Thanks to you both but it seems Jake is right - K70s. Thanks very much I wasnt sure. Anyone have experience with these tires? Mileage/tire? Wear? Good for dirt roads?

cheers

Yup I'd say those are K70s.  I just put a new set on my bike, so I can't tell you how long they last, but I really like the way they handle.  They're pretty sticky.  And yes, on dirt roads they're great! 
Pretty cheap tires, too, around $60 each online.
When I get some miles on them I'll report my findings ;D

no real feeback from me either, i just put a set on a 69 triumph trophy 650c, but i only put about 20 miles on them before i had to give the bike back to the guy that wanted me to fix that old dog up. pretty cool bike, pretty nimble bike if i must say so myself. seemed like it weighed half as much as a cb750.

Those my friend are Dunlop K70s and they're about the coolest retro tire you can put on a cb750 these days. Just did so myself and they handle great.
This project started in confusion and will end in disarray.

Those look good for practicing your rear wheel drift on corner exits! Do they really grip good in the corners? I use Bridgestone BT-45's or Metzeler ME-33's myself.

I have BT-45s and they are excellent road tires. However they are not much good for the semi-off road stuff or very rough roads.
