Need to confirm year before Spending $$$$ on gasekets, help?
« on: September 18, 2009, 12:58:27 AM »
Hi all

I have a CB 750k (k2/k3/k4?)

Been reading a bit about the engine numbers and years, and i just wish to confirm my findings with regard to my bike, as i want to fix a head leak, so i have to get some gaskets, but have no idea what to order.
Some people have mentioned different numbers in different countries
She's been put together by some PO'.

I live in South Africa

Frame number  2098780
Engine            2248871

So if i am reading it right the frame is a k2? 1972
and the engine is a K3? 1973

Thanks for any help
Thor
