Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks Julie, I agree the bars in the photos clearly look higher than the UK ones even in the schematic sketches they look unlike the UK bars.
Seabeowner:
These are pictures of my USA K0 as I believe Honda installed it:
Ignore The small wire loom going near the cable in the 2nd picture. This was a standard USA mod where they raised the ignition switch to the bars.
I have three new clutch cables:
Andy Cepok UK type: 1.03m
DS UK type: 1.07m
22870-323-020 still in bag that I think is USA type: 1.12m
I also have a note saying UK type should be 0.99m (3ft 3in)
You can also see the throttle cable passing the other way through the gap above the coils.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That is an interesting photo as though the throttle cables are on the left side of the frame they are not visible as routing between the clock bracket.
The clutch cable route is the one I will follow as it's how it was when I bought the bike.
Seabeowner:
Just to add the pics are with US bars. I have now fitted UK bars and the new cable follows the same route...I think.
Oddjob:
Bars genuine or copy Ted? Sat with the dots aligned?
