Thats what Doris said, come to think of it I have heard that a lot!

Eldar:

If you read these post very carfully you I think you will agree that these guys are calling us GAY. You have to read between the lines a little bit but it is there.

I did not want to bring out the big guns but now i have no choice. Terry(OZ) sent me this photo of himself a few month back! I NEVER BROUGHT IT UP TO HIM. I just pretended i never got it. I saved it just in case something like this happened. I am sorry I have to do this.

God almighty Terry, that's not a seat, it's a sofa! I better stop teasing you though, if you can comfortably swing your leg over that thing, you must be over 8 feet tall! Ha ha, Cheers, Terry.

Well terry can call us gay all he wants. He lives in OZ and well, the women there are more manly than the men are! It is just another example of the jealosy the k1s have for the K8!

Quail "Owner of the comfortable k8" · « **Reply #55 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:40:25 PM »

ok here is a photo of my K8, with the comfie seat. My bike needs work but I like to ride in the summer, so looks suffer.

dusterdude · « **Reply #56 on:** October 18, 2005, 07:34:39 AM »

i need a comfy seat for my k1,if possible

eldar · « **Reply #57 on:** October 18, 2005, 08:58:35 AM »

Well you need to contour it. Get different foam that is thicker or better yet, a firm foam for the bottom and softer foam for top. This way you have cush and support. This is about how my K8 seat feels.

yea i think thats what ill do,but i would love to find another seat pan for it.

eldar · « **Reply #59 on:** October 18, 2005, 12:12:26 PM »

Seat pans are #$%* to get in good shape. I suppose if I wanted to pay double, I could go to david silver.
I had to get mine welded as the Po had cracked it by not having the rubbers in the right spots.

dusterdude · « **Reply #60 on:** October 18, 2005, 12:21:45 PM »

yea i dont want to tear mine up,so if i find a pan for a good price ill buy it and go from there

You can put a K2-K6 seat on your bike Dusty, you just need to change the K1 latch (which doesn't fit on a K2-K6 seat) for the K2 - K6 seat lock assembly. I'm recovering my K1 seat, and I can't find a K1 seat latch assembly anywhere so I'm thinking about making a mount on my seat pan for a K2-K6 seat lock assembly. I wouldn't want one of those jealous K8 guys stealing my beautiful K1 seat, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.

We would not want to downgrade terry! See we like seats that do not have imprints of your ass cheeks! then old K seats are soo flat!

Quail "Owner of the comfortable k8" · « **Reply #63 on:** October 26, 2005, 07:41:52 PM »

I do like my seat but at 5ft 9in the ground is just a tad to far down. I am going to get a set of those rear shock lowering brackets Terry (OZ) told us about. I wonder if the tire hits the inner fender well after you do that. You know some of those large breast will put the rear springs to the test.

Have you thought about a breast reduction operation Terry, those big "Man boobs" must be very uncomfortable mate, how's your back? I've still got that spare set of chrome lowering blocks for a 750, if you need them, Linda has ordered a set for her bike, so they're still up for grabs mate, Cheers, Terry.

Went you get a minute send me a emal if you have an idea what the total cost would be. If send them "slow boat" you know 2-3 year shipping.

I'd recommend airmail mate, they don't weigh that much, I reckon they'd get there in a week for under $20.00, what have you got to trade? I need a petcock repair kit so I can put the "Funky Tank" that Chris Boomhower sold me on my K1?

Thanks for the email with the pic of the two girls, I don't know what you've done to them mate, but their hair's got a lot darker? (at both ends, he he!) Cheers, Terry.

Quail "Owner of the comfortable k8" · « **Reply #67 on:** October 31, 2005, 06:20:22 AM »

what year and model is the petcock off of. I will be placing an order to honda this week so I will get it for you then.

Hey I just rode down and picked the girls up for you. They are "dirty girls" I was not going to clean them up just to ship them off. They should clean up pretty good, right now they just clean each other like a pair of cats, I find myself just watching them do that for hours!

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #68 on:** October 31, 2005, 01:45:23 PM »

Ha ha, well just in case i can't afford to ship the girls out right away, do you think you could film them "at play" for me? It'd be great to see them happy again, and I figure we could sell a few (thousand) copies and the proceeds could then be used to send me across to the US to personally collect them from you, (and a container full of ebay sohc-4's to take home) and to provide suitable transport back to Oz to start their happy new lives in the, er, um, film industry? It's only a small market here compared to the US, but I'm sure they'll be very well received here, and will soon forget the trauma of Hurricane Katrina!

Ok, back to reality (bugger it!) the petcock is on a 1971-72 K1/K2 (not sure which, but the petcock is the same) CB750. I bought a repair kit on ebay for my K3 and for was very impressed, it has all the OEM parts in little Honda baggies, and even new mounting screws. Here's a link, Cheers, Terry.

Bad news 1 of them died last night and the other is pretty sick. I forgot to let them in last night, they only had 1 t-shirt and it got down to 9c degrees. Again Sorry.

I will know about the petcock kit tomorrow.

Oh well, I've been looking around the 'net, and there seems to be a plethora of scantily clad young babes that will seemingly do anything to keep old men like us happy, so as sad as I am that one of the twins has passed Terry, I just want you to know that I don't blame you and I'm sure I'll find another pair in better condition, just by providing these friendly honest 'net folk with my credit card details, even though of course, this service is free.

I was checking out my petcock (amongst other things) and it looks like the screw in bowl thingy on the bottom of the petcock is badly corroded, are they still available? The part number is indecpherable, but it's called a "cup fuel strainer" in my parts manual? Fanx mate, Cheers, Terry.

My break down for the K1 shows the bolt in the bowel to be a 6X28 pan head screw with a gasket, the "cup fuel strainer" is shown in your photo below and is brass screen with a hole for the bolt in the center.
How does the bowel attach to the petcock? Can you take a photo?

PS lost the other one last night I guess. Looks like something got her and dragged her down into the woods, No signs of a struggle so I think she had had passed on before it got to her. Kind of sad to see that go to waste, looks like she would have cleaned up real nice. Well something was bound to eat her sooner or later.

terry,the bowl threads into the petcock

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #73 on:** November 01, 2005, 12:01:47 PM »

Thanks Terry, sorry to hear that Babe #2 perished so horribly, where was Doris while all this was going on? Not that I'd suspect a man's wife of foul play, just because he's brought home two beautiful naked babes? Anyway, if Doris comes back from the woods covered in blood carrying a shovel, she's probably just been doing some gardening....................

The strainer is the little mesh filter that you described,I need that too (it's part of the rebuild kit in the pic) but what I also need is the actual cup that screws into the bottom of the petcock, as Dusty's mentioned above. Someone has taken a set of vice grips to mine to remove it on a previous occasion, and it's corroded on the inside. Cheers, Terry.

Quail "Owner of the comfortable k8" · « **Reply #74 on:** November 01, 2005, 12:17:21 PM »

Ok that seems right (I read his statement "the screw in bowl on the bottom") wrong. This is a petcock like I have seen on the k3 or k4. Terry (OZ) I could not add on to my order this week but I will find out for you next week. It will prob be cheaper to find a good petcock that does not leak on this forum. I have one for a K7 (but lets not even go there) OK lets go there, Hey i have a K7 Tank with a good petcock. Just think of the improvment that could make. (OK I will let that dog die now) You know if dusterdude found this thread Eldar is not far behind.
