OK, spent the last two days doing about 300 miles on this bike. The only hiccup appears to be a balky neutral switch. I tested this unit when I first assembled the engine, but all I checked was that I had ground when in neutral. Guess I should have checked ALL operating modes... The light does come on in neutral; it goes out switching to 1st - and promptly comes back on again! It goes out going into 2nd and may (or may not) come on again. Over time, it just goes on and off for no discernible reason, however all symptoms are directly related to shifting and do not appear to be caused by a short or grounding elsewhere. I'm going to wait until the next oil change and swap it out then. Other than that - it rides like a brand new bike! I'm so pleased with this. Today, I got my brother-in-law to pilot this one while I rode my other K1 and we did a tour around the big lake (Winnipesaukee). We ran into a lot of 'fans' and had a blast discussing old bikes, restorations, and fond memories . . .

Great glamor shots. Nice country you live near.

Nice! As for the switch I had this problem on my K4 so I just ordered a new switch from Honda and all is well. I even tried rebuilding a switch and tried my luck with a "low mileage" switch from eBay but the new switch is what it took.

Nah. Just checked. Chef and I battled it out. Unless you're talking about last month? How about you finish up that beauty you're working on, so I Chef and I can duke it out over nominating your latest build!

See the lengths envy drives us to?

Nice catch, chef. Apologies, Twes. I re-read back to early May. At least now we know he will have at least 3 votes

Very clean bike, Mike. You had a tough BOTM last year.

mystic_1 · « **Reply #165 on:** April 08, 2015, 08:13:21 PM »

Needs more Photoshop.

Actually, at the show they have installed a photo booth that is run by a professional photographer, Joe Luppino. They do glamor shots of each bike entered in the show. You can see more here:

Hey Mike,
This bike's a real beaut. Did you ever end up totalling your $$ spent? Just curious, I've sunk $10k so far into just my K1 alone, and it's nowhere near finished. So I was just wondering about yours.
Cheers!

Only speaking for myself & not Mike but I try not to ask myself questions I don't want to know the answers to.

Would love to know that answer also, just picked up a K0 basket and gonna be afraid of the wife when the bills start rolling in. Gorgeous machines, congratulations.

Go slow, do the tedious stuff yourself, save the receipts, but never consciously tally them up. This is the only way to go!

I keep a spreadsheet with a running total on all the builds, just so I know what each should be worth, it also helps when I put them on insurance for stated value.
I usually also count money earned by selling the parts I don't need/want and use that to offset the total. My darling wife never sees these spreadsheets, lest I die an early death!
