The difference between US and UK spec

(1/3) > >>

p@ul:
Hi all, my CB750 f2 is US spec (see pic below) What is the difference between US and UK spec ?



My seat isn't standard so ignor that, as far as i can tell looking at some UK spec bikes on here the main difference are the handle bars, switch gear and maybe the rear light position. Although why would the US bike have its rear light sat higher than the UK bike ? (look at uk pete's bike).
The rest of the bike looks pretty much the same to me.

Any ideas where i can get hold of the side seat strips from ?

Cheers Paul.

UK Pete:
Yes you are right about rear light, the uk one is lower and has a different mounting plate , as well as the tail piece on the uk bike has a black plastic panel in fill with a honda badge on
The chrome side rails are different but only where the indicators mount ,if you look at a uk bike the indicators are at the rear
Handle bars and left hand switch gear, headlight and tail light lens ,are slightly different , also the ignition switch on some of the usa models have the steering lock incorporated, where the uk has a seperate key operated lock on the steering head
There are many small differences in usa models if you look at the parts manual, but they are really small and probably go unoticed

Thanks Pete, interesting point on the steering lock. I was looking for the lock on the headstock until i found it on the ignition barrell  ;D  and now you've mention the other bits and bobs i can see them.

Any takers on the seat strip, i believe this might be an ask to far  ???

Bryanj:
Main switch difference is because US had to have the headlamp on all the time and from my memory all the UK ones had the steering lock on the ignition barell as well

Doesn't the British version have a space for a picnic hamper, umbrella stand, shotgun rack and somewhere to keep one's champagne cool?
