Sorry but as you know the 500 is my jam (as the kids would say) and that's a poor example of one. As Graham says seat cover is repro, the rear dampers are aftermarket, I'm not 100% sure on this and could be wrong but I always remembered the tank stripes as being white on them all and those look silver, could be wrong though as they do kinda make sense. Seat is a poor fit, chrome stripe no longer lines up with the tank chrome, unless of course DS left the seat slightly up for some reason.Considering the amount of spares DS is supposed to have you'd have thought they'd have replaced all the polished casings for originals. Nothing against polished I may add but if your doing a museum you want it to look as standard as possible, like the British Museum have a T Rex with a chicken bone for a front leg, just doesn't look right.
suggestion,is it worth organizing a weekend visit, B & B for those that need it? maybe a sunday visit and saturday BBQ at a local pub ??

I wonder if we qualify as a 'Club' to get FOC entry? (The amount of money we have all spent with DSS over the years, I think we part own it anyway) 😃😃😃

I had two new CB500/4's in the 1970's (1973 & 1974). Both were black with silver lines on the tank. I don't know if they're still around now (DCJ 75L & WFH 140M).
