East Staffordshire K1 builder
« on: August 21, 2022, 03:10:16 PM »
Hello all.

I'm based between Birmingham and Derby and have just completed a restoration of a US import K1. Lots of videos on YouTube of the struggle but she's finished and ready to go to auction at Bonhams in October at the Stafford Show.

Cheers

Gareth

cant really see much of it as its mostly you riding it with a head cam. Photo's are probably what you need to do if you're keen for scrutiny to price it at the right level.
Mornings are the invention of the devil!

1977 CB550F (current money pit!!)
2002 VFR800 VTEC (The Beloved)
1977 CB400F (the last money pit!)
1998 Ducati 748\853 conversion(sold :()
1980 ish CB750KZ in a billion bits (need to get rid, anybody want one?))

Did you join here just to advertise your sale?

I hope you are prepared for nut and bolt critique.

Hi all,

I've posted a YouTube link on a different thread, but to answer some questions, I've had Honda fours for almost 40 years now (I still have the CB1100RD from 1983) and joined this forum as I'd been on the global SOHC forum for a while and was advised to join the UK version as this is where I'm based.

I'll post photos on the other thread so you can see the old girl better.

Cheers

Gareth
