It is a US Spec 1978 B3 , you are correct the silencers are Marvings , they fit a treat and sound great .Other mod it has had is a 2 into one manifold and a single Mikuni Carb fitted . Plan to rechrome the down pipes too

I wondered because the tank looks like it’s been finished as a B2, the striping is different on the B3. Mine’s a 78 B3 brought in from the US. I’m taking it to UK spec with the longer rear mudguard. I had a B1 from new in 76, sold it in 70 and also wanted another one. I’m looking forward to getting it on the road. I think I saw your’s advertise…[Read more]

Yes, it’s the same as mine, same colour, although I’m changing it to red. B3 was the 78 model year, it has quite a few changes compared to the B1 and B2. The B4 was 79 and has four pinstripes on the tank. I’m going to keep the twin carbs on mine, they will be fully reconditioned. Neither the B3 or 4 were sold in the UK.
Cheers,
Colin.

Hi Steve. Looks like a very nice US spec B2? The silencers seem to be the Italian ones from Marving, supplied by WeMoto? I have bought those to fit onto my 78 B3 currently being restored by Mavericks.
