Great pics everyone.  I always forget to snap shots when I am out on the bike.  Keep them coming.

I really hadn't  thought about it, but your right nccb. Lately I've been out and about on the KO a lot more than on my K6. I'll see if I can do something about that. My K6 is really a good bike I didn't realize I was neglecting it. Shame on me  ::) ::)

Man y'all are a tuff bunch around here Stev-o. Making me feel guilty. The Harley does get the short end of the stick ever since I got back into sohc4 Honda's. It's hard for me to leave either 750 parked long enough to spend anytime on the Harley. CB750's have a way of becoming very addictive ;D

Yeah, tough crowd! Just think, if you sold the Harley, you could buy 2-3 more Hondas!

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

I'll bite.  Between rainstorms in So. Cal. I took the 550 out for a rip.  It's running 100% perfect and ready for the full teardown/rebuild!

I like the front end blacked out like that it looks good.  Hows that fender work?  ;) Nice scoot man.

I actually do like the blacked out fork look, but it was done very poorly by the PO with the forks still on the bike...same as the wheels.  Overspray everywhere.  Fender?? It's a fork brace :-D
