Cb500 Four Jade Green paint ?

<< < (4/6) > >>

Seabeowner:
There were a number of variations of ear on the 550s with welded on threaded section for then screwing on indicator extension stubs. This was done prior to chroming, obviously new parts don't need welding.
There were male and female thread versions over the models. The only model AFAIK that had the  a longer welded stub and indicators mounted directly on the ear without an screw on extension stub was the later 550K3s and I think maybe only the US versions in any number.
And of course early US 550s had the indicators mounted on the ear portion itself as in the 500 shown.
The green is growing on me and wonder if it was UK available in 1974 whether I would have chosen it.
Apologies to Mart for the thread hack.

Hi, the one shown is for 1977 F2. And yes, apologies for straying of topic.

Sesman:
Hi, Ken.

Yes, totally correct. Iv’e got a set of them too…i must have a headlamp ear obsession.

Laverdaroo:
Any of you want to part with a pair? theyre to be modified so doesnt make much difference on condition although need to be dent free if poss.



Asking for a friend :D 8)

Soz, I forgot Ken ;D

A pair of ears, I've had it with ebay and Hermes can get stuffed as well, they've been nothing but hassle getting that replacement frame down to me from my nephew after he collected it from Phil a while ago. Its been lost for 10 days but after a seriouse hissy fit at them on the phone this morning I had some info and I've located it in a petrol station 'drop off' point in Barnsley of all places after it was dropped at the depot by my nephew in Wakefirld!  WTAF????? >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
where it stayed at the back of the shop because somebody said it was too heavy to lift and pulled the H&S card so left it on the shelf. Even though it's within their 15kg limit and it has already gone from Wake'y to Barnsley. And it was paid for, insured, next day..........that was two weeks ago!


Sorry rant over. .........Basically if I can source most of what I need on here then I will because I'm sick of getting hidden charges or just simply f*ckwittery thrown in at the last minute or by UK customs Border Nazi's taking the piss. There seems to be a weekday rule and a friday afternoon rule where they just think of a number and stick it on as an invoice but don't tell you until they've had it for a week or two and then try the storage charge number on you......"Nope, send it back then" has been the reply on several occasions and they do or simply deliver it anyway. I'm on a 70-30% success rate but if you need it, you need it so have to cough up. In short, if I can benefit somebody on here I'd rather do that and buy their parts, I'm better off, they reduce their shiney pile to allow for more hoarding room and all the folk on here aren't a bunch of swines happy to milk you dry!

I hope ;) ;D
