It was a bit nippy, but stayed dry. 👍

Went for a scoot about this afternoon but 30 odd miles was enough to get cold so time for winterisation I think.

More pics from Stafford Show.
Funny how I picked out bikes models I used to own.

This made me think my next project might be a tidler.

I saw this 'show pony' at Stafford but quite a few things non-standard that let it down as a true UK model
USA front guard
K0 chainguard (should be painted black, not chromed)
Alloy rims
K0 'TYPE 1" stamped points cover.
Pattern silencers
Overpolished alloy.
Top yoke should be painted black.
HT Plug Caps
Headlamp bowl should be painted black.

Below is the CB350K4 UK Brochure shot.

What did you think of the red 150 I posted Ash?

Looks nice apart from the horrid pattern silencers that are nothing like the originals.

Don't talk to me about silencers

This looks an interesting project CA175 just like CD175A sloper but different tank and electric start .. hence the larger side panel to accommodate a larger capacity battery.

I did wonder what supported them as they looked quite long - I can't remember what the originals looked like.

I guess that's either a C92 (125cc) or C95 (150cc) or possibly the CA USA version.

The early bikes had flattish profile silencers (a bit like C100) and the later ones had more rounded like a C50 style. Really depends on the year. Pre-1963 I think had the flatter silencers and flat pressed steel bars with a mega rare and EXPENSIVE plastic emblem in the centre of the bars. Repros are available from the Far East but if you ever see a genuine one at an autojumble grab it!

This is the later style with standard silencers.

There's definitely a storm brewing, just putting the bikes inside for the winter, I can't believe that's another riding season over 😭😭😭😭
