But no its a K2 all over.

Technically yes but you can see the road from the driveway

....the other bikes are very nice - a `72 and a `75.

And to make up for my technicality here are a couple of the bike in Maine - Aug 2008

A picture of the 78 in minnesota on the way to madeline island wisconsin.......

Very nice. Are those BMW sidecases?

cheers
Andy

Andy,
They are Krauser hard saddlebags which were primarily mounted to BMWs. My understanding is that Krauser also made a "universal" mount which I believe I have. They fit almost perfectly except when heavily loaded they just touch the top pipes. They are made of a very durable material though and have yet to melt. They're wonderful for touring.

I'll get some today if the weather holds. I'm pretty sure we had our 15 minutes of blue sky for the day.

Outstanding Nippon as always

What shocks do you have on the rear? Your rear end looks quite high?

cheers
Andy

nippon · « **Reply #159 on:** April 14, 2009, 02:07:23 PM »

Andy, the shocks are exactly as long as the original shocks. Probably the angle of view and the underground is not even, too. I use Koni 7610-1296 shocks.

I snapped these last Sunday while I stopped to let the feeling return to my hands

My thin uninsulated leather gloves weren't quite good enough for strong wind and 3 degrees.

Oh, it's a 1974 CB350F

Matt.

1977 CB550 on the Blue Ridge Parkway
1978 CB750 Back home after a week on the Parkway
1975 CB750 Heading up to the Parkway.
This year I am working on the 1971 CB750 for the annual trip to the parkway. Trying to make it 4 years in a row on 4 diffrent bikes.

Nippon, your bike is gorgeous, I really like that gold after seeing that shade on yours. Those pics don't do it justice. I think these are some closeups here.

And if its cold in the morning, do not cry for me, as I work THE PIT everyday.
Andy you and the guys rode down the same part ( see road Con-destruction!). I ride past Barbers (big 45th Ford Mustang event this weekend) and will be there Sunday. More pics then.

andy750 · « **Reply #172 on:** April 17, 2009, 04:10:20 AM »

Bikes looking good Goat - first time Ive seen it out on the road

Mick - more great shots and the red bike is looking very nice! Quite a collection you have there. Is that a usual Sunday gathering in the car park? Quite a crowd...

cheers
Andy

Dunstall body work (tank and seat) from England(still has big yellow tag). The fairing fits the six inch light the PO put on. The fender from a early 80s Kawi with help of the infamous dremmel tool and home depot.
