Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall

I bought a CBX from Flashback Enterprises last year, exactly the same process MoneyCorp transfer, delivery to Barrow etc dealt with a good guy 'Billy' this end who delivered the bike to me at reasonable cost. The bike turned up exactly as advertised, NOVA and taxes all in order so you have nothing to worry about there.

Looking forward to watching your progress

That's reassuring to hear. Did Billy get in touch with you when the bike arrived in Barrow, or will I have to contact him. What did he charge you delivery up to Scotland? Cheers.

Billy got in touch with me, I was in Liverpool at the time of delivery I think he charged £260 but cant quite recall, I didn't feel it was too expensive based on other quotes I had received

Roy - hopefully you can view this link. This is a really nice original K5 I had a while back - unrestored , so the photos may help as a reference point for you..,

As I don't really know what colour the bike was from new, I'm just thinking about the options for colour. Looking at the Yamiya site there are just three colour options for the K5. Obviously when the bike arrives I will see if the tank or panels still show any original colour. The underside of the tank rarely gets sanded back, and the back of the side panels for overspray are good places to look. If I can find it's original colour I will go with that (actually looking at the photo's again I think I'm seeing bits of red where the side panels are damaged). Failing that, I feel another vote coming on, what do you guys think.

For me it's Orange, Blue, then Red.

Personal choice Roy. For me I would choose between orange or blue. I would be biased if I said flake sunrise orange.
