Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC.
You have one very beautiful bike. I wish my next one i build comes out as good as your ;)
What a beautiful bike! My new August 1972 500k1 was black too - 40,000 fun and trouble free miles. I'm about to start my 500k2 engine rebuild having no experience of working on the 500 engine as it was so reliable! It was that good after 3 years that I only lost about £120 when part ex'ing for my Z1B (still got the receipt for the Z1 transaction upstairs)

Got to say the ripple in the seat cover would bug the hell out of me, OCD kicking in I suppose ;D ;D ;D

If it's the same bike I a thinking of it has a Genuine Honda NOS seat fitted.
I have seen a couple of Genuine NOS seats though and they don't seem to have the raised padding in the panels, like you particularly see on the early USA bikes, which is kind of surprising.
I got mine from David Silver and I think it was a dealer take off but it definitely looks different to the NOS 'spare part' ones I have seen.
