Pulled the wheels off of the CM450A and removed the rotted old tires, 1 small step closer to being roadworthy.

I work for a place taking care of sport fields(rugby/soccer/cricket) while I get my sports turf management certificate. A lot of driving around on a tractor pulling a big mower. Couldn't think of a better place to do it.

Didn't somebody here recently purchase a K0 with a frame in the right range for a sandcast, but a K1 serial number engine?

Almost sold my 78 750K today... ALMOST! Stopped to take some pictures at an old Hotel, a gentleman came across the street from a small saloon and asked "What is THAT?!" I briefed him on the beast that stood before us and he asked if it was for sale. "Everything is for sale." I told him "For a price." He offered me 2500.00 and a ride home. ALMOST.... Here's the pictures from the hotel. I decided I am not quite done with it yet

I got some OEM parts, All Balls bearings, and some EBC brake pads in the mail today so I can rebuild the front brake and wheel of my K6.



I also painted the brake disk.

No Kidding. Been there. If I sold it I would be kicking myself. I've waited a long time for a Honda 750 four. I haven't even gotten into enjoying it. I'm toying with thoughts of an electronic ignition system right now. Weighing the pros and cons. Points are really starting to piss me off. But one more offer like that and I just might. The whole way home I thought "Dummy, why didn't you take that suckers money?" Yesterday I didn't, Today I would, Tomorrow I wouldn't and so on.... I actually toyed with the Idea a week ago of bailing on it altogether and just buying a new, turn key reliable rider.... Then I thought, "Wheres the class in that" My bike has character. Can't just go out and buy that stuff.......
