'Preserve Nature Blah Blah' stickers. What year were they introduced?

(1/3) > >>

AshimotoK0:
I got two different colurs of these in a 'decal' kit from Yamiya for the 750K0 but I don't believe that the K0 was ever fitted with the fuel tank 'Preserve Nature' sticker. The only bike I own which I think should have one is my '75 400F. Most of my bikes are '69's but I have  '71 CB175 & 500K0, which I assume never had the sticker? Anyone know when they were introduced? I don't think the original sticker on my Varnish Blue 400/4 tank was clear coated over.

Piki:
I do not know when were introduced but I think that  750 K0 models not cames with "remember/preserve" decal, I have kit for that model without that decal..........

Chris400F:
Parts list for the 500 shows both K0 and K1 had a sticker.
Parts list for the 750 shows K1 and K2 had the sticker but not the version identified only as CB750 (assume K0).
In both cases several stickers are listed, use according to market.
I'm sure I read somewhere (maybe on here, but can't find it) that stickers / decals such as these were not clear coated over as they were market-specific so applied afterwards.

And just to muddy the water a bit more, the book shows, for both the K1 and K2 the same part number with 'A' or 'B' after it,  I assume this is the black or white sticker, and 3 different numbers for different markets, one covers Germany and Holland (German, Dutch or both?), one is for France and the other must be the English language one which is used in all the other markets.

I have seen a picture of an allegedly original US gold bike with a black sticker, I have tried black and white on my blue K1  but have gone for black as it is less shouty.

I do, of course, preserve nature at all times, as the sticker says I must.

The 'A' and 'B' suffix sounds logical. I looked again at the 500 Parts List and this gives more info (parts 31, 32, 33 are the stickers).
