After a while i have some updates.

Frame has been powder coated.
Going with candy red for the k1, although the side covers will be k0 style.
Steering bearings are in.
Front suspension completely rebuilt with new fork tubes.
Correct handle bars.
Wheels laced, and Tires and have now been installed.
Motor is together, with new piston rings, and a fresh valve job.
Motor is now in the frame as well, will post more pictures.
Cycle X transmission has replaced the original, as well as a cycle x rebuilt oil pump.

Looking for side cover emblems, Handle bar switches and exhaust pipes.

Carbs are now on, my cleanest set was 657A carbs with 110 mains .. once the oil tank is on i would be pretty close to fire this thing for the first time.

I have a couple oil tanks, one is from a k6 that happened to be in the pile .. any chance that would work with the k1 engine ? And if yes, what would the pipe connections look like ?

the tank will work,not sure on the piping ,but your cap will sit in the ko sidecover a little funny,ideally you would want a ko tank.bill

And what about if i went with the k1 tank .. is the cap still going to sit in funny ?

Yes mate, externally the K1 and K6 oil tanks are the same. Better if you can find a K0 oil tank.

754 · « **Reply #31 on:** June 20, 2018, 08:50:22 AM »

K1 to k6 are basically the same but the later ones may have an extra breather hose fitting.
KO tanks are horrible expensive. Though I did see a chrome one with a dent sneak thru cheap on ebay lately..
Maybe, reposition cap on a K1 to K6 tank., i should have tanks, was it you looking for centerstands.?
By piping do you mean oil lines? Should be the same till you get into the 77 78 style tanks.

Hi,
Nice collection of parts. Are your 1969 engines and frames sandcast?

Salman_z8 · « **Reply #33 on:** July 30, 2018, 12:41:16 PM »

Unfortunately my earliest engine is still a diecast, and i doubt that my frames are sandcast either, i guess i should check that ..LOL
They have just been sitting quietly in a garage corner

So, last week, in my routine conquest to score more CB parts, specifically HM300 pipes for my current 71, (which i am just about to fire up)
I found a set of pipes, and ended up paying way too much for the bikes.
Originally, i was going to just take the pipes off, and sell the rest, but now i am seeing another future project. $:-\$ and i cant seem to let go.
Got a good set of pipes, good front wheel, frame is good, motor has 20,000 miles on it.
Gauges are there, original chrome is great, as the bike sat in a covered barn for the last 25 years.
Frame and tank were reprayed somewhere in the 90's ... Tank is immaculate inside, just had some brake fluid fall on the right side and that stripped some paint.
I might sell that for the right price ... PM me if anyone is interested.

Motor wasnt running great, but a few minutes to fiddle the points, now runs way better, timing was off originally.
It has the finned Points cover, which is up for grabs.
Sissy Bar if anyone wants it, you pay shipping and its yours.
Swing arm has been chromed, and few other brackets ... DONT KNOW WHY
Missing the airbox, but i have one, but i DO need airbox boots ... if anyone has spare ones, please PM me, i will even take the rock hard ones, as well as intake boots.
Front fender is super fantastic.
Tail light lens has been ruined by a crystal ..LOL

Here, it is after coming home.

Missing the center stand, and may be someone messed around with the side stand as well, seems too short. Vin is 1085****
If you need something off of this, wouldnt hurt to ask .. i am not sure of what i want to do with it yet.

754 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 30, 2018, 02:11:47 PM »

Was it you that was looking for center stands a while back ?
I have 2. And am in BC.

Salman_z8 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 30, 2018, 02:18:17 PM »

It was. I did acquire one since then. But with this new acquisition, seems like i might need one more after all.

Salman_z8 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2018, 02:19:06 PM »

I remember a year back, you wanted the K0 chain cover that i had.

Salman_z8 · « **Reply #39 on:** July 30, 2018, 02:21:20 PM »

Need some airbox boots, i will even take the hard ones if you got any

754 · « **Reply #40 on:** July 30, 2018, 03:00:52 PM »

Are the air box boots for the 71 or the 69 ?
or are they same part number. I might have some.

Salman_z8 · « **Reply #41 on:** July 30, 2018, 03:05:33 PM »

I believe they are the same for both 69 and 71.

Does anyone the dimensions of a correct set of handle bars for k0/k1 ?
And if anyone has bought a set of replica bars somewhere ?

754 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 01, 2018, 09:55:41 PM »

Around 98 or do I put a sandcast together. I justvwent to Honda and ordered new bars. They likely had small differences. Maybe see if they still can supply them.

The ones i have are from there

But since i picked up my other k1, which has the original bars on it, i kinda like those.
They seem to have more rise than the ones i got, width is about the same, even pull back is about the same.
I was wondering if anyone knew a place, which sold exact replicas. If not then i will keep what i have i guess
