Title: CB750F tail light
Post by: Galea on June 03, 2012, 06:04:18 PM: Looking for a tail light for a 1977 CB750F Supersport but the ones I've seen so far are unlike this one. They are either mounted by two screws or else 4 screws near the centre. The one I have is mounted by 4 screws very near the corners and it has the following code: STANLEY RR501 SAEA 71 1ATPE181 1 E 11 3246 AU40L1A JAPAN R-169

Any help, better so with part number, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Joseph

Here's the relevant sections of the parts manuals.

Mick, if you do find yours, could you check the numbers on the lense for me?

Thanks,

Joseph

From the photo, numbers look the same. Will hunt it out of the boxes of parts tomorrow and let you know. Is it the full light unit or just the lense?

Post by: archmill on June 04, 2012, 09:30:45 PM: Yup Galea, absolutely identical. Yours and Micks numbers are the same as this one. Part number :- 33702371602 and mine is off a 1979 'T' reg F2, so it must have been one of the last ones made.
