Help needed to identify my CB500-4

<< < (2/21) > >>

Bryanj:
My list puts it about 5th month 1971

Oddjob:
First reg Aug 72 Bryan, most likely brought from Europe to complete an order as the K1 might have been all sold out at that time. My K1 is registered earlier than that. August would have been new reg day so dealer might have oversold and have shipped one in in desperation.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Nice original looking Horn - when was it last a runner?

Bryanj:
That 5th month is build so august reg would be about right with shipping, fotget that its 15 months so probably old stock in europe brought into uk by dealer

Definately K0 reflectors and seat lock, UK switches and it looks like somebody painted the space between the two white stipes in red.

The “white” stripes are actually chrome/silver and is a vinyl graphic not paint. Although not too difficult to produce 1 off’s with todays tech I’m not sure how this would be done in early 70’s.
