Topic: 1974 CB750 Engine Number Font

I was looking at a 74 CB750 on our NZ equivalent of Ebay. One of the pictures is of the engine number which looks non-original to me. However, there is also a picture of the dealers delivery certificate that quotes the same engine number. Maybe the cases got replaced at some stage and re-stamped ?

Dealer restamp, not factory

Yep, restamp

Looking at the numbers on the cases more closely, it looks like the "CB" and "E" are factory stamped, allowing the dealer to add in the 750 number in between ?
I thought replacement cases were blank ?
I'm not going to buy the bike by the way - was just killing time during my lunch break.

Nope, wrong font for both letters and numbers. Personal i wouldnt worry about a restamp it hasnt been ground out and at least it has been stamped, a lot of dealers didnt bother.
