Sitting in a RV campground in Anaheim, just noticed in the "see your bike on the road".
 This winter Ill be turning my K6 into complete stock, the bikes are so good looking to me in stock form.
 Ill be trying my hand at painting tank and side covers Candy Antares Red, wish me luck.

All you need is tenacity, rather than luck. But good luck anyways.    Thanks for the props. For a classic bike, I agree its a great bike stock. I'm really pleased how it turned out. Mind you, I hired pros to get thinks like the tank and covers sprayed properly, the head machined properly so I think I just bolted it all back together. Even the carbs are simple devices.

Mine attracts attention and some good conversations. People are amazed how new it looks. All I can say is get started and don't look back.

I must agree that my stockish 550 has a great nostalgia value -- so much so that I will keep that bike and not do any further major mods. 

Anaheim -- right down the road from me.  Camping in Anaheim??  Where?  At Disneyland or the Big A?

Well I live in No Calif, wife and I were visiting our grand daughters, 3 and 1, we stayed at Orangeland RV park., right next to A's stadium and Honda center. Had a great time, little on the hot side,

Thankfully, we made it through a hellish heat wave, combined at times with some high humidity from storms off the coast of Baja California. It was excruciatingly unpleasant.  On top of it, I had to go out to Palm Desert two weeks ago when it was 115+.  YUCK!  I like our typically warm weather, but I'm glad the heatwave is over.
