As the 750 k0 is now all sorted i thought it was time to start another one.
This may seem a bit sad to some but i do have a habit of living in the past.
Back in 1972 i had a CB175 new ,the first bike i had ( forgetting the li125 lambretta i had before that).
A bike i always loved i had if for only a year and sold it to my twin brother who eventually sold it on to some mate of his
who kept falling off of it and eventually he sold it to his window cleaner (I found that out a couple of years ago )'
Talking to a customer three or so years ago he did the DVLa check and there it was ,on the road somewhere
After loads of attempts to track it down i have given up but in the process i bought last year the bike in the photos here .
My bike was DKL54K and as you can see this id DKL69K it came out of the same dealer the same day as mine back in 72 so
the plan is to restore this one.
I will then have something smaller to ride when the years catch me up.
Menno has done the paint for me. Frame is now in primer and a lot better condition than i thought it would be.
I have a brand new crank and 2 doner bikes for replacing any rough parts.
The engine is stripped and apart from a broken starter motor mounting screw no major problems.
Dissembled mudguards for chrome stripping prior to dent removal and re polishing ,chroming and then rivet back together again.
Thats enough rambling ,i'll update as things happen
