That's what was on the side panels when I got it, they are the original emblems

"Widget" threw me off...I believe you meant Wirges. Those KH500 badges are odd on your '74 since they are of '76 vintage...? Unless you bought this bike direct from a dealer when new, my guess is someone replaced either the badges or the side covers themselves. Good luck on your sale...and your upcoming Triumph!

Yes Wirges :)
Originally this was a Barn find, it had been sat 22 years, I did a restoration photo story on here last year and had some excellent support from members, I will miss the old gal but my passion has been and so I guess always will be racing, I am an instructor at mid Ohio track and others

The Bike was Green when I first got it :D

The fork ears are what the headlights bolt to. Specifically where the ear mounts to the round tube that the forks slide thru.
