I have a set of pannels off a 78 550k3 that was black, originally came with Honda transfers on the tank and stickers on sidepannels with 'supplied by' stickers from a dealer in little leaver, Bolton. I'm doubtfull as to it being a respray so I think black was an original coulor.

Log book states black but that could have been changed but as far as I am aware these are the Honda details

They did exist in black, back in 1978 I had a Black K3.

On returning to the K3 ownership I found myself with the Brown version, but I kept hankering back for a black one ('my first love', as they say...)
- I couldn't find a code for Excel Black either, but I came across a guy near Cirencester who did me a fine spray job, including some excellent hand painted pinstripes instead of tank decals.
