Help needed to identify my CB500-4

<< < (20/21) > >>

Bryanj:
I have had 2 registered as J

SteveD CB500K0:
My K0 is a J as well.
V5 says 1st April 1971.

Oddly I think that if the dvla don’t give me my old reg back on my L reg that will also go back to a K as they appear to use the date of manufacture instead of the date of first registration if that’s known.

I hoping they will let me keep my old reg though as I have the V5 just not a V5C and I’ve already had the rear plate made in reverse engraved perspex.

Yea 'J' would have been correct if the bike had been UK registered in early 1971.

It's interesting that the bike in question on this post pre-dates the factory shift mechanism etc.modifications. I would have thought that if Honda UK only reviewed the bike in early '72, by that time any K0 UK spec bikes imported and specced for UK would have VIN's well beyond that modification. The Service Bulletin was issued in 7/71.

I know that some JDM models had the UK style switch. It's evident at 0:35 in this video. This video was a great find for reference for my 250 JDM. JDM 500's are always identified by the red speed warning light in the top yoke nut.

DVLA have registered my 500k2 as a 'K' reg even though it was a December 72 bike (US title and VJMC evidence was provided) - should have been 'L' reg. My original 500K1 was August 72 and was ABA 953L
