After getting this bike in March 2009 I finally got the tins back last Friday. I had completed the chrome, etc. last year, but then the sunflake orange K4 came to me and I got side tracked. All systems are go. The pics just do not do the candy gold justice. Click pic to enlarge...

Sweet I love that orange. There's a 70 KO 750 that color at western hills Honda in cincy. $9000.00 they want for it.

Beautiful..

There's always some (_*_) that can pick any job apart, but I'd say from what I see put it into any place you can to have it "judged." You might as well , you could win a ribbon or somesuch..

Very well done, K1 with gold is a tough combo to beat...Larry

Thanks so much guys. Nothing like getting approval from you on this board. The bike rides very nice Andy. Shifts and runs clean. Guess this will be another keeper.

Nice job John!

ekpent · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2011, 07:22:48 AM »

Wow the sure looks nice Johnie,you are a perfectionist. Did you use a decal for the tank or did your painter paint the black stripe? If you get bored there's a couple over here that could use your magic touch

I think he was saying that there is nothing to nit pick at and it looks purrr-fect.

Johnie · « **Reply #20 on:** June 01, 2011, 03:36:52 PM »

Eric...I did not use a decal. My painter did the decal on this bike and the KO. Thanks...

dave500 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 02, 2011, 02:10:52 AM »
