Am I correct in assuming the KZ1300 "standard" was an European model only?
Nice pictures! |

Well, I lost that one I hear, but I still can't believe Honda changed that frame very much or even at all.
If nothing else it was interesting reading some articles on the 500, although they would ... |

You know, I would almost be willing to bet Honda did not change the frame at all for the CB500 twin, I would be optimistic that you will find the 500 tank will go right on your 450.
I can't believ ... |

Gosh, it doesn't look like it would take that much to restore this to a nice original condition, I suppose mufflers would be problem.
