!975 rear turn signal color?

[katmol]

The 1975 XS650 I bought a couple of weeks ago has red rear turn signals lens. I was looking on eBay for some stock amber color ones and there seems to be several listings for red one. Was red the factory color on the 1975 rear lens?

Thanks.

A good question. I'm curious as well.

I recall all of our Hondas from the `70s had amber lenses. Never heard of any federal or state regs on this. My stock XS1B's are red.

But, if you grind thru 650Skull's model ID thread, it seems that both red and amber were used up to 1975-1976:

The one '75 that I have been around came with red turn signals. It was a second owner bike and mostly original bike.
