Help needed to identify my CB500-4
Trigger:
The right hand switch on a 500K0 in Holand was different than the UK 500 K0 which did not have the separate on / off in 1971.
Most members have never had a UK 500 K0 and will just go by parts books as they treat them like a bible with no real experience of 1971 500,s in the UK.
As i have already stated that, send your details to Honda UK and they can give you all the correct information on your VIN numbers. ;)
Oddjob:
HondaUK are quite frankly useless. They know nothing and rely on Japan for information, they couldn't even tell me a year of manufacture for a UK 500, just sent my cheque back with sorry no info.
B11sey:
I have emailed Honda UK (nothing to lose) and will let you know the outcome

Longest trip was through France,Spain to Morocco along coast to Marrakesh then to the oasis Ouarzazate and back along edge of the desert to Fez. 2 up the CB handled it all without any problems apart from getting through the crowds that formed in the towns

That's some trip. Packed with incidents no doubt. Never took the 500 overseas, just the Z650, Athens was the furthest I got.

When I was 17 and got my first 500-4 I decided to ride to Greece with my mates as we said we were all Greasers so it would be like going home spiritually ;D ;D ;D
Sad that isn't it, we didn't though, no money and jobs meant it was a non starter.
