Great pic Dave.  I think I will look him up to shoot my bike soon...If not I also have a buddy who does photo work on the side.

No fair...the cafes are ganging up on me...FOUL... ;D

I hardly think of my bike as "foul."   ;)



Anyhow, the cafe fans are all going to split votes, leaving your restoration to walk away with the win.

Here are a few more pics. Keep in mind this K4 has original paint. Top of the tank has faded a little, but the tank itself and decals were perfect. No dents or scratches and just a really cool original piece which I plan to keep that way. I did all the chrome over by a plater near me. I polished the forks and engine covers to remove oxidation, etc. The motor is original and has not been broke into and runs great. Installed tapered in the steering head and put some OEM bars back on as the PO had risers. Wish I could get the pics larger, but you will have to click on it to enlarge it. This will be an uphill race as this K4 battles with those beautiful cafes in the running. And I am not embarassed to say you cafe guys sure put a lot more into yours than I did here...so may I say my hat is off to you all. Very nice...

Don't hate on the black rims Sammy..  ;D Come into the 2000's and embrace the black wheels, ha ha.

I don't like white leather racing suits, but would still vote for you.
Besides you are only one vote... :P

I don't like BLACK PAINTED RIMS

FYI, no paint here -- they're anodized lightweight aluminum supermoto rims made by Buchanan.

Take care,

Geez Sammy, when you started riding motorcycles, they ALL had painted rims! :D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
