I'd say a 1972 cb750k , If I remember right, I emailed that seller and told him that they didn't appear to be 75's, he even replied and thanked me-HUH, guess he kept info to himself.  Anyway I could use them IF you want to sell, just let me know.   Dave

If they came off a K5 it had been fitted with earlier forks

They came from a K1 or 1972 K2.
The K0 forks are different visually.
You need to get K3-K6 forks. F or F1 forks will fit, but they are slightly longer and you will have to use the short F fork covers rather than the fork boots
