Here are the oil pipes after cleaning. Regarding the distinction list they seem to be correct to the VIN.

Somehow strange golden color?

Will have to buy a rear inner fender.
Part number is 80105-300-000 for KO (010 for K1 and 341-000 for K2)

Are there any visual differences? Where would you buy?

And: whats the best way to get it out?

Cheers, Uli (Leonberg, Germany)

Any gross amounts of oil or debris, i gently wash the hoses in parts washer.  then i use a towel to squeeze dry the fabric.  i then gently use compressed air, but very carefully low pressure, as direct high pressure can disrupt and even tear the fabric.  (appears you may already have some of the webbed fabric degrading.)  then i use aerosol brake cleaner for final clean of the lines, again squeeze dry with a towel, followed by gentle low pressure air dry.  then i mask off all the metal and spray on the rubberized coating in 3, 4 or 5 light coats.  since your lines are sun bleached, they will probably soak up a fair amount of the aerosol rubber coating.  (after the fabric is dry, before i mask off the ferrules, i always wear latex disposable gloves so any oils, etc from my hands don't contaminate my clean parts, that way the rubberized aerosol will have best possible clean surface.)

the plastic sub fender, just push one side into center of frame at the same time sliding the sub fender downward a little bit.  should come right out.  
i've been happy with the Yamiya sub fenders. i have not seen the Vic World sub fenders that JT Marks sells, i'm sure they are good.

Dismantled, cleaned and de-rusted the headlamp in my little ultrasnic cleaner.
Thought, I may have to re-chrome it but it became quite OK.

Got some parts back from re- chroming.

Yes, maybe slightly too good looking at the brake lever.

In came the short neck brake lines. Thank you, Kerry!

Here to compare with genuine brake line (on top)

Very good chroming!! ;)
But beware, the adjustment screw is not good (no cruciform) and optics if final is mounted upside down...

Not certain if I understand what you wrote with that adj. screw.

That headlight came from an early diecast, parts book shows a cross head screw. I assume its correct.



That headlight ring is not re-chromed.
I just cleaned and de-rusted it.

Inside shot of the oil filter case the bike came with.

I always thought the version with fins are strengthened inside?

i do believe what you have there is the very first version of the "new (finned) oil the filter case marked with the numeral "2" stamped on the top surface between the center vanes," as noted in Honda Service Bulletin #13, 1/26/70. 

these first cases did not have reinforcement webbing.

the oil filter bolt should measure 12 mm across the flats.
