Thanks Steff, good info helped a lot, and since posting the question I visited Sandcast Owners Club ( I know over to the Darkside) in there Tech/Restoration Support they state the sandcast has depressions between rear head bolts, mine has NOT, so just bad alloy I guess, so any info on cleaning it would be appreciated, originally came from Isle of Sky, so sea air probably wont have helped. Thanks again all. Jock.

Hi, Guys, Do any of you wizards have any first hand knowledge of Soda Blasting for cleaning alloy on the bike, have got together all the bits but wondered if any one else had tried it and had any tips, This is all part of the ongoing KO restoration. Hears hoping Jock. Bobthebuilder.

Hi Ash,
Just read your last post. Tank that was on bike has non magnetic filler cap.
Other tanks have magnetic filler caps so perhaps had better sort the rust inside which is really only on spine below filler cap [ do you think]
Cheers again Jock

Honda KO Tank.
Hi Guys thanks for all the info on tank rust much appreciated.
Got a K2 last year from EBay which turned out to have K7 engine. Along with K2 came F2 in basket case condition and 2 boxes spare parts, and 2 petrol tanks sprayed black [very badly ]. Put them at back of garage and forgot about them till yesterday.
Went and dug them out and found one was originally pearl blue and other gold, both have wrinkles on spine at bottom but only visible if turned upside down, Gold tank is immaculate inside so appear to be lucky them.
Ash. KO engine.
My nephew has a car repair garage in Doune Stirling.
They also customise Harleys ect. turns out mechanic has had SOHC. 750 from K1-K7, sold one last year to a guy in Malta. Engine is soaking in releasol at present time will keep you up to speed when he starts to dismantle same
Cheers Jock.
