Better not let my wife rad this, her fabric stash is nearly as big as my bike stash!!!

Last but one shop on the right if you take the A6 south towards Matlock.Well bugger me, I stopped in Bakewell the last time I was there and parked outside the Pharmacy which if I'm right is opposite your shop, turned the bike round there as I fancied a meal at the Castle Inn round the corner, had a few meals at that pub and they've all been really good. It was last year and I'd have been on a red/white CB1300 like my avatar, you may have heard it and looked out of the window. There's a petrol station just up the road on the same side as you and a few years ago I accidentally gave him a forged tenner, I had it in my wallet as someone had passed it onto me when I was working on the buses and I'd pulled it out without looking, still feel a little ashamed of that even now. Some really good roads around you, envy you such scenery and the roads. I don't tend to use the A6 a lot even though it runs right through our town, I turn off just before Buxton and run through Sparrowpit, Stoney Middleton and Baslow and down the A619 into Bakewell. Far too many cameras on the A6 and the A515 including Police helicopters.

Being super critical here but reverse the upper yoke pinch bolts, they are meant to have the nut on the bottom so if for any reason the nut works loose you don't loose both nut and bolt. I've got to admit I was sort of cursing you when i spotted you'd got them for £13. The K3 and the F2 550s use a lot of the same parts, speedo, tacho for instance. They can also use the same fork ears and I've been looking for a half decent set of fork ears for an F2 for a good while, the top down pic fooled me at first as I'd forgotten the K3 uses those big indicators and the ears have the stems already welded to them, the F2 doesn't so they wouldn't have fitted mine anyway and may even be the reason I didn't go after them. I'm having my fork ears rechromed now but for £13 those are a nice find. Really starting to look the part now, big improvement on how you bought it.
I may have a tacho if your looking, they were blue faced on the 550F2 and 550K3. I’ll see what condition they are in, do have a NOS one but they ain’t cheap.
True that Tim, but you need the correct one to start with and that ain't the right one, almost certain to be a 750 tacho. I was pretty sure I had some second hand tachos lying around, found a decent speedo but no tachos as yet. I'd be willing to part with the NOS one for what I paid for it, £175, I can then get my old one restored by Kent, I thought Kent was in South Africa BTW, wasn't there someone in the UK doing them? Last time I sent a package to SA it went missing for months. If you need pics let me know.

He engraved my CB1300 ignition cover for me with an old style Honda wing, really nice bloke.
