Thanks Mick, but they are about 5mm too short for that and there's no sign of any tack weld or glue or anything.

Me again, I knew I would have a shed load of questions. When I took the clocks off the K1 I noticed that the speedo had something rattling around inside. I thought it might be a loose bulb but when I stripped it , I am changing the face, I found two bracket looking parts floating around and I cannot figure out where they came from, I am guessing some form of light shield or reflector even.  They are on the right in the picture. Has anyone any ideas?

You must watch the word Genuine, it does not mean original. Look up Yamiya, they will have the correct switch.
Thank you, I hadn't thought of that, I assumed Genuine was a genuine NOS part that would be right. I will have a look at Yamiya now.

Hi again,
The switchgears on the K1 are completely shot and I have been looking at the ones David Silver is selling.
It lists the left hand one as a genuine part but it is slightly different than the one I have in that theirs has the word TURN after the L/R on the indicator switch and mine doesn't.
On the right hand side one theirs has the light switch marked as . L H, whereas mine has . L p H.
I know it's not much different but will they be ok to use or best avoided, they do seem quite inexpensive for what they are.
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I'm not building some concourse restoration here, I wouldn't know how, just tidying things up a bit to make the bike presentable so things that are not exactly right for the bike is not too much of a problem as long as they work ok.

It's OK, I got the K7 one and it does fit.

Hi.....looks good. Which kit did you buy....how much and where from?
Regards.
I got this kit off eBay. You get everything in it but it does take a couple of reads of the instructions to set up. That said, once you get into it, it is quite easy. And you do need to prepare the item before plating as it will show any pits or marks through the plating but for bolts and the like it is fine. I got mine from here

I have gone and got myself one of those kits to play with. It seems to work quite well at turning the likes of these..  into these..  Very easy to use and takes about twenty minutes in the tank to do them.

Hi all, would a CB750K7 main stand fit a K1?
I just need something for now until I can get the right one.

I don't know if I am allowed to suggest items that I sell but I am probably about to find out. I have just realised that one of the stem spanners we make fits the 750K1 perfectly so I have listed them as such to see how they go. click here for websiteor click here for eBayI have looked at the part number for the nut and it seems pretty generic so I guess the stem spanner will fit quite a few things. Please let me know if this is OK or have I crossed the line?

I don't think mine's going to turn out anything near as good as that. Oh well, as long as it comes out clean.

I have been playing with the engine on the K1. cleaned the head, lapped the valves, new stem seals and put it back together after a general clean. Trouble is I have run out of new cross head bolts and have still got the transmission cover to fit. Does anyone know where to get just the odd few or better still, anyone who does whole engine kits? Here's how far I've got.

Going back to head gaskets, I have been thinking of making copper head gaskets, can these be used successfully or are there problems involved with them?
I am more curious then anything as I am making stainless steel parts and ignition advancers at the moment and making copper head gaskets was an idea to broaden my horizons as it were.

Ah, I see now. Would this make it easier.
