Oh yes I messed it up with K5. You are fully right, Julie! Correcting my post..
Hi, are you buying to ride or as a money making venture? If its the former, as long as the price is right why worry, they are all genuine Honda’s . Seriously though, the frame vin plate is the big giveaway, and the V5 of course... but a determined restorer can easily remove the expensive chromed components off a usa bike and replace them with the cheaper painted components off a uk model.

Much easier to get a cheap chrome tail light bracket as, there are loads about and you can get repro yank chrome ones for years now. The UK tail light bracket is rare to get hold of and that is why anyone trying to make a yank bike look like a UK one will, always have the wrong bracket and usually the wrong mudguard. The UK K6 rear mudguard is unique to the UK market.
