Those would both be "K-0s" but not sandcast. They are diecast, but still worth quite a bit of $$$$.

As Tools said, not sandcast. Sandcast was only in 69 and only for part of it. Late 69 was diecast.

That engine should be a "Sandcast" but the frame is for a later K-O Diecast.
Question, do you have these bikes, or know where they are, and laid eyes on them?

I have the first two and I am looking to buy the 3rd one. Yes I've looked at it.  So this engine was put into the frame of another bike? No possible way its a matching bike?

I would say it is highly unlikely that the engine is original to the frame. How about some pictures of your bikes? It's not often you see K-Os. I have an early diecast engine, but doubt I would ever find a frame with a close enough serial No# to do a restore, so I am hoping to find a hardtail chopper frame from the early 70s to put it in. Oh, I even have the early round (no fins) oil filter housing for my engine.

interesting!
 I am working on what I believe to be a 1980 750C however my Frame number is #RC012200599. I cannot locate an engine number separate and the VIN number is listed on the Title as stated above. Did you solve your original mystery? and can direct me to where I can decode this VIN? I cannot seems to get any match from my online search and thus starting to believe this was never shipped to the US.

Cheers

Baz, according to my info this frame number relates to a US CB750C 1980. Engine number should be in range RC01E-2109040 to 2136728.

Eric, you are a star mate.
With a little elbow grease and a piece of scotch brite I was able to scrub off the oxidation of the engine and with the info you provided I can now confirm my engine # is RC01E-2114001. I will take it to be Custom and not K model.

Thanks again
Baz
