To all the XR75 experts, the XR75K4 (5 speed) that was released late 1976 has black lower fork legs, in regards to the tyre pressure decal all previous model XR75's had the tyre pressure sticker be it on the rear fender K0-K2 and K3-K5 on the chainguard so unless Honda forgot to put them on early on production of the K4 which I doubt but mistakes can happen???, maybe the little XR75 assembler that was his job to put the decal on the assembly line was having a sickie that day!!!. The K3-K5 came with the decal on the side of the chainguard, I remember always peeling them off my new XR's nearly straight away as they looked daggy back then.

I have all the stock parts I pulled off my XR75 K5 back in 1978 packed away in my dads garage.
I will dig out the chain guard on the weekend and if its got the sticker on it I will take a photo and post it on here.

Sorry for the delay,  but here are a couple of pics of that elusive chain guard sticker.
This is off my 1978 XR75.
