I see all pictures except one from Don which is a photobucket link. Could be your settings. Want me to describe the pictures to you?

Nah, in my mind they're all awesome!

Can't imagine what settings might be wrong on my machine, though... nevermind, I'll get it sorted - or not...

Got this for free from a lady who wanted it out of her pump shed. The engine was a jigsaw puzzle as there were odd duplicates of parts for ? reason. It became BOTM 9/18. The frame photo is after substantial cleaning. Funny how repop exhausts are more than the bike new. Oh well. There are few things more expensive than a free old Honda

Seems no grab rail on K0, and K1. My 1972 K2 has the rail. Thank you for the compliment.

Cool, I'll play! I got it as decent rider condition but needing some stuff. Went to put new tires on it... A six pack and a few hours later it was broken down to the frame, and so the restoration began.

My K1 shortly after I brought it home 15 years ago (right before I got married), and now. I still have the wife, too.

Excited to throw my project up here, 72 CB500. Its been kinda a long road but totally rewarding now that it's practically done.

My only concern: The engine tipped back in the "chopper style" for a few thousand miles, has that ever caused any oil starvation problems for these engines? The oil analysis looked good and I've never seen any metal in the oil so i'm not too worried about it, just wondering.
