufacturing date on the frame tag?
Based on the numbers you have a K5.

A couple of pictures would help.
There are differences between the K4 and the K5, like blinkers and controls for example.
Do you have a copy of the Honda Shop Manual or Parts List for your bike? Get one here:

BTW - a 75 (K5) can easily have a 74 manufacture date. And, the Engine and frame numbers do not ever match - except in very rare cases. That's not a big deal.
