501, an American-made model released in 2017; the 501-1995 was not rolled out in Japan In contrast, the 501-2546 had a relatively large rollout in Japan. The use of Corn Denim Company stain and oak mill fabric and vintage-like details and others have taken over the 501-1995; the White Oak plant closed at the end of 2017. This is likely to be the last 501 using White Oak factory fabric.
The design of the flasher is also very different from the usual 501.
