To clear coat it would require sanding the red first.  You may not want to chance that.  The polishing you did made it look much better.  Use a good quality carnuba wax on it and that will protect it nicely.

The bike has yet to be polished, the Z1 that is.

I'm stuck on the shift drum mechanism of the K0. If anyone is willing to help, please watch the video and share their insight.

It's been fixed. Technically I had it together correctly the entire time. The issue is to shift smoothing the front sprocket technically needs to be spinning.

Well the bike was nearing completion.  I had the exhaust to install and found a hole in the lower rail. #$%* sucks but I'm having it repaired properly. Here are a few pics of the holes and the repair process. I'm determined to get this finished one day.

I also picked up a 69 diecast. I was able to unstick the engine within 1 hr of soaking it.

You should change your forum name from Tews to Nickpent. Pretty soon you're going to have to start buying extra properties to store your bike just like him.

Update on the frame. One section is cleaned up. And here is another of the 69 with the busted up side cover.

Not sure Bill, I do know the early K0s did but mine is 30xxx. Motor is mounted today. Hoping to have it all ready by Sunday. At least that's the goal.

Well I'm waiting for the hand controls from Japan. I figured I spent this much money why not get a nice set of controls while I'm at it. I'm also in need of the manifold boots. I bought new ones and I either misplaced them or gave them away in a pile of parts I gave to a member here. Here she is with the no hole 300s on the right side.
