Built in 75 would be a 76 model so K6, I have the US ID book if you want to post the engine/frame numbers.
For parts try www.ebay.com as thats the US site, most sellers will ship to UK if asked BUT the american post office only does airmail now so it can be a bit expensive, or try posting on our sister site www.sohc4.net they are a good bunch and helpful 10068

Where's My Old Bike? / Re: 1972 CB500/4 NGK62L« on: September 17, 2008, 02:04:04 PM »
Swansea say its "Unlicenced" not sorn'ed which suggests it hasn't been taxed since before the sorn regs came in, but as its still on there records it aint been declared scrapped either so its probably lurking in a shed somewhere awaiting inspiration

I know DS found a few new ones about 4-5 years ago but they probably all gone, i know i have a box of "assorted" ones but loath to get rid of any due to shed full of projects, given time and pressure from the bank i might part with a set of large gauges as on 550

450 is identical but no trip knob all the others are the bigger clocks, for 550 clocks which will fit look on ebay.com instead of .co.uk BUT USPS recently dropped surface postage so everything goes airmail and costs more

OK they aint as good as todays bikes but for their time were better than adequate.
rear drums tend to rust and go oval and front pivots sieze allong with pistons, some say the goodriche brake hoses make a difference but basicaly a well maintained system should have the front forks nearly bottoming but wont squeel the tyre 10079
