CB500K1. Cafe Racer to Original...sort of!
Seabeowner:
In £ terms that 4-4 is about £100 more than UK. DSS and CMSNL must have ordered dozens of sets and have sold quite well here and are usually the key to sale for someone after after an original looking bike. But if it's a bike to keep and ride, then you won't get your money back, but great to stare at when it's parked outside the cafe.

My restoration is absolutely not about the money.
Apart from which, I'm retired some 9 yrs now and altho' living a reasonably comfortable lifestyle, I'm not flush with cash! :(
I want it to look fairly much like it did in '72 and also be able to ride it wherever and whenever! 8)
If I win Lotto however, then the game changes LOL! ;D ;D ;D
AndyH:
Things move slowly in WA (Wait Awhile!) ;D
Just returned from a trip up into the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia. Now back in the cold hole that is Perth in Winter!! :-[
Installed the replacement wiring harness, fitted the electrics panel (refurbished & thanks to Cal on sohc4.net for the sub-harness!), rear blinkers fitted/wired and took the front wheel and caliper off in preparation for removing the forks, polishing them and mounting the fork ears. They've been chromed and ready to go on, but waiting for delivery of top rubber "cushions" from DSS which are now back in stock and should arrive in the next week or so. 8)

Glad to hear things are movie g along. It always makes me chuckle about this forum and the overseas members, I still find it difficult to comprehend that it's winter down under, while we are all moaning it's too bloody hot here!

Well, while we were in the Pilbara and Kimberley, the temps were in the mid 30s....degrees C, that is! ;D
We got within 500kms north of Perth and the temps plummeted.....2°C in the van first thing in the mornings.
It's now 12.6°C outside at home, windy and bloody wet!! >:( >:( OH well, back to the shed tomorrow to polish up the forks.
