Rolled it out into the sun for the first time. Wow, the new gold paint pops!

Still have to adjust the throttle cables and bleed the front brakes then it's pretty much ready for a test ride.

Nice K2! It’s become my favorite of all the CB750s. I like all the little unique K2 details. Flash vs turn, turn signals mount the headlight on chrome ears, white tank letters on painted tank, gauges etc. Wish I had an original seat like you.
