Many thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated and no doubt it won't be long before I'll be picking your brains again.

CB500/550 / Which model of CB500 Four do I have?

« on: May 12, 2020, 01:20:11 AM »

Just starting work on a CB500 Four I have owned since about 1980 but which has been off the road for about the last 25 yrs. Could anyone please help with the model number so I can order required parts. Is this what is now known as K0? First registered in 1972, the chassis number is 1035XXX, the engine number 1035XXX, colour black as per V5C and was black when I bought it in 1980. I have always known it as purely CB500 Four - no recollection of K anything but parts lists now seem to use designation K0 if I'm not mistaken. Seems to be described as 'general export' model rather than 'England' model in one of the parts lists I've read. I would appreciate any guidance.

Hi all. I have a 1972 CB500 Four which hasn't been on the road for about 25 years and needs a lot of work doing on it. I'm ashamed to say its been in my garage all that time so it's my own fault it's been neglected. Being in my 70's it is probably going to take some time and probably a lot of advice to get it going.
