Unfortunately my experience with Honda's is limited to later models. My SP2 was a work of art wherever you looked. But having said that, my youth relates to the older ones, hence the purchase of the K1. Not a flash in the pan as I have just finished the restoration and sale of a Triumph Bonneville.
I think I enjoyed the work as much as riding the finished thing. It was sold for other reasons and the funds became available for the next toy, the K1.
Still to be fair the exhausts for the triumph were very good quality. Whole new learning curve then....
Thanks again for the info, greatly appreciated.
Hopefully the K1 will look nice when its finished
Cheers
