CB500K or CB500T: start with the model code
There are two clear paths through this CB500 catalog. CB500K parts are grouped for the 1971–1973 model tags, while the CB500T Twin page covers the 1975 and 1976 tags. Rather than treating “CB500” as a complete fitment description, first identify the K or T designation and the year on your bike. The family results can include parts listed for either group, and a part may be present here because it matches just one model and year.
CB500K parts, 1971–1973
CB500T Twin parts, 1975–1976
Read each product application
Once you have chosen your model page, select the year in the bike selector and browse the appropriate engine, brake, fuel or electrical category. Check the model and year list on a part before buying, and compare an OEM or reference number when the listing supplies one. Dimensions and included quantity can matter as much as the name on a box. If a product title mentions a broad CB500 but its fitment details do not clearly cover your K or T model, ask our parts team to help confirm the correct listing.
