Uk rear light.

Green1:
The US K1 rear light isn't huge are you sure your not thinking of the US K2 onwards light?

Arch stanton:
 Ah this is it you see. I don't fully understand the intricacies of the back light thing. I know some CB750k,s had the small rounder tail light same as my 67 CD175 sloper. Some have the standard squarer ubiquitous Honda tail light. Then there are those Horrendous huge US jobbies. But I don't know which has which. Did all models in the US have the big lights? Or was that only required in certain states?
I'm thinking this could be a bit of a minefield.
I have access to a pile of brackets which have come off US bikes. So I think I will have to go & do some measuring. As they mostly look the same but the bolt holes for the tail light
Are slightly differently spaced.

My General Export model came with a back light the size of a lunchbox, probably the same as the US models.

As it rubbed on the carrier I swapped it for a new 500 one I got on eBay.

The holes don’t quite line up by a couple of mm, but as it’s rubber mounted you need to look very closely to notice.

The 500 light isn’t right for the model, but I have kept the original, and it looks right.

The US 750k1 rear light is approximately 5" wide x 3 1/2" tall
My US 550 is the same as the US750k2 onwards and that is 7" wide x 4" tall
