Been nattering to a chap over on the dark side, Facebook 😀, and i asked if it was ok to share his photo. UK CB750/4 K0.....with Dunstalls, Craven top box, screen and engine bars. He hasnt had the bike for many years but, What a lovely photo from back in the day.

Don't know if he still has the jacket but he says he still has the crash helmet ( before my biking time but, IIRC Helmets weren't compulsory then 🤔)

Wau! Such a nice photo! Surprised that on UK you still had that time that knive licence plates in 70's
If I know well ot has been forbidden in Czechoslovakia as dangerous to pedestrians

I had one of those screens on my 250k3 (smashed it when I fell off!) and Dustalls on my 500Four (damaged my eardrums!)
Reckon that picture was 71 - 73 based on the helmet as when I started riding on the road in 71, full face helmets were just becoming popular
Great picture

I think it was in 1973 they became 'optional' in UK Erny. They have never been banned or made illegal in UK.

Nice period photo.
Front number plates didn't earn the nickname 'bacon slicers' for nothing! 🙄

Great photo of the bike, period mods and clobber - very evocative of the early 70's, a period I hold very dear. A bit self indulgent I know, but here's a photo taken in June 1977 by Bev (my wife, we married in 81 and still are) of me and my K1 which is not not quite bestowed with many period mods (other than a Tower rack), after arriving at her parent's house in Twickenham wearing flares and t-shirt to take her out on our first date........

That flares & t-shirt! Nice!

Those exhaust lasted well (71 to 77) Andrew - mine used to fall apart in the first year or 2!

You're a bit if a disaster really Phil 🤣🤣🤣. Smashed a screen, damaged your eardrums and wrecked exhaust systems.......I bet that's not all either 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[philward]

Must have been jinxed Julie - never managed to get past 2 years before my exhausts rotted through - on all my 4's 500, Z1 and GS1000

UK weather combined with short rides?
