Honda UK registered CB500K0's
« on: January 02, 2021, 12:43:37 PM »
Happy New Year from Round about city and tier 4 lockdown
Could the knowledged many on this forum
Advise on how many UK K0's exist  ?
My bet is  press fleet / dealer demo's only
10 ish ?
Here's my (US) spec K0 gradually changing to UK spec. seat refurbished  by me with Bob the seat parts and clocks mended/refurbished by kent400 look as good as NOS.

We had a Gold UK K0, sold it 5years ago and we have another UK 500 K0 here in black which Graham will be starting a full restoration on this year.

And so you should be, its a very nice bike you have there. I could be wrong but I think it was one restored by a forum member 🤔

I’m sure you’re right, he’s a genius! Super meticulous about every little detail. It doesn’t get much better. Just wish we could all get out more.

The world of the proper UK 500 K0's is very, very small Ash and Graham has had his hands on a majority of them now in one way or another 😊😊

Yes, it's been difficult but hopefully we will all get a lot more mileage done this year.

I feel suitably humbled.

Those UK K0s are indeed gorgeous.

Mine’s an import (via James) but does have square cases (and a J plate)

Maybe I need one of each?
