I suspect Honda tooled-up for the shorter Police seat base (which is base on the early K0/K1 seat pattern) and carried the design through from K0 to the later models to avoid having to adjust existing stock. Just my theory anyway.

Trigger:
Did Honda assemble any CB750 police bikes or was it done via a third party with Honda supplying the parts.

I know that Honda police bikes in the UK were done by Honda Dealerships or third party contracts.
All the BMW police bike were converted by Mottingham Motorcycles in the 70's / 80's. And all the dominos pizza Honda's were converted and sold by Grafton Motorcycles in wolverton. Never found out who did the Honda CD250 police bikes. We have one but, it was sold to the police, never converted or used by them.
 

royhall:
Fantastic detail work James, puts the rest of us to shame. Looking at the amount of NOS on the bike (especially electrics) you must spend many hours searching for bits.

Laverda Dave:
Fantastic work as always James. Are you going to keep this one due to it being so unusual?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That's a super looking build is the seat being different anything to do with where the Police VHF Radio Handset  was mounted or was that stuff behind the seat ?
