new guy, Looking for the year this CB 750 K was made in.

Ryno

RC01E-2137774, There is no indication of the year model on the back of the neck. I think it's a 1980 but could be 1981 or 1982..I would like to be sure. any thoughts?

Thanks!

This might help, but I think you are giving the engine number, not the frame number. The engine numbers have an "E" in them. Your frame should be RC01A, RC01B, or RC01C.

Thanks Toolz,

I checked the frame number and  it's Rc 012119212. There is no A B or C and it is only 11 charcters long, not  17. If I use the catalog you referenced, then RC 01 could be any CB750 K from 1978-1982. And seeing as I dont have any of the year indicators Z, A,B or C in my VIN, I still dont know exactly which year it was made in. i cant find another makers plate on the frame either.

The tailpiece does look like a 79.
