Anyone knows who make the fenders and are they any good?

I notice that the 750K0/K1/early K2 front fender has rocketed from last years price of 79GBP to 175GBP.

WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO REPRODUCE THE K0 double CUT FENDER AT LESS THAN $1000 Yamiya charge?

CB750 / Deox-C rust remover

« on: October 22, 2009, 06:01:42 PM »

I bought a CB750 341 style rear fender from the USA for my UK K0 (I could not find a new 300 style one with the UK 4-hole lamp mount) and the chrome was in really good condition but had the usual slight surface rust underneath, which I wanted to remove. I was recommended to use a product called 'Deox-C' by a friend who runs a local engineering company. I dipped the fender in it for about 48 hours, as I was assured that the chrome would not be damaged in any way. I have to say that the stuff is magic because it removed all of the rust but no base metal or Chrome. I think they also sell it in Gel form too. Don't know what it does to Zinc plating though but will try it out and report back. definitely brilliant for restoring chromed parts though.

Or does anyone know anything better?

CB750 / Early CB750Uk K0's

« on: July 13, 2009, 11:43:22 PM »

Hi the Genuine UK Cb750K I am restoring has frame 1010382 which is very close to the 1010369 (which is reported as the first UK reg) However my V5 says the date of 1st reg is 1st May 70 but I reckon the bike was made in 10/69. Anyone know what the frame numbers of the first UK batch were? My bike has black kill switch knob/double cut front guard and recessed ignition switch/oval rear lamp. I am sure it has the original fuel tank but it is not wrinkle although it has plain chrome finishing strips/Chromed alloy filler cap and badges with raised dots. Just curious. cheers Ash
