The cool factor of 4 pipes, old side cover with oil filler and a cleaned up front end (flatter bar) never gets old.  Great colour too!

Sadly, with the Photobucket clusterf*ck, this thread is missing a lot of pics, so I propose that even if you've posted in the past, post here again for posterity.  Riding season is coming and nothing better than having those original beauties out in the sun.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Nice one Dave!


My 500K1 was resurrected from a cafe racer.  Kept the PO's paint job and 4 into 1, but spent quite a few bucks bringing it back to a stock look.

This is my K6 in silver to mimic the K2 sold in Japan. Bike looks more gray in the picture than in actuality because it was overcast when I took the photo.

The tank and side covers are repros. I kept the original tank/covers (Anatares Red) because they are much too nice to repaint.

Valley green metallic was a 1971 color along with that year only seat design. Baccus green might have been a 72 color. Mine is the flake orange.

Your bike looks good Dave.  My next project may be a CB500, I picked one up for $50.

I add my K7 (USA model), just completed after cleaning and  lubrication, did first short test ride: swingarm cleaning/lubrication, new chain (stock 630), steering stem tappered  bearing, all cables lubrication, new battery, new fuses holder (home made), MC and caliper rebuild
Except brake lines and converted headlight from US sealed beam to european H4 parabola and position light using Honda parts, all stock original.

Still to do:
Brake lines change to braided with original look, new whell bearings, new tires, carbs cleaning / rebuild, full tune-up

I love her, cannot wait season to start

Other than the Kerker muffler, bad paint job (it was originally Sulfur Yellow) and I think higher than stock bars (it's going to get the Euro bars I have in my parts box), my '76 750F project is stock.
