HELP Identifying Honda CB Fork

[Oranga]

I took apart the forks on my CB350 because the screw at the bottom of the fork case was leaking. Part number 19 shown here in the K4 diagram

However, after i got everything apart, what I had was a lot closer to the K2/K3 model:

Take a look at the picture below to see my fork with all internal components taken out (external spring is not shown).

So it looks like my fork bottom case matches up with the K4, but the internals match up with the K2/K3. Which begs the question, what do I have here since that screw mates up with that small cylinder in the middle?

Also - should i replace the copper crush washer (part 22 in the K4 diagram) to make sure it doesn't leak? Or would i be okay reusing it and paying attention to it's orientation?

Thanks for the help!

Okay, here's another wrinkle. The bottom screw that i have is a 6mm x 22mm long, instead of 8x27 as listed in the K4 diagram. What has me concerned now is that the copper crush washer is not a listed part so i don't know how to get replacements.

Any thoughts on either my original question on what part i have here, or where I might be able to get some replacement crush washers?

Did you run a VN check? Who was the PO. Did they change anything? The top of the fork looks pretty pitted. Might be better to get new Used ones in better shape.

The VIN shows its a K2. But that screw in the bottom of the fork is still throwing me for a loop.

Don't know what any of the previous owners might have changed.

That stuff you see on the fork tube is all on the surface, no pitting.

Those forks are from the earlier models. Should be able to get another copper crush washer from a local hardware or auto parts.
