Author Topic: Should frame and engine numbers match on 1974 CB750 ? (Read 3900 times)

Just wondering if the frame and engine numbers all matched when leaving the factory.

I think my 74 cb750 has a replacement engine.

No they never match or matched from the factory

Thanks, They are in the same ballpark, just not on the same base.

Correct.

The engine should match the year.....but thats about as close as they come.

If they match its hookey. Engine should be within a couple hundred higher than frame

My 72 engine number is almost 8000 higher than the frame number.
Heres a nice listing of frame and engine numbers.
