Help needed to identify my CB500-4

<< < (4/21) > >>

Trigger:
If you contact Honda UK and give them all the details, they will tell you what Honda dealer in the UK they suppled the bike to and the date .
Imported 500K0,s never came with that type of right hand switch gear, only the UK

Oddjob:
Actually only the US got a different right hand switchgear on the K0, the European countries got the same as the UK one, it's in the parts book.

The only difference I can think of off the top of my head that some European countries got was a slightly different airbox, which had a snorkel fitted over the top of the airbox. To suit this snorkel the carbs were changed so it ran with smaller jets, not 100% sure but Germany and maybe Holland comes to mind.

Check the carb body on No4 cylinder, on the flange will be a number stamped into the body, 623B is the standard carb for a 500, if that's different then it's a definite Euro bike.

Trigger:
Don't believe the parts book as there are many mistakes, look at the wiring diagram for the different switches between the 500K0 UK and europe  ;)

B11sey:
Great  looking bike. I’ll be pleased if mine ends up half as good as that.
Impressively tidy workshop as well :)

Seabeowner:
All the US bikes had a vin plate up front. I only see the Made in Japan, so that would make it almost certainly Europe. Anyone know why Europe got K0s, but UK got next to none.
