A really nice one! :) Does it sound as badass as it looks? For me there is just one point I do not like... the gauge is much too high in my opinion. But hey, it's your bike and my opinion! ;)

For the moment is it a standard HONDA rev counter mounted but maybe there will be a Smith revcounter + oilpressure gauge in the future.
I am also planning a fairing will see what happends this winter, I have also another project, a 1965 CB77 that I restore, there is only some small things before upstart.

Hello Benor, superb looking bike, can you tell me what are the rear sets from
, and how have you fitted the rear brake operating assembly ? I have a K4 and am wondering what to do with it, maybe follow what you have done, I`m drooling.Thanks .

The rear sets come from a CBR900 -94 and I made a fitting that is welded in the frame for 2 bolts on both right and left side.
For the brake the hanger is changed I got a fitting for the wire welded both on the hanger and pedal. The wire is from a Baotian moped
but shortened and there is also a fitting made in the brakepanel.

Beautiful.

Is that tail section steel or fiberglass ?   Who makes it, if you don't mind revealing your source ?

Beautiful.  Can't say it enough.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

The tail is glasfiber and I bought ir ready to use from Mead Speed in UK, the HONDA emblem is made in Sweden of a man that makes emblems and so on.

Hi,
I have bought them as loose parts/kit from Holland, and the welding together is done by me.
