The air box did not have the hood, this hood was then added to France, after E-102XXXX it seems to me...
It is just a part added and glued and not molded in a single part like the one that is on the front.
My air box has no hood behind.

Maybe its 19210 as per parts book.
So do US diecast after 19210 have that intake?

I do not know for the US.. I speak just for the French market I have a friend who has a K0 after 1020000 and there is not the hood behind ...

I say that you must start from a matte black because if you load a little it will become satin, whereas if you leave a satin and you load a little it will become too shiny .....

Loading = clear coat?

[4pots1969]

Loading = clear coat?

load = a good layer (thickness)

My English has me !!!

Example : this top bridge repro Yamiya is still too shiny for me...

Never heard the oil filter house, or for that matters sake the 2 to 3 hole air filter case were service replacements parts, just like carburettor slides! My air filter is still a severe cracked 2 hole. Kept together by broad red tape. Come spring it will be 47 years. Had at the time gone less than 8000 km.

Erling,   Where did you see it and read it?

[Sgt.Pinback]

I asked if the 2 hole case was replaced via service bulletin just as the carbs or the oil filter case. Later was replaced like mine is.

Here is the genuine lower air box of #1016050.
 A German K0.

Has both hoods so this is not the change with 19210 but the German/France/Dutch speciality as said by Mr. HONDASAN.

That red air box shown above with the two hoods was given to me by the seller of #1983 but oviously is not the genuine box of that bike.

Thanks for all the input.

Now waiting for Kerry´s box to be painted.

Looks like your Triple Tree unicorn is in shiny black?? There it is not correct... normally it should be in satin black...    It is better to start from a matte black to obtain a satin black.

There you aimed right in the center !! 

[Sgt.Pinback]

Thank you.

Three times thin matt + two times thin clear coat onto the satin gloss balck did it  

[Sgt.Pinback]

Only to pass the German MOT (TÜV) I have to have a speedo in km/h.

Marcel from CB750faces.com had it in his hands.
The face is still the genuine one, otherwise its restored by him including new filling.

Engine is ready to be put into the frame.

Here is the outer clutch cover.

Putted it into the ultra sionic with some de-rust stuff. Before and after.

Its the heavy version, without piant inside.
