Hi from Lyon - France
« on: October 16, 2012, 01:15:56 AM »
Hi everybody,

CB 50O Four K1 1974, total restoration nearly finished :






CB 450 K2 :




CB 350 K2 :




CB 125SL K1, totally restored :




C50M 1975, totally original unrestored :




Hope you'll like them !  ;)

PS : sorry for my bad english ...  8)
Patrick

Welcome, Patrick!

Do you have dual disc on the K1?

And I know Lyon little bit, we travelled France in 95 on Honda CBX750  - me and my wife.

Never, it was optional and fitted after sale by the dealer.

The right disc were different and are very rare today, standard left discs are generaly fitted with a modifcation of the speedo gear. I can post pictures of both discs if interested.  ;)

Thats would be great:). I was just wondering since you called it stock - here the front dual is typically done by the owner. I have never seen dealer installed dual disc.

Thanks.
