Title: Interesting K0 at DK
Post by: paulbaker1954 on October 04, 2019, 11:22:14 PM
Looks a nice buy, not a super early K0 but looks all original and a running bike. Would need to change those exhausts ideally though

Interested to hear why you say this, I couldn’t see any hacks from the pics

New harness and a bit of wiring would be no problem. But as you say Oddjob what else has been butchered. Loads of bids with 9 hours to go all hoping to bag it for 2.5k. Dream on.

This is the 3rd time they have listed it. £2565 first time and £2355 second time, both below the reserve.

New harness is different on K0 but you can change everything

Those pipes look ok...although obviously not for the purists.. but back in the day you would probably ditch the originals as soon as you could afford a sporty replacement.

That colour though.... that is really light. It resembles candy super yellow used on Honda ss50's

Colour could be the light the pictures are taken under, a lot of their pics look lighter to me, exhausts are original front pipes with Jardine silencers from US. Supposedly sold

Yes,  as Bryan says above regarding colour.

It's set from camera measuring rgb channel output from camera chip data to give "correct colour" balance. 

The images have a cyan bias (minus red) and will make the image rendition skewed in that way, so less orange/gold than the naked eye would perceive if standing in front of it.

If I understood all that Nigel, I'm sure I would be mighty impressed 😊😊😊

Ha ha,  guilty as charged and so far down the rabbit hole I had to SHOUT.

Too many years spent trying to match customer's colour photographs to their expectations,  whether reasonable or not   :)

Although,  weirdly if you saw the white rabbit down there in that light he would look cyan  ;D

And doing things like re-taking a customer's ruined pictures of a horse that was only available on a short visit to the UK from Russia. Something I'd never contemplated before was the horse spoke Russian,  well when I say "spoke" he only understood Russian  ;D ;D I kid you not.

Nigel, if I had known about your photographic prowess earlier I would have asked you to be our wedding photographer on 6th December at Beaulieu! You'd have got the gig for sure especially if you could remove my red eyes, cauliflower ears and flattened nose from the photos📷👍. You could have got a crafty SOHC into one of the Bride & Groom shots 😉.
