A bit like this guy trying to sell a K2 as a K1 and then states it is "Re advertised due to time waster". I think he is the time waster, advertising the wrong bike >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CB750-K1-1971-MANUFACTURED-BUT-REGISTERED-1972-USA-IMPORT/113239992259?hash=item1a5da127c3:g:0DUAAOSwefxbiXzd

I sent him a message pointing out his errors. I received this reply.


Hi thanks for message, bought it as a K1 due to when it was manufactured however now you have messaged me I have checked via the internet and I now realise my mistake. Will change listing when I get home tonight.

 Cynical me doesn't think it will alter looking at the bids on it.

Isn't that The England light and not the one fit on USA models.
Do you know something Moorey, I'm not sure. But, I am sure I have seen the more rounded type on USA bikes. We need Peter and Mick, who both have USA K1's to let us know what they have fitted and then find someone with a UK K1 to see what's on theirs. The only person I know with a UK K1 is Paul Gledhill but I'm not sure if he had a rear light in all the boxes of bits he got with his restoration project. A UK K1 is a very, very rare bike, so there's not many around to compare with.

When you look through the parts lists the one for sale has the correct rear light for USA and other models other than England Germany and Holland. Your pic would seem to be for England only. The German and Holland lights been different again.
Why didn't they just have one style back light, it would be less confusing. But I'm sure you are correct and the bike for sale has the correct light fitted, it just doesn't look right to me though.

It does seem strange these days but maybe it was to do with suiting local laws in some way. Even as late as the Fs they had different rear lights and indicators for different countries.

The trouble is they are selling to those who don't know and are trying to screw every penny out of the job. Why else would be even mention K1. Amazing how many will buy without doing any sort of homework and just believe som ething they are told by the seller simply because a item is fashionable at the time. When the arse drops out of this market which it will in time, they will simply move on to the next money maker. The upside been plenty about for the true enthusiast.

Even though that self proclaimed expert is up his own arse he does specify it's all on USA models.

 Puig Universal screen before modification.

After. Just requires reshaping the bottom a little and new holes drilling.

As you can see it nicely clears the trip knob and it does rest against the clocks, I've just put a little stick on foam rubber between to stop any marking of screen or clocks. It works well.

You are obviously wrong as they say.
PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, THESE CABLES ARE AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENTS MADE TO REPLICATE THE ORIGINAL PART.   ;)
