About the Honda CB360K
1974 K0 identification and a focused carburetor, gasket and clutch buying guide.
Honda identifies the 1974 CB360 as CB360K0: a 356 cc OHC parallel twin with a six-speed transmission and a mechanical front drum brake. The contemporary CB360G has a hydraulic front disc. The two versions can share specific engine-service listings while requiring different brake parts.
Keep factory identity and catalog coverage separate
The featured carburetor kit, spring set and individual steel plate explicitly list CB360K 1974. The gasket set also includes that application, but its broader catalog years are not a factory production timeline. Use the installed engine and the joints being opened to check a reseal order.
Identification and parts selectionCB360K0 and CB360G: the original 1974 distinction
| Model or assembly | Identifying detail | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| CB360 / CB360K0 | Frame starts CB360-1000012; engine starts CB360E-1000012. | Mechanical front drum in Honda’s original U.S. specification. |
| CB360G | Frame starts CB360G-1000002; engine starts CB360E-1000002. | Hydraulic front disc; use the CB360G collection when appropriate. |
| Changed fork, wheel or brake | Photograph the installed assembly and its markings. | Match the actual brake hardware independently of a shared carb or clutch application. |
| Later CB360T | Use the T model and year in the individual application. | Compare CB360T parts; K0 identifiers do not establish a T fit. |
These are published starting identifiers for U.S. models, not full serial-number ranges.

Frame, engine & fitted componentsHonda CB360K identification checklist
Use these details to match your motorcycle and any replacement assemblies before ordering.
- Record the full frame number, model designation and year. Use the complete CB360K label when asking about a catalog application.
- Record the engine number and compare the gasket joint, cover openings and fitted engine before selecting a reseal set.
- Photograph the carburetor markings and existing service pieces. Check any replacement carburetors independently of the frame identity.
- Identify the front drum or hydraulic disc assembly and any replacement wheel or fork. Keep clutch plate type, stack position and quantity in your repair notes.
