Title: Hello from sunny Scotland
Post by: Albannach on January 04, 2015, 05:34:10 AM

Hi all...

I've just bought what I think is a CB550K3, but mine was first registered in 1979 which is a bit odd, it also seems to have F exhausts fitted to it.

Chassis number - CB550K2025730
Engine number - CB550E2026451

The bike is in a terrible mess and is in need of a full restoration, I'll get some pictures of it the next time I'm over at my lock-up.

In the meantime, I'll be around asking questions and generally making a nuisance of myself.

Cheers
Andy

I'm full of silly questions and often wrong answers but I'm learning.

K3's didn't sell well and a lot hung around in crates on on dealers showroom floors so didn't get registered till late

Welcome Andy,

If your in need of any parts for your 'k3' give me a shout as I'm cannibalising a K3 for a cafe racer project.
