What model is this from?
« on: July 07, 2009, 10:55:26 PM »
Hi
I have a pair of side panels I bought but then discovered that one of the lugs appears to be 90 degress out. Firstly I thought it had been tampered with but there is no sign of any disturbance to the lug.
Does anyone know of a SOHC model that these could be from? They will be heading back to EBay as soon as I find out!
Thanks
Rick

Damned computers, they never write what you want to say!!! Besides, I attached 2 pictures but they never appeared!

I bought the panels hoping they would fit my 750/4 K5, if I remember correctly they were advertised as 750/4 but gave no model.
Thanks for your help.

They are from a 500 or 550. Are there any numbers embossed into the back?
323=500
404=550K3

If no numbers then they are not OEM and are aftermarket replacements.

Just checked my 500 (original)

The two top lugs should be "spade" shaped and orientated horizontally.
The lower lug is round.

Looking at the badge holes I would also say it's a K3. The F1 and F2 had transfers on the panels.

F1 and F2 had different-shaped panels Dave (smaller)

They are marked 404, so from what has been stated already they are from a 550, thanks so far, but was there a 550 with one vertical and one horizontal lug?
I am tempted to cut, insert a length of stud and resecure for them to be both horizontal. They are destined for EBay anyway.
Thanks again guys.
