But it does look good

Post by: K2-K6 on May 27, 2019, 04:12:04 PM: Very nice :) although there were, or seemed to be, alot of the red K6 around, I really like the blue paint.

Lovely looking bike Graham, are you keeping or selling?

Post by: Nurse Julie on May 27, 2019, 05:44:24 PM: I hope Graham intends keeping it for a while. I have just sold the Thundercat, which was the only bike we ever used 2 up, so I'm assuming this is the 2 up replacement.

Post by: Spitfire on May 27, 2019, 06:37:29 PM: That is a great result, I love to see bikes resurrected, I still wonder how many bikes are mouldering away in sheds and garages up and down the country.

Cheers

Yes Rich, 15 July 2015 ;) The guys electric meter for the house in a old back box ;D ;D

Have kept a lot of the age with this one, tank is still original (even down to the dent). Handle bars still original and had the clocks serviced but, kept the original faces and the exhausts are still original ( with scuffs ) .

Title: Re: Another old girl brought back to life
Post by: Trigger on May 27, 2019, 10:20:52 PM: When RGP 750 and i got this out of the coal shed, within a couple of days, i was riding it about.
A few years of sitting around waiting for me to find time and then it was stripped down, engine re built, frame painted, wheels done, forks refurbished, a few new parts and put back together . I love bikes like this, all there, just needs to refurbished.

Title: Re: Another old girl brought back to life
Post by: Mr_Sheene on May 30, 2019, 10:14:57 PM: It looks excellent but to say, 'just needs to refurbished', is an abuse of the word 'just'. Even with your well practiced talents that required effort.

I can answer that on behalf of Graham. The tank is the original and has not been painted but the side panels are new and were painted by Menno Dek in Germany who does all our paint work for the Honda SOHC/4's
