H Reg K1?
Trigger:
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
Moorey:
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.

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.
AshimotoK0:
Oval rear lamp is correct for 1968-> very early 70's UK bikes and is often a good way to tell if bike is likely to be a genuine UK one (or JDM, as they fitted them for that market too)
