Quote from: steff750 on October 15, 2017, 10:25:21 PM well its nice to know that there is at least three k0's still knocking around ,strange thing is i have only seen pics of two others and so far they are all red and i have yet to see a blue one?on the subject of the show i did not go myself probably never will again ive done it to death i was talking to some mates today who went on saturday they said never again they waited a hour and half to get in and came away with nothingIt's 120 miles away from me Steff. I got there about 9:15am and had to wait in the queue for 20 mins but overall not too bad. I always tell myself ...'not again' but continue to go ...it's a good place to meet up with kindred spirits you wouldn't normally get to see. you could argue that there isn't the NOS stuff there any more but it's pretty much dried up everywhere now for our bikes.

I went Saturday, got there about 9.45 and walked straight in. Learned the lesson from last year when they were lining up at the gate from 8.30. All the fuss about the Bonhams bike, I cant believe nobody else spotted the rough K0 on the outside back lot. Was hoping someone got a price for it as I couldn't find the stall holder.
I did just that Ash. Couldn't find anything Bomber though. But on another stall I did find (hiding in a box) a pair of brand new Bomber tank badges complete with screws. Didn't find anything else, was hoping for a front mudguard or a set of GS1000 header pipes (some chance).

Nice find on tank badges .. Thought it may have been you who bought Mick's on eBay last week for £50!

I have a couple of gs1000's. and 750's myself. Pm me and I'll dig out a link...

The eBay ones are way better than the Stafford items although both sets are repro's. Am rid of the Stafford ones already to a mate who's also now looking for a Bomber to restore (think he caught the expensive bug whilst at Stafford). That's a new one on me, collecting parts before you've even bought the bike. Got what appears to be a NOS top yoke off Mick as well although it's strangely not clear coated. I think mine may be cracked or it could just be the finish on it, but it was there and it was cheap so grabbed it just in case. Blimey, I'm turning into a collector of shiny parts now. Did you find any Bomber parts at Stafford Ash?

Often wish with my 750K0 I had just bought a frame and cases and gone from there !

So much so, the mate I was with who was starting a standard resto on one, is going along those lines now. Whilst on that do you know any good suppliers of GS stuff? Also any forums? He says he is strugling for bits and info....
