There are these weird blinkers that I'm not sure are original.
Anyone seen these before?

NOT original

I thought so. But since I'm more used to the European models, I was in doubt.

Thanks

...for a u.s. model. I may be mistaken but I am thinking those came on German market bikes.

yes german and maybe other countries too.

Original German bike.

In order to legalize motor vehicles imported from one country to another, a lot of times the lights have to be changed. I had to do this on my 1970 Mercedes 280SL, when I brought it to the U.S. from Germany

Does the serial number on the frame or engine have a 'G' in it by chance ?

I'll have a look, but it has miles in stead of km, so it's a us model.

Don't be too quick to decide it's a US model based on the speedometer, which can be swapped out in just a few minutes. The VIN will tell the tale.

I have seen European CB750 K0 with that one. I think on a CB450 too. German model feels familiar.
Edit: It must been a German model I saw here.

Exclusively on German type bikes. Consult parts lists http://www.honda4fun.com/materiale-documentazione-tecnica/parts-list/parts-list-cb750 Looking at the pic I doubt it's OEM. Could well be aftermarket.

If they're in good shape, would you sell them? Or trade for 4 nice North American versions?

Today I had a chance to look at plenty German models on Mobile.de

And as I expected, they all have the same taillight and blinkers.
