Finally found one. I have service records on my bike from 2010 to present, in 2010 it had 3,750 miles on it. The service records from then to the present 9,435 miles show replacement parts of the usual wear items. It has been converted to electronic ignition. Of course the records can only be as correct as the person keeping them.

I give up trying to post the pics.

Take a screen shot of the picture you have taken. It reduces the size that to what is accepted by the forum specs. Then crop off the excess top and bottom of the screen shot.

Here's my recently acquired '78 CB750F SS with 12k miles. Trying to keep it as stock as possible, but the exhaust damage just below the brake pedal pivot may be an issue once I get it running.

Nice gold bike!
I like the warm tone of the color. Looks really good.
Is it stock paint?

No the paint is not stock. My painter matched from a piece of left side side cover that had not been exposed to the sun

 Here are 3 K0's from my collection.  The blue-green bike is shown on Lester mags but it's back on wire wheels now. Red is the first 750 sold at our local shop, it's a Sandcast.
 The Sandcast is mostly original, it has repainted Honda side covers and a Yamiya exhaust, The gold bike is named the nugget, when purchased, it was brown and looked like a different kind of nugget, it's very original except a 341 exhaust and a tin set done by Vic Worlds painter. Gold wrinkle tank though. The blue green bike is a total restore with a Yamiya exhaust and a newer engine. I'm always watching for an engine in the 14,000 range.

Don, I'm sure your 3 K0's are not only bikes, part of your bike family with a long history.
- Which one to save if you must sell 2 of them? ;)

Have been trying to sell a recently restored K4 that came with Lester’s. Seems that they are not respected as a draw to some buyers. So I decided , screw it will take off the Lester’s and put on stock wire wheels and sell the Lester’s separately. What do you think?
