CB750K0 from DK
« on: January 27, 2017, 07:59:23 AM »
Okay guys an galls pick a few holes with this one. Personally struggling to see any K0 bits on it , but I'm no expert. Dont think it's worth buying as it will cost too much to replace all the bits even if you can find them.

Hmm, I got notified of this, now mine is more or less finished, the masochist in me keeps looking at an early bike to restore.

As far as I can see, its more a K6 with the wrong frame than a K0. It does have K0 clocks, even though the later idiot lights are fitted, and, er, that's it.....

But hey, the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours.

Mind you it could be worse, look at this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Honda-CB-/361887084183

Quote
1969 Honda cb750 sandcast, Sandcast number 1001073

You could buy it, swap the motor, sell it again and be the proud owner of, er, looks at photo of engine number, diecast motor number 1034188.....

Clearly some 'alternative facts' at play here.  >:(

Unless it's photographic perspective playing games, the front wheel of that bike looks too close to the exhaust downpipes.

Just a little out of line as a seller would say but, in the MOT bay, that is bent to F*ck.

Cant believe the bids on that as its nothing more than a pile of junk, and its not even made reserve yet. I guess if you just put the K0 thing in the advert up goes the price. All your buying here is a K0 frame and what's the use of that without the correct engine? Is anybody on here a bidder?

The climate was not so kind to the bike I bought in December.....fires and runs on spray was the advert......

Crikey Niko thats a mess. Dont understand why they would do that ether spray thing, could do all kinds of damage. Why don't they just tell us "does it turn over or is it seized"
