Model & Year Please
« on: February 03, 2006, 01:50:56 PM »
"Monster Red" on our UK board www.honda-sohc.co.uk bought a '79 CB750 on "an impulse" off eBay.

Frame number is CB750K - 2734295
Engine number is CB750E - 2735283

What has he got?

By frame number, sounds like a '77.
We'll all be someone else's PO some day.

Hi Steve, according to myUS guide its a CB750K'77 759 Four K, But you know how Honda UK pissed about with the 500 so who knows for certain
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Remember "Its always in the last place you look" COURSE IT IS YOU STOP LOOKIN THEN!
