Hello Mark and welcome to the forum  ;), post some photos of your progress when you get chance  ;) cheers Mick
Thanks Mick, will do in a few weeks , not much to see at present, engine in, oil tank in (used the original oil tank mounted transversely, looks quite convincing as a period part but I will fit a CR replica when funds allow), I have the fuel tank and seat unit but not fitted yet cheers Mark.

Good luck Mark, I think I met you in A bike shop when I was getting a tyre fitted?
That's right, racing lines, I also remember seeing your mint Honda Britain on the way to Matlock, I trust it's safely tucked up for the winter?

Welcome Mark, it would of been cheaper to fix a leaking roof than to restore a 750K. Enjoy.
When I first got the bike home I did briefly think of restoring it, when I saw the cost of an exhaust system I soon changed my mind!, actually would have been cheaper to build an entire garage  :o

Welcome mark - look forward to hearing about your project. I've been assembling parts to do the same for a while now - so will watch with interest. James.
Hi James, I'll post some photos in the next few weeks when it starts going back together, so far frame modded/powdercoated, engine back in, no major work done, I'm putting it on the road so it's basically a stock K7 engine, (I have another engine that I will eventually fit once I've put the big bore kit on it, removed the generator, done cam etc etc), I am currently doing the twin disc conversion and fitting rear sets, my target is end of May so that I can take it to the TT.

Welcome Mark.
I've never seen a CB with a roof never mind a leaking one.   :P
I knew I was risking that response when I wrote it!  :)

Hello, I'm building a CR750 replica (well look alike at least) so joining the forum seemed a good idea, apologies to any purists but the K7 that I am using as a base had sat in a garage with a leaking roof since 1995 and was beyond economical restoration, look forward to speaking to you, cheers Mark.
