I have added a picture today 27/01/15 Bare aluminium F1 Café racer.

I'm new here too and for some reason I can't see any picture of the tank. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi all.
I have looked through the search option but I am still somewhat confused.
I need a full gasket set for the K1 that I am building. I have gathered after a lot of looking that any ideas of getting genuine ones are way out so what is the best set to get and where from?
Am I right in thinking that all the models had different head gaskets, i.e. I need to get one specifically for the K1?
Also, could a copper head gasket be an option? I have read that they need ultra smooth mating surfaces and special sealant to work properly.

Oh, another question while I'm here. I did a leak down test on it after I took the engine out and although it was only just in the green on each cylinder the air was leaking past each exhaust valve quite a bit. I was planning on a decoke anyway and to re-lap the valve seats, but could this have been because it was a cold engine, I believe this test should be done when the engine is warm?

Any advice gratefully accepted. (and needed  ) 

What beautiful hair!
The girl on the back's is quite nice too  .

You think that hairstyle was bad, move on a couple of years, add a TZ750 fairing and some other bits and bobs to the K6 and forget to get a haircut.




And yes, I did make a mess of the K6, young and foolish I suppose.  (I'd forgotten about those S&W air shocks!!!!!)

Thank you, that's brilliant.
It just so happens I was nosing around the interweb and happened across that very site.
I shall investigate further.

How about those rubber cushion things that go into the headlamp brackets. Any ideas where I could get any of thos from, I think I need 4 but I only have one.

This is going to be more fun than I first thought. 

Hi all,
I have found that someone has replaced the rev counter at some stage on my K1 with a later type (no idiot lights). Is it possible to fit idiot lights to this rev counter or is it time to start looking for another one.
I have seen these replacement dials which could be a start.

Replacement dials

I do have a few other questions as well but will spread them out to get my post count up. 

That looks excellent, something for me to aim at.

I need a mainstand if you know where there is one. Worth an ask.

Thanks for all the welcomes, I look forward to many happy hours tinkering. 

Hi all.
I have come on here as I have acquired a 1971 CB750K1 (I think it's a K1) which is in several pieces.
It has been many years since I tinkered with these bikes, I had a K6 in 1977, so I am probably a little rusty.
I will try and put some pictures up so you know what I'm on about.









The exhausts are in quite good condition which is a bonus as is the frame. The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed the 750K number plate, that in itself is a nice touch.
Anyway, I am glad to be here and look forward to picking all of your grey matter in the near future.

Cheers,  Dave
