Marcel,
Yes, this is the same horn as a sandcast LH horn should be. The drain hole and wire exit are correct. This is also the same horn as fitted to the early CL450s  ;) KP

CL450 HORN


For my 737 i purchased a NOS for Honda cb450, perfect!

More trivia.....
Early CB250  twins used a horn with a "gray" body, but different stay.
The horn from a 350/4 honda is effectively a left hand sandcast horn (black body, chrome cover with drain hole at the bottom and cable exit at upper left) but again with a different stay - replace the 350 stay with a 750 one  to convert.
These at least provide ways of re-creating a left side horn if missing.

As per Steve's previous message, all the left hand horn sandcasts I have seen have black body / black sheath. This includes my two bikes (#'s 302 and 1120), and the NOS left side horn I have.
Anything else is either one of those mythically very rare factory fitted ones, or perhaps not original to the bike. :-\

Cheers - Chris R

Could someone confirm or not my observation, that K0 Horn had no cast marks in the places showed in the pictures,  and K1-K6 had these marks?

Thanks.
