CB750 / Disc drilling

« on: October 29, 2016, 02:37:29 PM »

I'm thinking of drilling the front disc and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get this done in the South East?

CB750 / The old bike served me well again

« on: September 30, 2016, 11:07:02 PM »

Did a very enjoyable 1,000 miles in 5 days crossing Belgium, Netherlands and Germany without missing a beat :-)

Average 100km/7L with top speed of 120mph on the dials at times - not sure what that equates to in real miles though..

CB750 / Original ducktail seat

« on: May 08, 2016, 06:26:53 PM »

Have been pondering for a while, but it is time to let go of the ducktail seat I've owned for some time, as Ive decided to stick with my K2 and not pursue a K0 diecast or sandcast in the future.

Rather than put it on the Bay, I'd rather have that someone finish off their restoration with it to enjoy for years to come. I have seen some of these offered for around £1,200 and am not after that kind of silly money, but at the same time would like get a decent amount for it to invest in my bike(s).

About the seat itself:

- it is original with red/brownish foam
- it is not mint but in very good condition and considering the complete lack of corrosion on the pan and fittings, I suspect it has never been fitted
- the chrome on the side has some dents due to storage

I think there are some people on here restoring K0's so let me know if you're interested

May also consider an K2 tank + side panels in good original condition in exchange, to change colour on my bike from time to time.

Will post some pics shortly

Hi all,

Have lurked for too long so time for an intro :-)

My K2 has been with me for about 16 years and served me well. Before that, I used to ride a 4 speed SS50 which I still have, but is in need of some TLC.

Swapped engines of the K2 last weekend due to having bashed 2nd gear.. :-) Now that its running smoothly again, I am looking forward to a good riding season.

Will try to attach some pics.
