Today the posty delivered my registration documents (title USA) for my newley aquired CB750F?

The docs state, first registered Aug 1st 1976..... but the bike looks like a F2...was that not 1977 ?

The frame number starts 1025*** .......the engine starts 3150***........WTF

The registration starts UCK and it's an F

Anyone any ideas or is it a F...uck...up

Well Sam it sounds like you have a '78F3 engine in a '75F frame. It's possible that a '75 wasn't registered until '76 and just as possible that someone swapped out the engine. Have you been had?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #2 on:** March 30, 2007, 06:05:59 PM »

No Mike,...it was a freeby

It having a later motor fitted is no problem, but the F2 didn't come into the UK untill 77 to the best of my knowledge.

The bike looks like a F2 with comstars and twin discs .

UCK strikes again

Free, may favorite price.

It sounds as though more than the engine has been swapped out.

I've been looking around for an old VMJC link that had the frame ID #'s for the UK and Aussie bikes.Couldn't find it

Pretty sure the UK frame #'s differ from the US F2 model which is referred to on our site. Easiest way to check visually is to see if the rear frame loops are missing(rear passenger pegs bolt to them on 75-76 F's). The F2 did away with the loops and added a bulky aluminum bracket on each side to bolt things to.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #6 on:** March 30, 2007, 06:34:50 PM »

That was one of the reasons I was convinced it was an F2,...it has the aloy brackets.

The early F/F1s that came into the UK had like you said a frame section like the K for the rear footrest but I am not sure if it was on both sides of the bike. I don't have any clear pics of the early one on the exhaust side, it looks as if it also has the aloy bracket for the exhaust to hang from.

scondon · « **Reply #9 on:** March 30, 2007, 06:56:07 PM »

'76 750 F1

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #10 on:** March 30, 2007, 07:03:34 PM »

Looks like I have an F1 with F3 motor and F2 front fork and wheels.

Sam.

scondon · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2007, 07:08:32 PM »

Do you have chrome headlight ears with the front signals mounted at bottom(F2) or a black meatal bracket holding the headlight on and a straight metal bar holding the front signals(F/F1)?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #12 on:** March 30, 2007, 07:17:08 PM »

It's all been modded in that area Sean.
It has a twin headlight fairing and adjustable clubman bars but turned upwards.

How do you get yourself into these predicaments Sam?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #16 on:** March 30, 2007, 07:44:06 PM »

Quite easy Mike, I've been stuck in a time warp for forty odd years, playing with little Honda twins, anything else that I come across is totaly new to me

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #20 on:** March 30, 2007, 09:11:30 PM »

You can buy a second hand one in the states for less than a 125-65, 836 Wisecos and a set of Kibblewhite valve stuff.

Sam.

P.S. and it'll be faster

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2007, 12:51:12 PM »

I went into the garage before I came to work to see what I could make of the footrest/exhaust hangers.

If you go to BOTM for April and look at 6pkrunners bike, well that is what I have in my garage, even the exhaust is the same.

Is that an F2 or F3 ?

Sam.

crazypj · « **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2007, 01:04:00 PM »

F2 rear frame /footrest is different to the one shown, so, as previously stated its probably an F1 with F2 bits on it.

Yes Sam, that is an F2 or F3.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #25 on:** March 31, 2007, 02:23:33 PM »

Thanks Mike, guess I'm going to have to check the numbers on the Bike to see if they are the same as in the registration document.
There is no way this bike was first registered in 76.

6pkrunner's bike is definitely '78 F3, only visible difference to the '77 F2 is paint scheme and side badges. Sorry I missed the chance to vote for ya 6pak, your bikes twin is in me garage

I've read on this site that bikes sold in the late months of a year could be early release of next years model. If this is true then someone could have snapped up one of the first 77 F2's in late '76.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2007, 01:22:00 PM »

I only have to work Monday night and will be off for the rest of the week,

... I'll be able to get in the garage and check the numbers on the bike.
I did notice the head light ears are still in place but are black, not chrome.
I have a sneaky feeling that the frame number is not going to match the number in the title document.

Sam - pics of different F headlight mountings. As Scondon said "chrome headlight ears with the front signals mounted at bottom(F2) or a black meatal bracket holding the headlight on and a straight metal bar holding the front signals(F/F1)" If you need detail pics of F3 pieces, I can do that.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #29 on:** April 01, 2007, 04:35:34 PM »

Thanks Dave, mine is the lower one.
