Wow, they were doing inspection stickers back in 78?  Uh, that is the top one, lol.  It means it may of passed a mechanical/light inspection for that state - meaning it worked.

 It looks like a 77 or 78 750F super sport from what I can tell. Non stock front fender and paint. Exhaust is aftermarket as you noted. Never heard of a G model. Looks like a nice bike.

Looks very 1977, from here. What does the steering head say? There should be a "Model Year" metal plate on one side of the steering head (maybe under the paint?).

SERIAL NO IS 1011658  thanks for all the help guys fires up well and runs ok

brakes to sort and new exhaust needed then a good clean off to the mot man soon me hopes

Like has been said before the sticker shows it had a state inspection, the same as our MOT test. US bikes normally had a plate on the steering head with the manufacture date and frame number, same as stamped on steering head.
Don't take a lot of notice of the UK Logbook details they are given by whoever applied for the UK registration, the DVLA take it as correct to a great degree and only check frame and engine numbers and mileage. My CL is shown as first registered 1/1/72 even though I told them it was built 8/72, it now carries a K registration should be L.
