Exhausts are mounted exactly right. You don't see that often.

Looks like a Candy Gold custom paint job Julie, original for a K1 as you’d know. Really nice that, is the right hand fork ear damaged or is it just reflections.
Reflection Ken, NOS ears 😊😊😊

Luverly. I don't think Honda ever improved on the looks of the early K0s and K1s.

Very nice,  they look as good now as they have always done.

These fours really did change the whole direction of bike design, especially the four piper originals.

A beautiful bike Julie.

Beautiful bike, congratulation to your birthday!
Great job of Trig, as always!

I need to say, as time goes, I love more and more these classic CB500 four design.
For me, CB750K0/K1 and this classic trumpette CB500/550 is the best Honda design ever

I've only spotted 2 none original bits on that Julie.

Is the seat new or a second hand one or a recover?

CMS exhausts or original Honda?
The seat is original Ken and the exhausts from CMS
