CB750 at Henry Ford Museum
« on: December 29, 2012, 08:46:42 AM »
At the Henry Ford Museum yesterday, don't ya know the first thing I saw was this nice K1 at the front of the Driving America exhibit near the Presidential limousines. I didn't study it, just a bit: Metalflake repaint, acid stain on #1 pipe, grab bar missing like mine.
 I couldn't find it in the online site:

Here it is:

I'm guessing a survivor with a repaint.

I didn't see this RC161 but it's in the collection of 30 motorcycle items:

See the Honda wings are pointed in the wrong direction on the sidecovers,may be a sign of a repaint.
