Spot on Hairy they in my opinion the most reliable bikes I came across in my youth and worked on all of them including hair dryers.Christchurch was a place I looked forward to a night stop over in the days when I was drivers mate many a good memory from there.
Thanks

Totally agree mileage is meaningless on an old bike whose to say the speedo is correct.I commute on my k1 when I can it very rarely does less than 100 miles a day if I get to use it.
I'm on it meet wise looks like we will hopefully be doing a few runs next year as people seem fairly keen.

She's certainly well looked after! ::)
  Forks back on after confirming spring length, new stanchion and seals replaced. Just dropped sump to inspect for 'bits' after re sleeve on no 1 (due to being stored for along time and subsequent corrosion with valves open of course) and re honing with new rings 1000 miles ago. Other bits done including new T chain/tensioner. Nothing nasty thank God! I do feel for the other guy re the sheared dog on the previous thread and wish him the best with that he finds. Little or no damage I hope.
   Oil is very black after a short time since oil /filter change, however we're confident that it's been down to incredibly rich carbs, which have been a pig to set up, but now with them set up properly after overhaul, I am hoping for a better result being extensively run on the rolling road - will monitor!
    Sorry guys, gone off the thread a bit - I do get a little keen over these 750's!😍 great advice around the site, thanks.
    Nige.
