Ahh... and seat cover is different to K3.

BTW, it's missing the side indicators on the fork.

Also looks like USA import Front & rear guards are different than UK bike. Also Uli K3 CB350 never sold in the UK only the K4. We never got the B4 model either that you got in Germany with front disc brake ...real shame that.

Here is a Candy Bacchus Olive UK one ..note front & rear guards. Just got one of those K4 front guards NOS from Germany ...really rare find that one thanks to heads up from a member on here.

Thats what I have seen last year on Glemseck 101 event.

I know there is a corner in hell for those laddies that put srambler tyres on streetbikes.

I've got them but to be honest I think the bike looks better without, I've also sourced a smaller rear light from a CB500 as the US ones are mahoosive!

Just personal preference I guess.

Welcome - lovely bike. My first road bike was 71 k3 - great memories!

My 3 CB250/350's will look like this ....one day! When I get them built in the same colours. Note the cool reflector on the '69 USA K1 (never sold here). I have the reflector but they are mega rare !

Plus the old kid Ashimoto's 71 250K3 in circa 1974 (note G5 pipes). Had a 70 CB250K2 and 73 Cb350K4 but sadly no pics.

Here are library pics of how  my 'three' will look:

Welcome aboard Shep. I'm amazed there are any K4's still to be had as the Classic Racer boys just love those things. Not sure why they picked on just the K4 but those things can be made scary quick. If you fancy upping the power output there is all sorts of gear available from companies like Drixton and many others.

They will be lovely bikes when your done with them Ash. Is that a recent picture of you, I had you much older than that. ;D ;D

PS. Any sign of the Edward Turner book Ash?
