Good eye! Great information with some explanations we may not have been aware of. 
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

It was me who bought them off eBay UK last year and scanned them and posted on FaceBook. I already had quite a few bulletins,  mainly from Bryan Jones but some early ones missing.

Here is the link to the early ones I collected (that go beyond #24)

Great. Thanks for posting. I discovered that the 16T (stamped) sprocket on my early Sandcast is not the original (some failed), but the replacement. Never seen that one before.

Neat! I haven't seen those early ones, I think.
Thanks for providing these.

 Now I understand the three punch marks on the rear hub of my 5511 sandcast, throttle valves, cush drive rubbers and chain replacement. Other bikes have three punches on the engine pad, I always wondered if it was just a service techs preference.
 I didn't see where the punch marks were referenced though, so it may have been an unofficial way to know at a glance if re-calls were already done. It appears my 14,100 would have been recalled in that one also. I never had the original engine case which may have been stamped. It had Lester mags, so the hub was gone also.
  It also appears that Honda went to the 17 tooth sprocket early in sandcast production for K0 and the 18 tooth in K1. 
  We think these were the first and third cb750 sold at our local shop, the guy that assembled them still has the #2 bike.

  We've seen pictures of the oil filter housings with the cracks that guys have posted. They probably were ones that missed the updated housings and were over-tightened.
  I also may have re-installed the sandcasts cush rubbers incorrectly after cleaning them and the housing. The flat side may be towards the rib, the recall shows the curved side towards the rib. I'll get right on that, L0L!

This is the first good documentation that I have seen that says the K1's were 18 tooth. Everything I have read said it was a 17. Hummm
