Topic: Red rear turn signals on a 750 K0?

[camelman]

The rear turn signals on this bike look like they are red.  Is this just an aftermarket thing, or did some of these come from the factory like this?  I thought all side marker lights in the USA had to be amber starting in the 1960s or so.

IIRC, Euro and JDM bikes had the red signals.

I don't know of any country that uses red signals.

In the US the rear signals may legally be red or amber. 
I have noticed the rear signals on the 75 and earlier XS650's are red.

I don't think Honda ever used red signals on the 750, at least in the US.
However, red aftermarket lenses are easily available.

For the 69-70-71 CB750 Japanese market bikes, Honda offered both red (33600-300-000) and amber (33402-268-671) rear turn signal lenses. Beginning with the CB750 K2, the red lens is deleted with only the amber lens remaining. This explains why you see K0-K1 JDM bikes having both of these turn signal colors.

Thanks Hino.  You sound like my dad talking about old Porsches
