Engine Guards K5
« on: September 18, 2008, 05:50:03 PM »
Is there a such thing as engine guards on a K5?  I think I saw something on ebay for the hondamatic, not sure.

I would shore hate for the ole lady to lay this bike over and damage a case cover.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

I just threw away the ones that were on my K6....I think, but if not they are yours for the cost of shipping plus 5 bucks lol. They are chrome but a little rusty. I can blast em and paint em black if you want? Just let me know.

I have no idea, I found it on the net.  grabbed it because it was so freaky.  I have asked a bunch of people and they have no idea either.

Thanks for letting me know where it came from.  Watched part of the movie on Google video.  Looks like an interesting movie actually.  That guy is sure a lot smaller than what he appears to be in the avatar.
