Nothing to do with that whatsoever...in fact pre all of the #@%$ and energy crisis, Covid, wars etc troubles. the UK bikes were at more of a premium than they are now. Trigger and Woodside on here both sold CB500K0 UK bikes for £10k .. never seen a 500/4 from other markets achieve anything near that.

You - must - be - jo - king... with that... that... thing?! A grip you can buy in just any hardware store. And there aren't even two of them, to offer at least some symmetry. Compare that to the endless, elegant, grab rail on the international deluxe version of the CB500. Look how nicely it follows and accentuates the line of the seat. It's... royal... sexy too; your hand can glide over it, fiddle it all over. Female passengers with inquisitive fingers like that, you know.
Practical too. I've seen this wonderful rail accomodate not to big leather bags... on both sides, mind you, where as that... that thing... words fail me... the horror, the horror!!

Each to his own Delta, personaly i think the grab bar is an abomination purely for pillion passengers to hold onto and i dont do those

It's not as nice as the 550F one, far too low as well, passengers would have their fingers up against the mudguard. The 550F one fits the 500 great, perfect in fact, plus it holds the indicators as well making them easier to see.

No, no, on the contrary, both seat and grabrail are in my - as always - humble opinion the most elegant of the CB500/550 series. The CB550F one is far to 'hooked upwards'. The 84101-323-671 grabrail is more or less a continuation of that swift striping only the K2 tanks have, where as the paint scheme of previous models... but maybe I'd better be silent... All I can say, is that the old paint scheme is as blunt as that hardware shop grip. ;)
