I hadn't thought of looking for the CB450 K1 on CMS, as the CL parts lists go straight from K0 to K2. There you go, no seal on the CB K1 version, as I said the same engine, different cycle parts and gearing. That guy on the twins forum probably has a 1969 K2, which is quite different in some repects, the later tank seat etc, that does have a seal. I don't know when the change was, it must have been very late in the year as my K1 was made in November 1969, but the CMS parts list is specifically for the 1969 K2 CL450. All very confusing.Anyway there was no seal, all the K1 listings I've seen show no seal, that's £40 saved.Today I was mostly polishing:The rear cam cover is an original looking silver paint finish, oddly, maybe it was easier to keep clean that way. I noticed the oil seal for the points drive shaft - I haven't already got a new one, so at least I won't be just ordering a knock pin from Silvers, it seemed a waste of the postage charge for something so tiny.
