Are ya gonna be abble to match the side covers to that tank?  Might have to go with flat black on the side covers so as not to end up with a mis-match.

 ;) No worries!  I have a NOS right side on order from Western Hills Honda (they have 7 NOS Sunrise Orange right sidecovers in stock - go figure  ::)).  It cost me US$100 (yep, for ONE sidecover) but it's worth it to complete the set.

Total cost of the set is about $200 US landed cost.  I'll sell my existing set for about $100 or so.

The incremental $100 cost is a LOT less than new paint, and it's all original.

Just picked up a set of K2 gauges for 21.50 from a guy in San Jose. I might need to replace the faded faces, but they both work ok apparently, and aren't all dinged up like mine, so I reckon they're bargain! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Just picked this up for $30 - cheaper than rebuilding and refinishing mine, especially once I sell mine.  It's been refinished using Eastwood caliper paint.  While it looks more glossy than original, mine looks like it's been sitting in the ocean for 2 years (but it works great).

I thought for 3 minutes too long about the corresponding $40 rebuilt master cylinder.  Mine works just fine, but it looked like this one still had the dark finish.  Ah well.

Still waiting on the right-side.  I bought the left almost a year ago.  Buy stuff when it comes up.

I got a van load of 750 (K2 + F1) parts, 2 frames, 3 engines (in parts), 4 sets of compleet carbs,6 pairs of wheels and enough bits to make up 3 bikes (if I find another frame) and still loads more ....all for £300. Should keep me busy for a few years.
The guy I baught it all from claimed to be 'cured' of his SOHC obsesion, and is now into C50+90's.

"Cured?" Is there a 12 Step Program? If there is, please don't tell my wife, she will try to enroll me.  ;)
