All 500s K0-K2 had the long damper and this was screwed into the top bolt of the fork leg.

In the process of rebuilding a supposedly totally rebuilt 1972. 500. (think I've been fleeced!!) When I rode the bike briefly the front end felt rock hard. Played about with different fork oil and check that everything was straight. Today I removed the fork springs which measured 480mm in length. According to the manual they should be around 425 to 450mm. Plus also there is no long damper rod in these forks making me think there later forks. Would I be right in this assumption?? I've also ordered some progressive springs from Bike Barn as my previous order with Performance Parts never did arrive after waiting nearly six weeks (buyers beware!!)

A quick scroll down and incorrect info on the switch gear, master cylinder, sub loom, and grab rail The topic was the damper. Nevertheless all info for the K2 model (ED, F, G) there is correct. Also the CB500K2 Parts List for continental Europe is correct. The only thing you could maybe debate on, is the depiction of the front spring, but who can blame that Japanese fellow for borrowing a pic from elsewhere to avoid drawing all these windings over and over again.
If you scroll to the top of this thread, the topic is 1972 500. No mention of a K2
