Well, I'll have to agree that it pained me to learn that Brian Fuller had cut up a K0. On the bright side, he was kind enough to sell me many of the leftover parts from the build along with a bunch of other CB750 parts. I ended up with three sets of carbs, including one K0 set, a set of K0 exhausts, a Kerker exhaust, the K0 gauges, and air cleaner, two rear wheels (one like new), 2 front fenders, 2 rear fenders, a K0 seat, a later model seat, and on and on and on. 4 big plastic storage boxes full of parts. So, I like to think that at least the leftovers went to a good home.
As Brian helped me loading all the stuff, I echoed the concerns expressed on this forum. Brian understood, but as a regular contributor to the Cafe Racer, TV series, he explained to me that this type of reality show requires some controversy and/or disagreements. He explained that preferred that the issues be over the machine and not between people. So, yea, I really wish he'd cut up my extra K5 tank instead of the K0 wrinkle tank, but I understand and appreciate his point of view.
Still, I can't help but wish they hadn't thrown the gauges on the floor after then cut them off of the triple clamp (did you see that on the show?) It cracked the lens on one of the gauges, and I'm still trying to make a new lens so I won't have to buy one of those expensive plastic cases...
