Ok I will get some pics of the air box this weekend and I have my k1 front fender but not a k0

Stev-o · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2014, 02:47:57 PM »

The K0 would have a "ducktail" seat if not mistaken. Do you have the "j latch" off the your current seat? The later model is different.

Salt... I would like pictures of the front fender also. Thank you much!

Stev-o... the one I found is a ducktail seat. He says it is from a k0. Can see it here.

Nice seat for a original build.....$215 shipped in the U.S.

Just curious if this would be a better buy than the brand new seat? Being a college kid I have to make sure I get the right stuff the first time! I am not necessarily too worried about getting it back to completely stock but I would like to get it as close as I can.

And I believe I have a "j-latch"... will post a picture later. It has a locking mechanism the is simple... a half circle on a spring that you can pull out of a hole to unlock the seat latch. Then pull the latch and the seat will come up. I will post a picture after class tonight.

I really appreciate all of your advice! Thank you again!

Thought you had a 1971? Ducktail is the way to go if it's a K0 and you can repair that seat where you'll be happy with it. [I dislike damaged seats]

cmoses · « **Reply #29 on:** March 26, 2014, 06:14:19 PM »

It says 71 on the title but according to the VIN and date on the neck of the frame it is a 70. Also the 4 to 1 throttle cable made me think it was a 70. I will post more pics and you guys can tell me if I am right or wrong.

Also, here is one of the breaks on my triple tree...

I looked up the VIN on here and it says its a 1970 but I may have been looking in the wrong spot. If it is then that seat and a new (to me) unicorn are on the way.

Stev-o · « **Reply #30 on:** March 26, 2014, 06:35:15 PM »

It's a K0, look here...

See the gap on the triple where the bolt pulls it together? There should be a D washer in there. If not and you tighten it, the triple can crack.

Great, I was hoping I at least got that part right. I guess that's good?

I have read that you cant get those washers anymore... hopefully the one I get comes with at least a couple and I can use those with what I have. Wishful thinking.

I haven't forgotten aboit you moses just been working 80+ hour weeks lately so I haven't been able to get to the shop to even see my bike. As soon as I do I will get that for ya

cmoses · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2014, 03:03:13 PM »

I appreciate it let me know! I might be interested in the whole front end if the price isnt too crazy. I think the forks are toast on mine... and the ears are off a 72 so its not stock k0 anyways

saltcitycafe · « **Reply #38 on:** April 04, 2014, 05:26:11 AM »

Mine is an early 71 k1 not a k0 if thats whst you were thinking

cmoses · « **Reply #39 on:** April 04, 2014, 01:53:37 PM »

That's fine for now as long as they are better than mine haha. My forks have some rust at the top and I have been told that they are bad. I don't know how to tell and haven't had time to read up yet.

Johnie · « **Reply #40 on:** April 04, 2014, 02:16:35 PM »

All forks have a little rust at the spot where the clamps are. Usually you can clean it up fine and it is not seen once the ears and gators are in place.

cmoses · « **Reply #41 on:** April 04, 2014, 02:21:39 PM »

Well that is good to know... maybe they are fine then. I still need a fender though. I think I just found a box:

He's a member here, didnt he post in your parts wanted thread?
BTW - I've seen airboxes sell for less than $40, the cafe guys chunk them away...

cmoses · « **Reply #43 on:** April 04, 2014, 09:23:09 PM »

Yeah Stev-o its the same guy, he is giving it to me for 20 bucks. I just want to make sure everything I buy fits before I buy it haha. I have made some expensive mistakes before!

Hey, Moses! I'm in dayton too! actually vandalia but close enough. Nice to see Dayton getting more people interested in the vintage bikes!

754 · « **Reply #45 on:** June 01, 2014, 11:09:16 PM »

That head is 73 or later.
What do you mean the forks are shot?

cmoses · « **Reply #46 on:** August 16, 2014, 05:10:59 PM »

Im back! The forks are fine. I still have to find out about the head.
