Wanted to screw on a new ignition cover as the old one has serious dents and rust.

Will not fit by approx. 3-5 mm.

Realized, that the old cover had been bulged to fit.

So what is wrong here, are there different spark advancer shaft?

Thanks, Pete

PN sent, I have some questions regarding tank, ignition switch for diecast KO's

Took off the cover on my red diecast KO.
The small nut (6mm) seems to be flat into the bigger nut, the shaft seems to be shorter.

The cover of my red KO does not fit either on the bluegreen.

So I assume, the problem comes from the shaft (part No. 30231-300-010).

Cleaned the front brake caliper and holder.

Found a set of NOS/NIB VESRAH brake pads in my boxes, very old.

What do you think, still usable?

Started cleaning the spark plug caps with No. 1 and 4.

Seem to be still the original Nippon Denso 29750-024-0, German, France, Netherland and Australia (?) KO/K1 came with.

Correct me if I´m wrong!

Astonishing, as most of them had been replaced soon with water ressistant ones in those days.

Soaked them in diluted rost remover for half an hour, wiped off and OK so far. They will be a good test for my new Christmas tool, the ultra S. cleaner, to proof what he´s able to.

Found a tail light bracket in good condition on local ebay.
So I can mount the rear winker where they belong.

Here, in Germany.

Found a KO gas tank on local ebay. It came yesterday. Looks good, only little rust inside.

Will send that together with other spare parts to be painted by Menno Dek.

Excellent thread. You've done some really nice work and done it incredibly quickly.

Really enjoying the photo documentation. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Checked again the old bike- papers. ("Kraftfahrzeugbrief")

Noticed, that the bike had been dis- registerred on September 18, 1975.
(I thought, it was 1977). (Last entry on bottom right side)

In this "Kraftfahrzeugbrief" all the bike related technical data and every owner, that registerred the bike, is noted.

As this is an original, very old "letter", beneath VIN even the engine No. is stated. In my case the bike has still its original engine.

The PO registerred the bike in August 1972, drove it until Sept. 1975.
According to other paperwork, he bought it with 12.000 km on July 14, 1972. Prize was DM 4.800
I would say that was about $ 1.200 in those days.

Thank you, Ron.

I like the double color.

I would just clean it well and kept it like this, original patina is great.

That is the plan.

Cleaning and keeping original parts whereever it is possible.

Painting frame and frame related parts, e.g. oil tank and swing arm, only partiually where necessary.

To me, a 46 old bike not only consists of a 46 year old engine and frame. Its the total of all parts.

So I spend a lot of time de-rusting and cleaning bolts, srews (of corse), nuts, washers and springs.

Doing that gives me some sort of peace at the end of a heavy day in the office.
Gives me the good feeling that most parts of that bike will still be the parts the bike was assembled with 46 years ago.

Must not look as new simply because the bike is not new.

New parts so far:

- front wheel spokes
- Mission cover screws
- ignition, ignition cover + screws
- Oil filter and bolt for the oil filter cover
- air filter (NOS)
-oil lines from/to oil tank
- set of Conti tyres
- diverse gaskets (exhaust, oil filter, mission cover..)
- handle switch screws
- brake pads (NOS)
- muffler connecting tubes + bands

+ re- chromed rear wheel and spokes (cinked)

Your ignition stud, is probably not screwed in all the way. Either that or it is from a different model.

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #62 on:** January 06, 2016, 11:54:14 AM »

Will check that. Thanks!

Nothing happened, too cold in the garage.

In the meantime I found two candy bluegreen fork ears.

I searched for good used ones but had no success in doing so.
Ended in two NOS holders, that came from tow different persons here in Germany.

There are lots of candy reds out there but little or no ones in candy bluegreen. Strange.

Tried to take a photo that shows the color, no way even in the bright sun.

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #64 on:** January 17, 2016, 04:47:36 AM »

And some other missing parts related to the fork ears.
My list is growing.

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #65 on:** January 20, 2016, 09:33:49 AM »

Mounted fork ears, fork and front wheel.

Realized, there is not enough space behind the head light case for throttle and clutch cable, brake hose) with my Habermann handle bars

So either going back (without fork ears, fork boots) or using the genuine bar $:-\$

Had a bad last night, always saw that milky stuff that came out of the right hand fork.
Someone told me all over the night: That must be water in the fork oil. Fix that!

Gone to next HONDA dealer and bought two oil seals. Fork out again.

Noticed, I don't have the right tool to get that bloody internal clip out.

Bought one.

Had difficulties to get the old seals out, but a hammer and a piece of wood finally did it.

Will have a good night today.

Decided to say goodbye to Mr. Habermann.

Took those bars off and provisionally mounted the deer antier KO bar.

noticed, the left hand Habermann is bended. So scrap anyway.

If somebody wants them for a budget café racer: give me a PN

That stud has been broken and then has been welded together by a honk

Therefore, it now is too long by some mm.

Bought a new one.

Now my serious problem: how do I get out the old one ... can this be done without dismantling the whole engine?

Please check the shape of the pivot, seems it is not only screwed in, there is that gap before the thread:

The o ring goes in there, are you taking those clamps off the fork rubbers, i can use them..

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #71 on:** January 21, 2016, 02:24:59 PM »

Thanks! So I can screw the pilow out straight away?

What clamps do you mean?

754 · « **Reply #72 on:** January 21, 2016, 02:46:31 PM »

Sometimes the studs come out hard.
You had clamps on the short fork boots i think when you bought the bike..

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #73 on:** January 21, 2016, 11:16:02 PM »

PM me your address.

Sgt.Pinback · « **Reply #74 on:** January 23, 2016, 09:22:42 AM »

Have to sort out some electrical issues. E.g. no spark ....

Have to wait for painted parts from Menno.

Habermann bars will go to Vienna

Status quo
