Doesn't look as nice as the 500 upper mount nut though does it?
I think as time went on Honda started to tidy things up, make them more modern looking. Just my theory.

You desperately need to get a 60's Honda mate ;D ;D
Isn't 17mm A/F the industry standard for a normal M10 nut?
Those big nuts looked the dogs b*llocks on my 1950's Silver Cross Pram.

I’ll pass Ash, anything pre 1967 I’m not interested in, they just don’t float my boat. Whilst I can appreciate them for what they are, I’m just think they look dated, like something pre war, like everyone couldn’t let go of an idea of how things were supposed to look. It was the introduction of the 750 that changed the game, the 500 refined that image, the Z1 took it another step further. To me that’s the golden age of motorcycle design, when they went monoshock is where I draw the line.
17mm may be the standard size but not for the Japs after they changed from JIS to the modified JIS, I think that made them look again at stuff like spanner sizes for nuts, 12mm for M8 threads, although firms like Yamaha and some others liked 13mm better, I think Honda looked at stuff like that and thought, let’s make it easier to identify the bolt size, why have M10 and M12 as 17mm AF, let’s make M10 14mm AF instead to differentiate them. Just my theory of course.
