Hey everybody
I had to share my latest 750 purchase.
This is an original untouched virgin "Domestic" K1 (from Japan)
A true "time Capsule"
It has 10K original miles on it, original paint, original seat, etc.
The original owner was a US soldier stationed in Japan in 1971, bought the bike, and shipped it home when he returned soon after, and here it is.
As you can see from the pictures, it is a very interesting bike.
First of all, it is in amazing condition.
All the info and warning stickers are in Japanese
It has the "shift light" between the gauges. By the way, he changed the speedo to MPH when he returned to the US.
The tail light bracket is shorter than the US version
There is NO vin tag, and no holes for one, which makes sense since it has US federal DOT info on it, which does not apply to "domestic" models.
Now, here is the real stumper, the pipes are 341s and the original owner said that they have never been touched or replaced, so considering that it is a late 71, maybe the Japanese models had the 341s on them?
Maybe someone can clarify that.
Anyway, it is a very special bike and I am very excited to have it
Enjoy the pics and thanks for the long read.
