Looks good, now if you want to replace the K0 ignition and fork lock with a NOS K0 Yamiya has one for just north of $2k!
Gotta love the NOS K0 stuff.

 I just got a set of intakes from JT too. My diecast has a late Yoshi looking header with a loooong dunstall looking muffler. I'm not digging the look at all and if there's enough jack left after the race car is running I'm ordering a set of Yamiya no numbers.

Front KO rubbers don´t have those signs. Only "1","2","3","4" on top. (and no part number on it as later rubbers)

As that one here

Got the side covers polished and for original paint they turned out pretty nice.

They look great John, well done! ;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?"

Got the carbs on and slides installed. Getting close to start up. Will bench sync the slow idle screws just to get them close and do same on the cables.

Any update Johnie? I put my new carb to airbox boots on and now the airbox won't mount to the frame... Do you have the same issue?

Tews the holiday weekend got me a bit behind schedule. Plus, I've been riding and not in the shop. I will hopefully get back at it soon. You talking about the K1 air box? How far off is it? Only time I had that issue was when I had the orientation of those rubbers not correct.

Yep, the K1 airbox won't lineup. Everything else is fine minus the two mounting screws. It's not a big deal so I'm leaving it for now.
