The difference between US and UK spec

<< < (2/3) > >>

Spitfire:
The grab rail and rear light holder on your bike appear to be CB750F1 items, the F2 had it's rear indicators attached to the rear light holder whereas the F1 has them mounted on the chrome rails, the indicators themselves are F2, the seat hump also looks like an F1 item.

Here's my F1 for comparison

Hi
There are 3 diffrent types/styles of indicators or WINKER as Honda call them in the parts book.
2 Seat humps types, 2 Bumper Rear's (chrome rail) 2 fender's mudguards.
and there are 3 taillights that are fitted to the F2.
The diffrents for the lights is the local regs for where the bike is sold/ imported.
I all so note your bars/switches mirrors have been changed.
Seat strips are hard to find that are not damaged if you find some get them.
I think to much time reading the parts book by me, any way you have a nice bike there which is all that matters.

US spec F2's did keep the F1 style rear indicators mounted to the chrome rail arrangement (but with larger winkers of course).
In my view a more stylish arrangement, and better too due to the UK rear lamp bracket not being man enough to carry the weight of the winkers as well as the rear light and number plate - the UK lamp bracket cracks eventaully and eventually falls off taking the rear light, winkers and number plate with it - it happened to me somewhere between Lincoln and Sheffield back in '83 (never did find the missing bits!), and  every other UK rear bracket I have found since has been cracked / re-welded below the top two mountiong nuts, and around the lower one.

Yes you are spot on i have had 2 brake on me, i got our workshops to make up a bracket from stronger stuff and never had the thing brake again.
