New Member and looking for some help on a KO

[WideAWAKE]

Just picked this up (wasn’t looking but they find me haha)

From the running of the Vin it shows 70 K0

I’d like to bring it back to its original candy blue.

I am trying to figure out some details that I’m sure many on here may easily be able to help with as I’m not super versed in the 750. I’ve had a few 350s - got a cb160, a 500t (cut down) and a few xs650s so this guy is a bit out of my realm in terms of small details.

I’m wondering mainly about the front fender (is it stock)? I know it’s not a double or single cut so I’m thinking it came off a later k2 which I believe the tank and headlight ears came from. I do have the original ears.

Is my seat stock? I know it’s been recovered. It’s got a green foam.

I know the tank is not K0 - but is it the same tank just a different color?? As in, can it be painted and rebadged to a K0?

I know the side covers are repops.

Harness looks fried but it came with a new harness that looks to be of high quality made in Japan.

Gotta love those red stickers on the heat shields hahaha

Any other things that stick out as wrong??

Thanks I’m advance for any and all help!

Finishing up an xs build at the moment and this will be up next.

Seat pan is probably stock but the foam is about half the thickness of stock. Rear shocks also not stock.

Thank you.

Pan seemed to line up nicely and close well.

And yes shock definitely not stock. No clue what they are from but garbage for sure.

I'm not good at this game because I like to cut them up, but dang that one looks like a nice bike.
