The official explanation is that this non-running K4 was an orphan that crawled into the garage one rainy evening to take shelter, and... we just couldn't help it. Of course the live-in girlfriend never once bought that flimsy excuse, but there was no actual resistance, so we took that as a yes-you-may.
What makes this somewhat unusual is that this garage belongs to my friend, a hardcore Harley guy (he has a SG, softtail, and sportser) who has suddenly taken an interest in old Hondas, which you know is sacrilegious in his circle, so his identity shall remain anonymous throughout the course of this build.
I am going to rebuild it keeping the mechanical aspect completely OEM, but upgrading electronics to as modern as possible: M-unit blue, keyless ignition, motogadget everything, antigravity lithium battery, and a PAMCO to boot.
My goal is to take this bike across America on a lengthly road trip- hopefully next spring if circumstances permit.
