Thanks Kevin. I dry fitted the jugs and head and they seem to fit properly. I guess I needed to here it from someone who has already been there...........Gary

Okay heres my problem ; I`m ready to replace the bearings in my front wheel but the po replaced it and doesnt remember what year he replaced it with. The bearing seal has 6302 RS stamped on it. Does anyone out there know which year bearing are compatible ? I dont want to order the wrong ones. Thanks for any help.......Gary

Contact them, tell them your make model and year..They will square you away. Best ones out there for the money. I used them.

Hey I have been really swamped with my kids wrestling and preparing for my wife's bday. I will send out the caps by saturday at latest.

The problem is I dont know what year model wheel it is. The po swapped it out and doesnt remember what year it came off of. No Problem about the caps. I just found out the rings that were sent to me are wrong so i still cant build my engine. Very frustrating...........Gary

While I`m waiting on the correct rings I have been busy trying to clean some of the rust from my chrome parts with mixed result. Also after watching Jerry`s K2 build i am going to redo my wiring harnes. Thanks for the info Jerry.................Gary

Garystratos201 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 25, 2012, 09:51:06 AM »

Like Christmas all over. Got some new parts in today for my project. New tapered neck bearings, front wheel bearings. new handle bars, new lt switch. Also rounded up enough parts to restore my swingarm to what a K1 should be. And thanks again to Jerry for the hook up for the stuff to freshen up my wiring harness.

Problem ; need to know what years frt fenders are compatible with my K1.

for the future ; correct year tank and side covers, new rear shocks, maybe frt and rear rims and spokes...........

memo to myself ; Make sure wife never reads this thread. lol........................Gary

Garystratos201 · « **Reply #87 on:** October 26, 2012, 08:09:02 AM »

Thanks. All of the new parts came from from Service Honda. There price are reasonable. I`m trying to find some bright red finger nail polisht for the rt switch so they will match.............Gary

Hi Gary,
Looks like you have a few parts to keep you busy for a little while at least

The front fender was the same for 71 and 72 - whats wrong with yours?

(maybe I missed it in past posts) Your caliper looks really nice, is that paint or powder coating?

Fender is pretty dinged up and some rust but the braces but the braces are the worst. The biggest problem I have is that the po swapped out the frt end after a crash and doesnt remember what year he swapped it with.

The caliper is powder coated . Got it off Ebay from a guy in Tennessee. Looks better in person...............Gary

Finally found the time to put my engine back together and after two grueling hours of wrestling with the piston rings.....I finally got them in. Jugs, head, cam timing set, valve towers and rockers all on and adjusted. I havent set the points yet but that part is easy. Somewhere in the future I`ll need a different stator cover as mine is gouged in several places. One more good cleaning and polishing the covers and it will be ready to install. My frame is supposed to finished by next weekend ( keeping fingers crossed ). When I let the guy do my frame it was supposed to done in two weeks. Now fours weeks later and more excuses that you can shake a stick at it, Its still one more week. Will never happen again. My next project will all be under my control...............Gary

Garystratos201 · « **Reply #91 on:** November 29, 2012, 10:06:25 AM »

Havent posted in awhile for several reasons. I had to put my bass boat in the shop for an intermittent electrical problem and the guy that was supposed to be striping my frame kept putting me off so I finally went and got my parts from him and took the to BWS Soda Blasting Co. in Madison Ga about 30 miles from my house. It took them to two hours to have everything stripped down and it was $75 cheaper !!! Everything has now been primed with a two part etching primer. I`ve ready many stories on here about the many different problems installing the swing arm bushings and the tapered triple tree bearings. But I have figured out by far the easiest method yet........Superior Machine Shop for 20 bucks. lol No hassles, no aggravation. Dropped them off late afternoon and pickup the next morning. Now I`ll take the parts to my friend at the body shop for urethane paint ...............Gary

I took Frame, swingarm, center stand, side stand, upper and lower triples, to be blasted. The battery box and brackets I`ll do myself.

The guy that was going to do the sandblasting was going to charge me $175 BWS did it for a 100 bucks.

WhyNot2 · « **Reply #94 on:** November 29, 2012, 10:31:37 AM »

That sounds fair.............think I'll find someone around here in Augusta that'll do it that cheaply.

Thanks man.

Garystratos201 · « **Reply #95 on:** November 29, 2012, 12:01:32 PM »

I was just in Augusta Tuesday. I had some work done on my bass boat at Augusta Marine. BWS is about an hour and a half from you. If you need the number let me know..............Gary

WhyNot2 · « **Reply #96 on:** November 29, 2012, 05:34:11 PM »

Yea man............I'd like that number..........if places here are more expensive......I'm up for a road trip someday.

Kewl.....................

Good deals! What color are you painting the frame?

jerry h · « **Reply #98 on:** November 29, 2012, 11:14:05 PM »

Hi Gary,
Looks like progress is being made. It'll be exciting getting the frame back from painting, then you can start building a bike.
