There you go Julie.
I have got to say the pictures do not do it justice.
The shine is so deep that I cannot get great pictures without reflections all over them.
Dream machine have done a fantastic job in 6 weeks and I cannot praise Kevin enough fantastic guy and could not be more helpful.
Well HAPPY  ;D ;D 8) 8)





















Lovely job 8), are the stripes decals or hand painted?

I'm looking forward to getting my paintset back from Menno at the end of June.  :)

Looks amazing Paul. Did the red tanks come with white HONDA badges on the UK K1?, my red UK K2 came with black 🤔

I didn't say it didn't like it 🙄🙄🙄 I'm just checking what came with red (I don't know why I'm bothering as I'm changing my original ruby red to Planet Blue anyway).😀😀😁😀  What parts list are you going by?

Haha....there's a thought. But as you know, Graham would only strip the whole bike down again to make sure it was all OK 😉😉😉😉 (which I know it will be).......

It is a strange one Paul and i would not like to comment on a red UK, K1 as, i have never seen a red one up close and personal. I know that the gold UK, K1 had the white badges.
All the original red  UK, K2's that i have ever seen had black badges on the red tank, i think RGP,s K2 had them also.

Absolutely no idea Paul, they were fitted when I bought it - but maybe to make it look younger or due to an accident?

Look away you purists, I updated my K1 with chrome headlamp brackets, K2 style rear light, a 4 into 1, sprayed it white, fitted a 900 conversion and fitted clip ons, it's what we did in those days.
