K side cover interchangability
« on: February 16, 2006, 07:46:13 AM »
Does anyone know if the side covers for K1, K2 or K3 will fit a K4? Which one(s)?

According to the parts book i hold K1-K4 are all the same part numbers with different colour codes

Agree with Bryan and from personal experience, the K2, K3, K4, K5, K6 sidcovers are ALL interchangeable. Ive never had a K1 cover so cant comment.
Good luck,

The K1 badges are different than the others - and I'm pretty sure that all the badges are expensive.

The K1 and K2 had different badges but the badge attachement points are the same for all years so whatever cover/badge combinations you get they will all fit.

Are badges still available? (source?)
From the posts, I'm assuming K1 - K2 badges are the same, and K3 - K4 are the same. Correct?

I think I've seen Honda badges here in the past but they sure aren't there today:
