  • For the M, A and B models the tuning was to E1 General Export specification
  • Metal spark plug caps were used on the M, A and B.
  • For the M and A models, the turn signals are similar to the general export model, except there is no reflector and no hole drilled to accept one (country specific part number 35601-34660 for the front, and 35603-33660 for the rear).
  • For the B model specifically, the smaller turn signals from the GS400 were used on the front (35601-44010), and for the rear the rear turn signals from the 1977 GT500 were used (35603-18411).
  • The 'dog bone' style rear tail lamp was carried forward from the A series for the B, however although the lens was the same as used for the E1 specification, the rear tail light assembly itself was a different part number series - perhaps due to different rear number plate sizes.
  • a front brake light switch was added to the B model
  • The headlamps included the city driving bulb mounted in the side of the main reflector and the left handlebar had a spring loaded 'pass' switch (57700-31610) seen in the photo to the right which was supplied by Mick Taylor.. This switch was fitted to M, A and B models.

  • The rear fender for the M was E1 standard, switching to the European specification being longer with a flared end for the A (63113-31601) and then to 63113-31700 for the B.
  • For the B a large rear mud flap was added (63331-31600).

  • As far as I know, the Swiss/Austrian model B GT750 was the only one to include a self retracting prop stand. To the right is a photo sent to me by Mick Taylor looking up at the underside of the prop stand mounting plate with the left side frame rail to the bottom of the photo. In this you can see the special spring (42421-31000) and special bolt (09119-10014) used for this.
