I wonder... are these products known in England? https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/1216642803/honda-cb500-vier-1977-motorfiets-vintage
Laverda Dave:
We have similar over here. I have bought a few over the years but be warned, DONT put them outside and especially in sunlight as they will fade to nothing, how do I know this............. ::)
These cheap signs are not VE as the old vintage signs are but are manufactured using a printing process that is not light fast so they fade in sunlight. There are some companies that do manufacture light fast signs but you will need to ask at the point of sale, they will also be more expensive.
Nice decoration though in any man cave 8)

I managed to snaffle a couple of the genuine Honda diagrams for the CB500, one was of the lubrication system in the engine and I can't remember what the other was now. They were in my shed for years until the roof leaked and being made of laminated cardboard they just dissolved. Wish I'd kept them in the loft now, they'd be worth a few bob.
Erny:
Uff, that's pity. Wish to have them on the wall of my garage too! Never seen them on sale... Must be rare
Oddjob:
I seem to recall they were blown up versions of the diagrams in the genuine Honda manual. Surrounded by a border and a large Honda symbol.
Yeah, they were, one was an exploded diagram of the engine as shown on page 19 and the other of the lubrication system on page 36.
They may be available if they are sold off when a store closes.
Similar to this but mounted on very thick cardboard and laminated.
