 I bought 9 cb750's this month to resell to generate funds for my diecast paint job. I'm keeping a few of the nice parts and while unloading I noticed the bottom of a K5's engine is 1002695. I'm going to swap it out for a K4 engine and look for a good head and cylinder block for it. I've got a set of carbs and a valve cover close to that number.

  I already have a complete bike #5511 it's a preservation bike. Not restored but pretty nice. I've put on oem handlebars, it's original rolled rim, a new red seat foam under the original cover and Honda side covers. The rear spoke nipples are incorrect, that bugs me.

Steve,
Don means his newly purchased bike came with Sandcast cases and a later K? top end.

 Yes, sorry I gave a poor description. It's a complete engine with a sandcast crankcase and a K5 cylinder/head. 1002695. 10 bolt clutch cover and K5 carbs too dangit.

 I found two heads and a cylinder. Not perfect but pretty good. I already have the correct rocker cover and hopefully correct case covers.
