I assure you all it was brand new, it has been in my possession for about 25 years and most definitely wasn't resprayed or refurbished. I was surprised by the tank lining but wasn't complaining, it was as stated, in perfect condition. About 25 years ago I was incredibly lucky enough to buy a job lot of brand new bagged 500/4 parts that came from a garage clearance after a dealer went bust. I literally built an almost brand new bike, but already had a decent tank so kept this one as spare. It was the sort of thing you can only dream about.
And the rear mudguard was CB 500 too.
Btw what does "NOS" mean?

The UK 500 rear mudguard did not have the number 341 stamped on it, the 341 in that style mudguard relates to the UK CB750 K2.
I had a NOS 500 tank that I fitted to a UK,500 K0 that had no lining, was over sprayed on the underside.

Why are you sorry Oddjob, you are correct and I had forgot about the indicator wire tabs did not come on the rear guard .
