At a standstill right now. My painter needed to rebuild the carb set up on his 1955 sedan delivery. All the parts for paint are in his basement. I have to be patient, he's a good friend and painter. I'm also working on a 1965 Benley which he will paint bright red for me.

The K0 will look good framed by my 2 red K1's.

It will be worth the wait.
How long has it been since your K1's were first paired up?

I bought my first K1 new in September 1971, foolishly sold in the mid 80's and managed to buy it back. I built the second one about 10 years ago.

Still waiting for paint to be done. it's hard to tell a friend who is not charging me "Come on! Get with it!"
Starting a new project, a 1977 CB750F which will need painting too. Gloss black or Candy Presto Red?

Magpie · « **Reply #429 on:** September 26, 2020, 12:07:17 AM »

A long time coming but the K0 is on the lift waiting for the installation of the recently painted candy blue green bodywork. The build was put on hold while I did a 1977 CB750F in gloss black and a 1967 Honda CB77 Street Scrambler in Honda Cloud Silver.
I'm about to order an exhaust system for the K0 from David Silver Spares.
Photos when it's "completed".

Pardon the DOHC, an estate sale purchase.
The paint for theK0 came out nice.

Gee Cliff, looking forward to seeing it together...could be BOM winner...

Pretty!

Getting the blue back on. And just broke the budget and ordered an exhaust system from David Silver Spares thanks to the good reports posted about them. The gas tank will go on today today.

Cliff did your painter seal the neck of the fuel opening with an epoxy to prevent fuel vapors from degrading the paint and getting underneath the paint. Seen pics of a few paint jobs ruined where the fuel got under the paint and clear coat and bubbled the paint badly around the neck.

Magpie · « **Reply #434 on:** September 30, 2020, 12:49:52 PM »

Yes, he used some black POR-15. I used POR-15 to seal the tank. Cliff.

Pipes arrived early, Christmas in October! Just have to place the decals.

Beautiful!
So, who is nominating this bike for Bike of the Month?

Nice looking CA95 motors on the bench. Got another CA95 or CB95 in the works?

David

Magpie · « **Reply #437 on:** October 07, 2020, 04:14:11 PM »

I have 2 CA95's that I will make one nice one from. Next up is a 1964 305cc Super Hawk. Cliff.

Why not you, David? What a looker of a bike!

RAFster122s · « **Reply #439 on:** October 07, 2020, 07:39:04 PM »

Nominated it...

Gluten for punishment tackling a CA77/78...no that's a dream . So, it is a CB77? Parts are notorious for being a challenge to source correct parts that fit the CA77/78...is that also true for the Super Hawk?

Magpie · « **Reply #440 on:** October 08, 2020, 07:35:57 PM »

The one I have is fairly complete but as usual, I need an exhaust system which after market ones are available. I just finished a 1967 CL77 which was quite complete and correct too.

before I took it apart

just finished a short while ago
Parts seem to be plentiful and there is a good network of owners too.
The CB77 was my first bike, the CL77 my second. Lots of memories here.

Magpie · « **Reply #441 on:** October 09, 2020, 01:27:26 PM »

First time out of the shop fairly complete, needs decals and a couple of touchups, in a very long time. Hooray! Cliff.

MauiK3 · « **Reply #442 on:** October 09, 2020, 03:03:58 PM »

Beautiful bike, did you second your nomination?
Great job, and I love the CL77

Kevin D · « **Reply #443 on:** October 09, 2020, 06:10:20 PM »

Dang it Cliff, That’s a Beauty!
What will you do with it?
Win some trophies? For sure.
Keep it in the stable?
Ride it around the block once a year?
Put it in the family room?

I have applied for a Collector plate for cheaper insurance. We have a multi vehicle plate here so soon as the approval arrives I'll take it out for a ride. Right now it will a cherished member of the herd.
It took me 2 years of negotiation to get a motor on a stand into the rec. room.

Cliff.

Magpie · « **Reply #445 on:** October 11, 2020, 11:08:57 AM »

I think I did second my nomination, if not I'll do it now - yes please. Cliff.

Prospect · « **Reply #446 on:** October 11, 2020, 06:12:19 PM »

That's a fantastic looking bike. Wow. Well worth the effort! I wish Ontario had multi vehicle plate insurance!
