Decided to go with the more 70's vintage look on the K4 since it's a original survivor.
Went with the Continental. I know Johnie will be happy ;) Like I said I really like the Dunlop 404, but just wanted a little different look.

Those classic Conti's will certainly grip the road while giving it a nice vintage image.  8)

For sure...I would not be without my Conti's. I was going to try some retro Dunlops, but like the Conti's so much I could not bring myself to change.

Had to pull my Saturday at work and just got home not long ago. But Brenda my sweet wife(thanks darling) pick up my new Conti RB2/R112 tires. I went on and had the shop mtn. and balance them. The extra money was worth it to me not to have to mess with it. Maybe when I get my bigger shop I'll have room for the proper tire equipment to do it myself. They sure are pretty Johnie ;) Do they ride as good as they look ;D

Those Conti's are an excellent choice Dwight, I had a set on my K1 back in the 1980's, and they were the best tyre you could put on a CB750 back then. I'll be putting a set on my K0/K1/K2 projects when I get around to doing them, for sure. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Shake down run on the K4 today. After riding around taking it easy for a little bit everything seemed to be in order brakes, tires, etc. I tached her up some through the gears up to 90 and smooth as could be and that sohc4 not missing a lick and not even breathing hard. I think I'm going to like this K4 8)

Yeah me to Randy. This is the 750K4 I bought at the estate sale in Lexington remember. Your dad sold at his dealership in 1974. It's took me 2 years or better but it's finally on the road again 8)
