Thread: correct brakelever for a K1?

I sold off both my K2's and recently picked up a K1 to clean up. It has Black plastic brakelevers. I immediately thought that maybe they were jsut aftermarket, but after seeing a few claimed original bikes I noticed they had the black plastic as well. Anyone know if these are in fact correct for the bike?
Of course one of them is broken, so I am will need a replacment

Heres the bike, It does have a hole in the lower left side of the tank, and missing a few little realtivly easy parts to get. But its pretty nice condition overal, its just dirt on it, frame only has a few blemishis in the paint shell clean up nicely!

Thats a tough question to answer, everybodies perception of "Decent" will vary. I only ever look at bikes that are nearly complete and only missing little things if any and see them in the 500-1000 range most of the time.



Nobody knows about the brake levers??????

They are original to that bike, it is a 69. What is the vin number?

147978 oh and yes I am an idiot! I just looked at the z50 id page and I actually read it all this time.....black plastic levers

What keeps throwing me off is the Honda dealer here in town. He's old school actually has a '69 of his own. His answer to me "Hondas NEVER came with black plastic levers....ever!!!" But he also told me that if I did not have the battery hooked up when I put the light bulb I bought from him for my z50K2 that it would blow the bulb, when I told him that it was a 70-71 and they did not come with batteries, well the conversation turned ugly....till the book came out
