thanks Bryan, and Andy your bike looks great, a twin of mine when its finished! interesting solution,my exhausts are very solid, main problem is marks on the top at rear end, i think due to panniers rubbing, so will probably get them rechromed at some point when i am feeling rich!

hi all, whats the latest on the standard 4/4 exhausts for the k3? I know genuine ones are not available but does anyone make a pattern set? i actually like the look of these,i have a reasonable set on my imported bike,this was the main reason i bought it (from DK motorcycles) to use as spares for my other bike.They would rechrome ok but at what cost,any idea anyone?

hi Sproggy, welcome to the forum.Your bike looks to be in similar condition to my k3 which is waiting for restoration after i finish the other k3 in my garage! I have found them a fairly easy bike to work on as they are from my era, the 70s! good luck with the rebuild any advise i can give just ask,althoug there are many better qualified on this forum! cheers, Mick

i agree most people like the sound and look of a 4 cyl bike with 4/1 pipes although my k3 project will have original 4/4 system for the standard look.at present i have fitted a motad, bike not running yet bit too cold today!

hi all no Bryan exhaust is a chrome Piper 4/1 it did sound great, not as loud as the previous dunstall 4/2. other period mods were box section swing arm, alloy rims koni shocks black engine with chromed covers and that fairing was one of the first twin headlamp models had 2 cibie spots. hope to work on k3 this w/e waiting on some parts but lots more to do, meanwhile here is another pic, cheers, Mick

hey everone thanks for the great welcome! glad there are some like minded people out there.ref cost of parts, i must admit i am going a bit over the top with the rebuild,definitely more than its worth, but what the hey! the imported k3 no 2 will be a budget rebuild.Didnt get it going at weekend,had leaks from (supposedly) rebuilt carbs, mainly from adjusting screws at bottom in front of float chambers.i suspect the PO
missed out the rubber seals,anyone had the same probs?will dig out some photos of old 500/4 and post.cheers, Mick

hello everyone just a few words to introduce myself and my bike.I have just returned to biking after 30 years! I have a honda cb550k3 purchased as a abandoned restoration project, lots of work done but lots still to do,and a second k3 for spares, an american import with original 4/4 exhaust which will probably be restored next. My favorite bike ever was my cb500/4 from 1973 which i customised back in the 70s such a sweet free revving engine and so reliable! Am enjoying reading the forums and getting lots of tips for rebuild,aren't things expensive! Have had good service from David Silvers and Ebay so coming on a treat, engine back in next job is getting it running for the first time since 1983 ! allegedly only 6000 odd miles from new.Anyway watch out for my posts i may need some help and encouragement!
